very nice Lars, wonder how they'd look under a black light
 
wow they look bloody beautiful

now i need an appointment at the Doc's to get my jaw re alligned after i get it off the floor lol
 
they are the most beautiful gecko i have seen yet!! i sooo want some, will you be breeding them?
 
are they easy to breed and do they breed in big numbers? just wondering why the prices dropped so much
 
WOW they are sweet! they are absolutely beautiful animals!
 
Thanks for the nice comments everyone!!! :)


I was so impressed by the Phelsumas when I first saw them in the flesh, but those things are possibly even better!

Yes, you're right Sdaji! ;)

I've kept many different Phelsuma species and really colourful species like
the P. cepediana, P. guimbeaui, P. ornata, P. klemmeri etc.

They are all very impressive and beautiful geckos, but none of the Phelsuma
species is comparable with the colouration of the Electric Blue Gecko males. :)

The only Phelsuma species which has a similar behavior like the Lygodactylus williamsi
(not shy at all/ very curious) is the Phelsuma klemmeri.

How big do they grow?

They are a small gecko species and the males can reach a size of 8 cm.

will you be breeding them?

Yes, I'll try my best.
But at first I have to fatten up the female, though she was the only one which wasn't too thin and
some specimens looked very emaciated and dehydrated.

As this species only lives in a small conservation area in Tansania, it should be the
major goal to breed this gecko species.
Furthermore this species was threatened by habitat loss (deforestation).

are they easy to breed and do they breed in big numbers?

As far as I know they aren't too hard to breed and they lay monthly eggs
during the breeding season.

But there are still only a few captive-bred ones available and the most are wild caughts .

just wondering why the prices dropped so much

That's what I was wondering too as there aren't so many cb ones available and
there weren't new imports (or only small numbers) recently.
 
I think that is one of the coolest lizards i have ever seen!
 
Stunning photos and great info Lars. How many herps do you have?! I hope you can get them in good condition and breeding. You are a credit to the hobby (or should I say obsession?).
 
Thanks everyone! :)

Thanks! :)

I keep 24 frog species, 16 gecko species, 3 BTS's, 4 lizards (Collared lizards, Uromastyx lizards), 2 Bredlis, 2 Jungles and 2 Grey-Banded Kingsnakes.

I don't know the total number of all species at the moment.
 
what happens when you get caught with illegaly imported geckos?
is it a few years in jail?
or a heavy fine?
or a slap on the rist?


Will

P.S.
i'm not planning anything:D
 
They look great mate. My favourite colour is blue so you have my thumbs up with them.
