[salebrosus]

Well if he doesnt get killed you'll find him on the exotics market soon enough

Simone.

I think your spot on Moreliaman!

 

[tan]

From what I read the Heteronotia doesn't occur in Melbourne which is why I also assumed foreign due to the circumstances of where it was found.

 

[Moreliaman]

I guess it being quite a common herp over here & i used to sell them "might" give me a small advantage of id'ing it !...

 

[pugsly]

haha well there ya go.

Yeah I think I have studied my Reptile books of Australia enough and didnt recall seein any looking like that..

Nice looking things, hard to keep?

 

[haz1111]

What are the chances of me having mites on my clothing??

 

[pugsly]

Those mites, not likely, they latch onto the Gex and pretty much stay there, Leaf tails have them all the time in the wild.

Just spray yourself with TOD and you'll be right!

 

[Moreliaman]

One of the easiest geckos to keep and breed I’d say, Would have loved australia :lol: can be quick and some get a bit snappy, but they usually calm down after a few weeks.

 

[pugsly]

Nice.

Well unfortunately he is probably getting the gas chamber for his trouble..

Ohwell.. quarentine is quarentine..

 

[haz1111]

Thanks guys, appreciate your help.
I'm still a little sad that they are going to kill him though.

 

[Moreliaman]

Haz can i ask where you found it ? was it outside or inside a conatiner ?

 

[haz1111]

It was inside a container I believe, one of our yard staff found it.

 

[Moreliaman]

Cool....could have been worse finding it crawling around on the outside !!

 

[haz1111]

Yeah thats true, it's a little strange, the container came to Australia from Italy...... so he must've had quite a ride

 

[Moreliaman]

Yeah he's a bit on the thin side, wonder how long its been in there?

 

[MoreliaMatt]

could have made a few stops around the world before being found here!

 

[mattmc]

i will prayer that that lizard goes to gecko heaven because i doubt that it will be alive after the next week.
