I took some pictures of my Oedura castelnaui's last night.
Hope you like them.
They are 3/4 year old and have grown nicely.

I was wondering, if this colouration is normal for the Oedura castelnaui?

After a few minutes they got darker as the room light was switched on!!!

Lars they are great. Checking them against the few pics i have, they are completely different colours ??
 
AWH OMG they're GORGEOUS!!! :D
you have some lovely animals lars, I'm jelious :lol:
congrats
 
Thank you all very much for the nice comments!!! :)

Yes, that's what I was wondering too!!!

During the day they can show a very dark colouration and at night they show these bright colours!!!

Can you post some pics???
 
Amazing animals you have there Lars. Unlike anything I've ever seen in Australia. It seems the more 'orangey' coloured animals are common O/S, am I correct?

Hopefully they turn out to be a male and female for you. Good Luck.
 
As always Lars, stunning animals :D

They look like little lollies!
 
have a look on the geckophiles forums( geckos unlimited) they are the same as the amelanistic castelnauis that the americans breed.Absolutely awesome animals..castels to be proud of for sure.

Yes Rocket, you're right!!! :)

Thanks!!!

Well, it seems that they are indeed a pair!

They seller told me that he can see the sex of them when they are newborn babies!!!

But he can only see the hemipenis-bulges of the males for about maximum one week
after they hatched!!!

And it seems that he was right!

Haha, thanks Miss B, and I must say that your Bredli on the avatar is a true stunner!!! :D

Yes sparticus, I know the amelanistic castelnaui's.

But they are much more expensive and the babies have a ligher colouration!!!

I got dark babies and they can get very dark (nearly black) during the day!!!
Like this gecko here!

Please scroll down a bit here to the second last picture!

There you can see amelanistic hatchlings and my geckos look similar to the dark castelnaui
on the third picture!
