Help! Gecko ID needed!

[Dark_Angel_x322]

Hello! so my mom bought me a gecko, now I am trying to find out what it is...

Any suggestions?

Gecko 02 (http://gallery.****************/index.pl?photo=80793)

Any help would be appreciated!

I keep getting a bad gateway.

Maybe you should put the pics in your gallery here and put up the link.

Let me know if these work

[Dragon_Slave]

Yes, those work... hmm... I have no idea what kind of gecko that is... I'll do some research and get back to ya.

They are morning geckos I my be wrong on the sub species but they're deffinatly a Lepidodactlytus species. Check em out I am sure you can match yours up. BTW most of that species are all females, not needing males to reproduce.

Ok thanks! I have some better pictures today that may help too.

Gecko 05 (http://www.ssnakess.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=8892&papass=&sort=1&thecat=511)

Still think its a mourning gecko?

I have been looking it up and if it is Lepidodactylus the only pictures I can find are Lepidodactylus lugubris which is the Mourning gecko.

Thanks so much for your help and input!

Looks like a marble gecko to me. How big is it?

[HQReptiles]

Looked up the latin name and I'm fairly sure that the gecko pictured is a Marble Gecko

Christinus guentheri
or
Christinus marmoratus

Matt.

[Youkai]

Looks like either Gekko grossmanni or G. petricolus to me...

[Dark_Angel_x322]

It is about 4" or 10cm STV and total STL is about 7-8".

Thanks for helping!

[Dark_Angel_x322]

Well I called the petco and the guy I talked to said the reason they are in the assorted gecko cage is because they are usually hybrids. He said it was most likely a marble gecko hybrid... but he wasn't sure. So I guess I will use the marble gecko care sheet....

thanks for your help!

hi there. looks like the species is Phyllopezus.p.przewalskii.
I have a 2.2 breeding group of them. Not very prolific, and the eggs take a gazzillion years to hatch. Hope this helpshttp://www.ssnakess.com/photopost/data/500/66phyllopezus.jpg

[Dark_Angel_x322]

that sure looks like her... does it have the "sticky" feet? i can't tell from the picture. Is there a way to tell male & female easily?

Thanks soo much!

[Dark_Angel_x322]

Also what is the common name for these guys? I am having trouble finding info.

thanks again!

[beth wallbank]

I do not know the common name, as I believe that I am one of the only people in Canada with a true proven group. They do have 'sticky' feet, more like a Vorax than a crested though, with well shown claws, that have been seen used for digging, forraging, etc,.....They are sexable much like other arborial geckos, with the males having hemipenal bulges and a noticable V above the vent. The females are like day geckos in appearance when sexed. Hope this helps.
By the way, how old is your little guy?

[beth wallbank]

Just took this picture of two of my geckos. As you can see, they do have claws that are quite noticable, but can climb glass as well as any other arborial. They are quite flighty and shy, as well as thin tearable skin as do day geckos, so take heed when handling.

you have helped a lot... out of all the suggestions yours seems the closest. Angel (as it has been named) does have claws as well, but they don't seem quite as long and it seems to be missing half of 2 toes on it front right foot but it still has some sticky pad left.
I am not sure how old it is... I have had it less than a week. It is about 7"-8" long at most (stl). Angel does seem flighty and shy as well, but that could also be that it hasn't settled in yet (still won't eat).
What conditions do you keep yours in since it seems there is not much info on the web? Also what do you feed them? I need to get more crickets and I am wondering if it will eat the large ones or if the 3 week ones are a better choice. Also are superworms ok for it? It seems to ignore the small mealworms I left in its bowl and I was thinking about trying the supers for my baby water dragon.

And your little ones are very cute! :)

Thanks again so much for your help! If my question get to be too much let me know!

[beth wallbank]

I have found that they are more soft fruit eaters than anything else. Mine enjoy papaya, mangos, peaches, melon, berries, all mashed, or jarred baby food works well too. I do feed the odd crix, but they stay forever in the tank and I usually have to remove some. I keep the in the same type of decor cage settings as a crested, but a bit dryer in humidity. I have an undertank heat source, and small Repti bulp for heat and light over head.
Hope this helps.

[Dark_Angel_x322]

Very much, thanks! So humidty about 50-70% and temps 70 - 85 degrees? I have tried peach baby food with extra calcium added without much success... I drip a little on its nose though and it licks it off but it doesn't do it for long, I am lucky if it licks a drop or 3 off. Do you think I should try some whole mashed fruit first? Maybe bananas? It hasn't eaten since Wedesday when I got it... Its been "rooming" with 2 large crickets for 2 days now but since you say they eat mostly fruit I guess I will remove them.
