I just acquired this juvenile Strophurus williamsi at the November 5th Herp Expo at Pasadena, California. I've kept S.ciliaris & S.taenicauda in the past, and REALLY like this genus......(although I can't think of a gecko genus I don't like!!). Although a nocturnal species, he will bask for short periods under a 2.0 UVB exoterra bulb, very cryptic color and posture when he's on his thin twigs - sometimes takes a little while to locate him in his enclosure....
Next up is a pic of my young male Nephrurus wheeleri cinctus: another wonderful aussie species! My guy is rarely observable during the day, but I sometimes see him early in the morning (while it is still dark). A great, non-fussy feeder, I love the unusual habit this species has of covering their back with sand (by "windmilling" their front legs while laying on their belly).
Last up is a pic of my juvenile male Eurydactylodes agricolae. I have wanted a member of this genus since I first saw a photo of E.symmetricus in Henkel's 1995 gecko book. Truly a unique gecko among an already unique family! I got him back in late September and he has already noticeably grown on a mixed diet of fruit flies, small roaches, small crickets, and CGD. He also basks for short periods under his 2.0 UVB exoterra bulb, and his colors usually are more pronounced when he does so...
