Re: The Halmahera Giant or New Caledonia Giant Gecko..
He is "cool and wicked". Looks like he has a regenerated tail also.

Thanks BG. Yeah I think it's a regenerated tail too. They palce I got it from said it went missing for awhile. So i'm guessing the tail drop happened then. Thanks for look

Re: The Halmahera Giant or New Caledonia Giant Gecko..
I hate to be a bearer of semi-bad news, but that is a Tarentola annularis (White-Spotted Gecko). Definitely not a Rhacodactylus.
Not from New Caledonia. It's from Sub-Saharan northern Africa. It needs a drier setup than you have there. Strictly insectivorous.
I think your setup will work just fine, if those are mainly artificial plants. Just lower the humidity, and raise the heat a lot, if you were keeping it like a Rhac. (More heat is the most crucial thing).
Some care sheets:

I would be curious to know if you had it eating CGD or fruit, and if it actually ate any, lol.

Re: The Halmahera Giant or New Caledonia Giant Gecko..
Thanks for those links WingedWolf. I was about to post that it definitely wasn't either a leachie or a halmahera, but you saved me having to verify for sure what it is.
Make sure to QT this new gecko and I'd advise getting a fecal done so you can treat it for any parasites. You definitely do not want to risk any cross contamination with your rhacs. Rhacs can be more succectible to parasites and often do not fare as well as other reptiles when infected.

Definatly looks like a Moorish/crocodile gecko. They usually only get about 4-5". Neat little geckos. They are pretty common at expos. Verrrrrry nice setup!

Not a Moorish. T. mauritanica don't have the white spots.
