Show us your Marms

[spongebob]

There's a lot of variation in Marbled Velvet Geckos (Oedura marmorata) "marms".

I'd be interested in seeing what's about and who's breeding, so please add to this thread.

I'll start with mine. There are supposed to be from an area round 200kms south of Broome. I've got a few and these are my best coloured adults and 3 month old young.

Firstly the male

and the female

both together

young

Please add

Marmorata

Bob. Here is some of mine i have left. Had to severely down size since the last time we spoke. Longreach, Alice, Western QLD and Lightning Ridge were some of the casualties.
The NT Fat Tail Goes from purple to black depending on mood.
Interesting to see what the WA light and dark pair will throw.
Have a Light WA male that is due for a shed.

The high yellows look sensational Bob. Like to see the 3mo in 6 months.

Thanks for the comments.

Jason here's a picture of one of the biggest females. Just over 20cm total length. All of them like to give a little nip, but I've never had one that bites hard. This one shows a really fat tail, which develops a cleft in the middle as the two fat storage areas on each side fill up. This is really pronounced in the NT fat tails

and this is one month old youngster. They start on medium sizes criclets and after a month or so can easily manage adult crickets

Keep the pictures coming. I'd love to see some more of the fat tails

20cm...that a good size animal, esp looking so good. I might have to call over for a look...

 

[warren63]

Here is one of my NT locale marmoratas, this pair is about 15cms each but you wouldnt know as they dont like to be seen
