In the spirit of preciousness...

Hello everyone,

I was just lurkin' and lookin' at geckos when I saw Emily's post with her cute little Strophurus sp. so I was digging through photos (naturally... taken by Celia of course) of some of my geckos and thought I would post some also...

Here is a little Smooth Knobtail Nephrurus levis levis... LOOK!! He's smiling... but nope not really... he looks kinda ticked!

Here is REALLY ROUGH! The "Rough" Knobtail Nephrurus amyae These guys are like little Bulldogs... really makes me want to make a super tiny spiked leather collar!

Sometimes all these awesome lizards makes me wonder why I deal with stupid snakes...

*NOTE* This California Kingsnake did this on his own and he is STILL alive today. If a snake swallows itself all the way will it turn inside-out?!? Or maybe it will disappear! :O

I hope you all like some of my gex... I have always been a GECKO-FREAK!

Good luck to everyone...

This one looks like he is doing pushups :8:. Great animals and as always amazing pictures.

WTF?????????????? Is this... umm....normal??

Deborah... Thanks a lot for the compliment on the photos! All of the Nephrurus sp. do push-ups when they are mad. They also try to yell at you a bit!

Emily... Thanks for the compliments as well! Please e-mail me when you produce some Strophrurus williamsi... I NEED THEM! I'm going to try to get some S. cilliarus next year, I hope I can deal with that nasty spray they have :(

Adizziedoll... It is not normal for a Cal King to try to eat itself. However it IS normal for a Cal King to try to eat anything! Case in point :)

Sean I really like that Nephrurus amyae if I was going to add another lizard to my collection that would be the one. Very interesting little guy/girl there.

Thanks for the pics I always enjoy.

What awesome pics. Please give my regards to Celia! :colbert2:

I love the Smooth Knobtail Nephrurus levis occidentalis. I gotta stop looking at all those cute geckos. They're positively addicting. :love:

i have to say that the williamsi are some awesome little geckos. i'm working on producing some as we speak--my female laid one infertile clutch and has been placed with the male so i'm expecting more eggs any day now! :D
