From my understanding these geckos are no harder than any other reptile to keep as long as u provide the conditions they need, I have numerous friends who keep and breed this species and they shouldnt be made out to be a unicorn as a few people have in this thread we should be encouraging people not putting people off these sort of animals
Definately agree with Sam, any keeper with half a brain that can put in to practice the research they do on the species can keep them. keepers down here in SEQLD keep and breed them with ease.
People and breeders shouldn't be putting off interested herpers from keeping these great geckos thats for sure,as i know this season there have been multiples bred.
so i would be anticipating them to be more readily available now, so im sure the breeders out there wont want people to be discouraged.
if people are willing to invest money into animals then i'm sure they are willing to do the research to keep the animals in good health and in the proper environment. much the way gtp's have gone these days. alot of people keep them easily with minimal experience.
the industry spans way past APS's walls so saying you never see or hear of them for sale is also rubbish, they are available if you know where to look or who to ask or (one again) if you do your research!
they are a species with specific needs, ill definitely agree with that,but that's much like alot of reptiles kept in the industry. so my advice would be to do the research on the species find the breeders or keepers and ask for advice.
after all, we all started somewhere and we all needed help to get more involved in the herp world and with more interesting species.
