WEEK 45, lemme pull out this .45 ACP and blast at will! This week we got the hot Paroedura androyensis!

Another beauty from Madagascar and the 2nd Paroedura on the countdown, these animals just have some awesome character. Preferring the environment on the warmer and dryer side these animals simply are beautiful and eat wonderfully! No force feedings needed here folks, these are not picky eaters Accompanied by beautiful patterns that vary significantly from animal to animal, they have some really cool tail action, especially when they have been fed. They wave their tails around real slowly which I believe is to distract the prey so that they can lunge and dis-orient the insects. Here are a few pics:

WEEK 44!!!! Got my .44 mag out!!! 8 more, let's go! This week=Chondrodactylus angulifer!

This gecko is another gecko from the Western Africa and it overlaps it's territory with previous countdown species such as the Ptenopus, Colopus, and the Pachydactylus rugosus. This beautiful gecko pictures can vary considerably in color and shading depending on locality, and there is known to be a larger subspecies (Chondrodactylus angulifer namibiensis). The pictured animals are from the locale of Little Karoo, and tend to have darker coloring/blotching than the more typical reddish varieties. They are all very very cool. They are a very bulky framed gecko that can definitely hold it's own and doesn't seem to have any problem beasting crickets or other small invertebrates shamelessly. This gluttonous savage is not shy when it comes to eating which is a characteristic I relish in an animal. Enjoy!

WEEK 43!!! Only 9 weeks more to go, damn....Time is flying by!!! This week I'm repping the Asaccus genus including the gallagheri.....

There's just no common name for these geckos right here, but seriously they are just crazy looking! Somewhat like a C. elok, but more colorful, and these geckos are from Morocco. I really don't know all that much about these geckos nor do I personally keep any, these pictures were taken and their use has been authorized by Jon Boone (www.jonboone.com <----excellent reference page for an immense number of gecko species!) Perhaps one day these animals will be in my care mmmuuhhaaahaahahaha. lol Here are some pics of an extraordinary genus including the gallagheri, caudivoluvus, and platyrhynchus.
