WEEK 33!!! 19 left after this one! This week I'm presenting you with a primitive specie of gecko the Aeluroscalabotes felinus/dorsalis a.k.a. the cat gecko





Well, these are some interesting creatures right here, that's for sure. These animals come from several different areas including, but possibly not limited to Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Borneo, Thailand, and I believe Cambodia as well. This being the case there are several phenotypical variances between the animals from certain locales and there is also some talk about this specie being separated into several rather than just the one, but I am no expert on scientific nomenclature so let's just move on with all that here-say as it is neither here nor there. Right here, right now, we are concentrating on some broad, and general info on the species, and more importantly, yes indeed, you guessed it, some pictures.  Well, from the little I know of these geckos, there are a few variations in the size of the animal, as well as the pattern, and the eye color.  The two that command respect and special recognition are the rare Johor silver eyed, and an animal which is a bit larger than the average cat geckos, the Borneo green eyed variety. All of these animals are very unique, not only in their appearance (prehensile, curled tails, the way they sleep like a house cat, and their retractable claws) but in their slow movements, and their behavior in general. They are for me a cool little project that I am always looking to learn more on and for that reason they are here on the countdown....enjoy the pics!!!
