WEEK 41, only a few months left of this...This week is the helmeted gecko aka Geckonia chazaliae!!!

So these beauties are really cool little geckos coming from the coastal areas of Morocco and parts of Senegal. The helmeted geckos as they are commonly referred to are very interesting and curious looking animals that have a ridge which almost resembles a triceratops somewhat in my eyes. These guys grow to be about 3.5-4 inches, and that is from the tip of their nose to the tip of the tail, not SVL. They are easily cared for with a sand substrate and a few hides with hot spot temps around 90. Their native coastal environment is known to be quite humid, even though Morocco is typically a dry desert environment. These geckos eagerly devour small insects of many varieties, and they are completely terrestrial in nature and have no toe pads for climbing vertical surfaces. A new addition to Raw doggie family, I find that these geckos have a special appeal to me for some reason? Perhaps it is that they are such good eaters and they are very bulky which is attractive, but they emit a good hora, and their vibes are truly positive and uplifting. lol Here are some pics......
