WEEK 40, only 12 more left after this one! This week is the Rhacodactylus chahoua!
















Another New Caledonian gecko that has become very popular as of the last several year, this gecko in captivity either reigns from the Mainland or from the Pine Island. Pictured are animals from the Pine Island since they are in my opinion more impressive color and pattern wise. Their mossy and lichen pattern effectively disguises them in their native forests. These arboreal predators also consume fruit and nectars and grow to be relatively large and as the genus states are closely related to some of the other popular New Caledonian geckos such as the leachianus, crested gecko, sarasinorum, trachy's, and auriculatus. Here are a few pics of some choice animals from the Leapin' Leachies lineages.....
