Week 3, reigning from Madagascar is the Giant Day Gecko (phelsuma madagascariensis grandis). Only here some of the rawest of the raw.....

The giant day gecko, a diurnal gecko which has been sighted in areas of the US as well as other tropical areas, is arboreal, and has been introduced into these non-native lands by the homo sapien species.

Week 2 !!! Rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus trachyrhynchus!



The Infamous Greater Rhacodactylus Trachyrhynchus trachyrhynchus a.k.a the greater rough snouted gecko!!! This is one of the rarest geckos in captivity, it is native to New Caledonia, and is unique in that it is one of a few gecko species to bear live young! Special thanks to Steve Cemelli (leapin' leachies) for the pics of these animals they are truly special geckos.  This gecko is slightly different from it's close relative the lesser rough snouted gecko the Rhacodacylus Trachyrhynchus trachycephalus which is also an awesome gecko and will most likely be part of the furture countdown!!! So stay tuned...  Join the blog and leave some feedback, and please check out our sponsors....til next week........
