Who keeps Leachianus?

[EverEvolvingExotics]

Since the first time I saw these big dumpy geckos I have wanted one. The only thing keeping me from purchasing one is the hefty price tag. One day I'll get one when either prices lower or I put aside enough money.

I just wanted to know if anyone on here has them.

If you don't know what they are I provided a link.

i dont have them for the same reason but i do love them

The price tag is high because they don't produce as many eggs as other rhacs and also take a lot longer to reach sexual maturity... I don't have any personally just cresties and a chahoua but would love one ... you can usually get a mixed strain for a lot lower price have seen them as low as 3- 4 hundred bux.... A few months back someone gave away 5 for free on Pangea

Try Gehyra Marginata (Poor mans Leachie ) is a big chunky leachy looking gecko at a fraction of the price

Outstanding gecko, outstanding pet. We have bred them in the past, and now Chad just keeps a gorgeous adult for a pet. One of my favorite species. Highly recommended, and a sub culture to themselves in the hobby.

I am aware why they are costly, I believe they are worth it. I just can't justify one at this point. One day...

I have never heard of the Gehyra Marginata, I will look into them.

I saw that post on pangea. They were beautiful high patterned leachies! So much color!!!

That's awesome. I would definitely just want one for a pet at first. I know how I am though and they would become addicting and I would have to get the opposite sex, haha.

I have a baby from Big Fat Geckos. S/he is an Island E mix, we think.





I love this baby, s/he is growing quite fast and is around 10 grams. I was going for a chahoua but fell in love with the adult leachie on display during the MB show.

What a cutie. I think of them as english bulldogs, they are so ugly they're cute. Would you mind sharing how much you paid for her? If not publicly, can I get a PM? All the shows I've been to have much better pricing than their online counter parts.

That has been worrying me as well, I'm afraid I will run into a breeder with too amazing of an animal to pass up at the Tucson or Phoenix show. Last year was the first time I saw one in person, until then it was just on the internet. Seeing and holding a chunky adult is too hard to say no to.

I've thought about a chahoua, I just really like the leachie faces. I wouldn't mind either, haha.

Thanks for sharing. It's cool to see others have them, they aren't very common.

I don't keep 'em, but they are on the 'definitely in the future' list.

I exclusively want GTs, which are pricier than many other options out there, and that hefty price tag and my unwillingness to compromise on what I want has kept them out of my hands so far.

Does anyone have a good website to look into the different locals? I've tried looking with little luck. I am still very confused by it. I have no idea what they are but my favorite has a beautiful moss green with pink blotches.

Grand Terre? I recognize the name, but don't know what color and pattern to associate it with.

Mixes are always much less than just one local, does this degrade their color or pattern, or are they considered experimental and don't truly understand how they will end up looking?
