cute gecko, is it a good handler? dayurnal/nocturnal?

some enclosure shots wouldn't go amiss.

You learn something new everyday on APS. I didnt realise they were the same gecko with two different names.
I nearly bought a pair of these guys off Roy Pails a way back, but he only had males and I wanted a pair.

Great pics and beautiful Geckos.

Thanks tourett, yeh i always called them tryons geckos as did many others years ago as they are tryoni,apparently its too difficult and non descriptive for the powers that be like stimsons python for stimsoni. I think that one is a large blotced python :roll: Yep they are nice geckos with great color and good size that seem to get along well with a male and harem of girls :wink:

Haha! mine hate being restrained , I had one death roll my finger once to show it's distaste. I only secure them if needed, other wise I let them sit in the palm of my open hand, I just have to make sure I have my other hand infront of it as they will jump. They are a pleasure to keep, great to watch em hunt

Pike, you don't have spare girls do you?

re Tryons

Slackra i think Dicco has them summed up when he says they can give you a nip then do a crocodile roll LOL They dont like being picked up,they are pint sized bruce lees that wish they were bigger so they could bite like a tokay gecko.Diccos says he loves to watch them hunt and so do i,they really hammer the big crix ferociously.
