some exotic geckos - du no no

[peterescue]

just an opinion peter..

I dont think it was Jonathon. I thought it was a gee up myself and detracted from some superb photos. I saw the comment as the main focus of the post. Forgive me if I am wrong.
I reiterate, superb photos.

I took it to mean how can some people call exotics rubbish when they look like this ?

Oh well the answer to that is simple, some people like exotics and some dont, some people like exotics when they are in exotic places but see them as rubbish when they are brought here illegaly. It's really a matter of opinion and we cant have them anyway so love them all you like but tough luck you aint gettin one LMAO.

Oh yeah nice gecko's basketcase.

 

[Possum]

Thats the point, no one did. It invited someone to argue the point.

I think you might have missed the point of the post, a little while ago someone (I can't recall who) referred to exotic reptiles as rubbish in another thread and my guess would be that's what it was in reference to.

Just to show off a bit as usual I will tell you which geckos those are. The first greyish one is Rhacodactylus auriculats or gargoyle gecko, from new caledonia. The second I have seen in Madagascar and is Uroplatus phantasticus, small but very specialised geckos. And yes the infamous Crested gecko or Rhacodactylus ciliatus, people can always say they hate exotics when they have never handled or seen these beautiful animals. I think Australian Herpetoculture is missing out on not being able to keep some of these beautiful species. Just my opinion of course.

exactly boa, i shouldve been more specific, and for that i apologise.

i just dont like it when i see people commenting on subjects they have no experience in. in my experience most of the people who discredit exotics herps have absolutely zero experience with them. so as someone who has kept, caught and studied some of the amazing herp life other parts of the world have to offer it blows my mind.

Aghhhhhhhahghghghgh...stop it stop it...or I might be forced to move to New Zealand!!! Seriously, amazing geckos. I'd give a limb (at least one) to be able to keep the NZ species.
