any information on Halmahera Giant Geckos?

[Tidus10]

ive searched and seems like no one has any real information i can find.. they seem to be much cheaper than the leachies but get just a bit smaller... i dont see a downside to these fellas..

Only thing I could find was this basic care sheet http://www.proexotics.com/care_halmahera.html

the downside to them is that most of them are WC imports and they are very flighty. The other difference is that they have VERY sensitive skin that is prone to tearing if you are not careful. I have had one of these geckos and they are great, I miss mine greatly.

They need to be kept warm (so not like Rachs), they will eat insects and CGD which is cool. And the adults need a decently sized enclosure.

If you can find a LTC or a CB one, they are great geckos, but more for watching than for handling. They can be safely handled for short periods of time, or conditioned to handling but its a longer journey than with some other geckos.
