One of the new additions to the family...so cute I can almost forgive it for not being an amphibian

Very nice! I have a trio and they very amusing to watch. Good luck with yours!

I recently had a pair move into my house as well. I love to watch their little pink tongues lap things up.

Great shot as usual!

what is a fair/normal price for these? Saw some at a LFS and thought $80 was a bit steep, even though they are gorgeous!

They were over $1200 a pair as fresh imports about 18 months back!
Now about $80-$100 a pair for W.C. seems the norm.

Once I get enough F1's to replace my breeders, expect those in surplus to be priced accordingly. Most Lygodactylus aren't easy to rear...

Exceptional photos Lee! They are beauts for sure. Wanna come photograph my entire gecko collection?

Yeah $80 to $100 is what I've seen recently too.

I'd love to Harold

Hopefully we won't love them all into extinction in the wild.

You should be able to find wc from around 60$ now....i Got mine from Marc Lucas on Kingsnake, and had no trouble, he was very upfront about everything and made me a good deal.

wouldnt pay more then $80 unless its a long term captive and sexed and you just absolutely must have that particular one for some reason. I think you'll see alot of CB coming onto the market soon as i myself have gotten my first 2 hatchlings and have 6 more eggs cooking, and whatever is in the viv i havent found yet.

They seem to be prolific lil guys...and they are great to keep. Would make excellent companions for darts if you're ok with mixing like that, such as with klemmeri and other phelsuma, or small anoles.

These guys are such prolific breeders it would be nice to see the cb out compete the wc in price.

I've seen them in an LFS for $70-80 and on craigslist for $60-70.
