Rob at Global Exotic Pets in Waterloo Ontario (http://globalexoticpets.com/) has a breeding group of frog eyes, but I'm not sure if it's the scincus, he might have Teratoscincus roborowskii. Aren't Teratoscincus microlepis called Wonder Geckos?

I have a breeding group of 1.3 Teratoscincus scincus scincus.
(I just got the male, so it will probably be sometime.)

I think Wonder gecko and Frog Eyed gecko are equivalent umbrella names pertaining to the entire Teratscincus genus...

What's with the common names... oy.

I got them from people who live in toronto, which are private breeders. I don't remember them all. The most recent addition is from Teresa aka Tarzet.

Here's a picture of the male she sold me. He is in excellent condition. Took me very long to find him.

They are difficult to come by. If you have no luck. You can wait a lttile. I may have offspring late in the fall. PM me if you would like.

Best of luck :)

For the male, i paid $90CAN. The other 3 females cost $75-100CAN. (this was last year's price). However, at a local Superpet store, i saw one frog eyed gecko marked down to $25. Original price was $39.99.

The average price is $103.8 +/- 43 CAN. That's means, you may get a great deal....or a pretty bad one.
