WEEK 29!!! Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukkah, Happy Kwanza!!!! This week is the week of the Namibian web-footed gecko ie.Pachydactylus vanzyli











OK, so now I'm hypin' up the countdown with a specie from Africa, the second Pachy of the countdown in fact! This gecko is an inhabitant of the Skeleton Coast of Africa where it lives it's life in a desolate and harsh environment far from any civilization of man. This gecko must endure the extremes; from very hot to very cold in a matter of hours! It closely resembles the Pachydactylus rangei, but lacks the webbing on it's front legs and is much more uncommon in the hobby. These geckos were once called Palmato geckos, now being re-classified in the genus Pachydactylus, enjoy the pics and have a safe holiday!!!
