WEEK 37, this week we're reppin' the Chinese cave gecko aka Goniurosaurus orientalis
















HeYO! What's up ladies and gentlemen, gentlemen and ladies?! So I figured I'd spice up this week with some more colorful schematics in regards to the luxurious Tokashiki or Tonaki Ground Gecko (also falsely referred to as the 'chinese leopard gecko') as this gecko is just one that jumps right out at you in regards to pattern and vivid coloration. This species is known to inhabit only 4 small islands off the coast of Japan, and they are just one of several species in this genus. Enjoying a damp, cool climate these geckos can be easily housed and kept without the need for additional heat sources as they loathe the heat and prefer a room temperature like climate. These are another type of gecko with eye-lids so they don't have to sleep with their eyes open ;) Much respect and thanks to Bruce Daniels for the pictures of his amazing animals, hopefully i will be adding them to my collection soon!
