Re: A.felinus (Malaysian cat geckos)

They're the only gecko with retractable claws.. Hence the name "cat gecko"... They also curl up like a cat and cover their head with their tails...

20-27c and 75-85% humidity... Yes I plan to switch to live plants at some point but just getting them settled and eating well before I think of changing anything..

So worried about doing something wrong with these guys. :-/

Really cool - first time I've seen them. They really look healthy too!

Re: A.felinus (Malaysian cat geckos)

DUDE! BAD ***!

I've had a few pairs and trios over the years. Have to be one of my top 3 favourite gecko species out there. (Naultinus would be number 1 I think)

Let me know how they do! I will be VERY interested in hearing about any breeding going on. No one, and I mean no one in the past decade (that I know of) has produced them on a regular and consistent basis from the same pairs.

I have begun believing that they tend to pair off and any eggs produced have just been random.

The other theory I have is that they require far more room than we give them for such small geckos.

Before I make this any longer feel free to bother me about them and I can put you in touch with one or two others who have worked with them.

Re: A.felinus (Malaysian cat geckos)

The woman i got them off produces a few every year but obviously I don't know whether she's using the same pairs to do so...

Aaron I probably will bug you at some point as reliable info for these is few n far between. Shoot me a pm if you get chance
