OK, so here we go again with the species of the week. And this week after much inquiry and speculation I have nominated the Malaysian Bent-toe gecko as an appropriate candidate to add to the list. This gecko is quite rare in the wild, and also in captivity. The animals in captivity are mostly imports, yet there are a few individuals that have had success in producing some F1 animals and this is really what we need to push for. These geckos are just incredible looking! Their tail is so cool, and their eyes, and pattern are just amazing! A truly voracious predator that likes to predate either in the decaying leaf matter or up on some wood. It is very interesting how they can cling to the glass of their tanks despite having claws, but they must have toe pads (lamellae) as well. A lot more research needs to be done with this species, and therefore I am trying to raise awareness of these amazing beings here on the RDR blog. Enjoy.....
