Cave gecko addiction (Goniurosaurus)
hey everyone, im normally a snake/boa guy but recently i've become more and more interested in cave geckos and their subspecies.
It started with a single Hainan cave gecko (G.Hainanensis) and shes been producing eggs, 5 eggs since april. This spurred me on to find her a mate, which i hope i did today, as i've just got a young G.Hainanensis (too young to sex).. fingers crossed.
They're a great species (with 13 sub species) to keep although very shy and don't really do well with handling.
Here is a few pics of my adult female and young unsexed Hainan cave gecko (adult female is the lighter one)

Re: Cave gecko addiction (Goniurosaurus)
My personal experience is with the G. Luii
Very cool geckos that aren't seen often anymore. Well done with those!

Re: Cave gecko addiction (Goniurosaurus)
Smy, theyre all cave geckos. The top 2 light n dark are the same sub species... They lighten up with age.
The G.luii is a separate sub species..

Cheers mate, I got a Luii too  . Yes they are very cool.. So entertaining to watch and quite ferocious in their feeding for such a small gecko.

Re: Cave gecko addiction (Goniurosaurus)
Unfortunately my new Hainan died.. The breeders have refunded me the money but I'm still gutted. He was a cute little guy and I set him up exactly the same as my adult female. They blamed it on stress :-/

He seemed a bit on the skinny side from the pics you provided no? Same thing happened to one of my neph amyae. Shipping can suck sometimes
