Thank you Hornet, yes i forgot about the flowerpot snake.
That's that real little fella that comes over in the soil of pot plants???

[hornet]

yup, hes not doing any damage that i heard of but being exotic he cant be protected

[Goannas1]

no ****** thay are a amphibian i would of never known

[hornet]

well you did just call them a reptile

[gman78]

Where is the red eared slider turtle from?
Do you know if you allowed to catch the Asain Geckos or keep them?
I don't think so from what i know, i did live in Brissy for 10 years and i do miss the noise at night.
Do any othe Gecko bark like they do?

If you are looking for a LEGAL Native Gecko species that actively barks and makes entertaining noises. Try Barking/ Thicktail Geckos.
There are numerous breeders in Vic and they rarely go for over-the-top prices.

house gecko are on licence in nsw i forgot about flowerpot snake red eared slider turtles are illegal in aus so you cant have them at all unlese you have them illegaly

[junglepython2]

You won't be able to legally keep asian house gecko's in Victoria. If you want a cheap gecko off license go for a marbled gecko.

[Goannas1]

well you did just call them a reptile

yer my bad

[gman78]

Thanks Rocket, that's the answer i'm after. I don't want an Asian House Gecko.
What about the Marble Gecko? I've got a friend giving me his but it's still young.

[hornet]

no, cant keep em but they are not protected

[Rocket]

Marbled geckos do not really bark, they can make noises but are reluctant to and will usually drop their tail if scared.

[gman78]

I'll have to treat him special then.
Don't want him dropping his tail and stressing him.
How much are barking geckos?

[Rocket]

Hatchlings range from $60-$90ea and Adults $80-$150.

Thicktails range in different colours and patterns depending on locality and genetics. Some can be Hypomelanistic. Some can be patternless etc.

They are a very popular species and do extremely well in captivity but are intolerant of high temperatures.
