WEEK 46!!!! Breaking 4K on page views, this week brings in a whole new genus and gecko: Rhoptropus boultoni!!!!
Endemic to the Southern parts of Africa including Namibia, and Angola Boulton's namib day gecko is not your 'ordinary' malagasy day gecko. These animals are commonly found absorbing heat on rock outcrops, and I have noticed that they really like the hot temperatures as they like to congregate under my spotlight which can easily get to 100F. They are arboreal in nature, and are not commonly seen in the hobby, but I could see that changing as they are an interesting captive. Here are a few pics. I apologize for taking longer than usual to update the species on this page, and therefore will have a few species in rapid succession to catch myself up :D Oli
