Some WA Locale pairs still fetch $650. My mate sold a pair of good quality WA's only last week for $650.

 

[Jungles]

About $400-$550. depending on locale, breeder, quality of animals etc.
Id much prefer to spend that kinda cash on some nice dragons

TBH they look about the right size to me although im no gecko expert only ever kept a few species and they wernt marbs.

Thanks mate....

Here's one of my largest youngsters of the WA lineage-about 7 months old. It's beginning to morph into adult colours. They take quite a time to do this and dont really get the full yellowness until adult size, which in my care is about 12 months.

Great Oeduras Spongebob, very impressed !! Too bad or glad you arent on Queensland you would make me penniless

I saw this one at the last Melbourne expo. This guy was selling pairs of babies for $550 on the day I think, didn't have enough cash on me, so missed out.

This one climbed up onto my hand so slowly and quietly and sat there, so gorgeous!!

This is one i got from Bob about 2 months ago. H e is getting ready for a big breeding season hopefully.

I've been asked for some more updated photos of the marms so I thought I'd post here to share. I've tried to make use of natural sunlight. While the winter sun is much softer the long shadows make it quite difficult to get shots without half the body in shade. Anyway I've tried my best. Again please add.

First a couple of the largest WA marms from the past seasons breeding.

and an adult female NT fat tail.

and a subadult NT fat tail (looks to be female too)

Very nice Bob !!!! thanks i got your other pics. Gee i wonder who requested the pics of the WA Marms They are a must have and please put my name in permanent marker against a pair when its selling time.

I too agree that animals originating from the several localities from WA in captivity are the most appealing animals based on looks and size but O.marmorata in general are dirty filthy animals .

However, I love my animals but its a shame as I don't know the exact origin of the bloodline and locality of mine. They are from some of John McGrath's earlier progeny if that helps......

I'll throw up some photos later on...

Not as big as the WA ones which seem to be the biggest as far as I'm aware. So around 16cm. Cost about the same.

will post my NT marms (Alice Springs) when i get some batteries for my camera.
Luke1 - I just house them in a 2 1/2ft x 2ft x 2ft glass tank, haven't had a problem with heat escaping and im from Victoria. Running a 10w heat mat and they are in a heated house so the temp is always constant at whatever i set.

Yeah I know what you mean. It took a while for me to find good housing for my marms. I bought a gecko cave which is fantastic. They love it and I can check on them whenever I want without disturbing them too much. Although I find they hide most of the time up the top of the enclosure where the fake rock wall meets the lid. There's a very small gap, but they hide there and wait for the crickets to climb the wall.

There is a pair of O. gemmata on herptrader for $1,000.
Out of my price range ;(
Some Giant Cave Geckos yesterday and O. Gemmata today ... what will be posted tomorrow
