My new Blue geckos...Lygodactylus williamsi

Got these last week, 2 boys, 4 girls, supposedly, but i think its 3.3 actually not sure though. Hopefully they'll breed. And they should color up a lil more also especially the males as i was given younger ones since the older ones the guy had were beat up from fighting. i think one female is gravid atleast. Got 3 in my 30 gal petco sale cube i've been fiddling with for the last year. 3 more in a 75. Oh and Echo decided to pose for a pic also

i believe that is a fennic fox....btw how is that for a pet? i have been told that they are not very reliable in a litter box.

thx guys....

Yep thats a fennec...great animals, somewhat of a pain though

Personality wise very much a cross between a cat and dog. worth it if u ask me....not easy to potty train...people tend to have 50/50 success from what i understand. They will pick a few spots to go in and stick to them for the most part though. i am not one of the fortunate 50% i had to move her a couple times and had other obligations at the time. she became available sooner then expected.

Definately hoping for eggs. I'd definately snatch these up, i think some more are coming in from my source soon, but as this is one of the first times imported its unsure how long they'll be available. Be nice if they got established in the hobby in just a few importations, that way they dont have to be wild caught anymore.

I dont think it will be as big of a deal. They happen to be super productive and super easy to breed, and a lot of people are having much success with them. There are already first and most likely second generation williamsi out there by now in the US.

Are they a species of Day Gecko? They are gorgeous.
