WEEK 50!!!! 2 more to go! This week: Woodworthia brunneus!!!













Another live bearing reptile on the database of awesomeness, this gecko, like animals in the Naultinus genus are endemic to New Zealand. Commonly known as the Canterbury gecko, these amazing creatures were once categorized as a Hopolodactylus and subsequently re-classified into the Woodworthia genus. These animals pictured were photographed by Jon Boone (http://www.jonboone.com/), and hopefully in the preferrably not so distant future will have some in my care =) It would appear that the females pictured are quite gravid (or just extremely obese), and it would be nice to see some offspring from these devilish beauties in due time! Well, stay tuned for two more hard hitting herps in the weeks to come!!! Enjoy.....
