White plains yesterday
Decided to do a big trade and drove down to white plains to meet up. Got to hang out with the leapin leachies guys for the day and act like a vendor too, haha.
I picked up 1.1 Pachydactylus vanzylii, pretty rare in collections, I don't know many people with them and there is only like 2 pictures on google images lol They have back webbed feet and are very small species, I just don't have any pictures yet haha
I also picked up a few 'fillers' because the trade was like 500 dollars short on his end. He gave me one of his adult trios of tokays, the male is the biggest tokay I've ever seen, the size of a large leachianus. I also grabbed two of the babies they produced, which I probably won't keep. Anddddd 0.14 mourning geckos. 11 Babies and 3 adults with eggs in some of them. All the babies are kept together and its pretty fun to watch them haha.
Also managed to upgrade my ghetto rack with heat tape instead of heat pads.
Desert species on top, tropical in the middle, feeders on the bottom lol

Re: White plains yesterday
I dont want to steal pics from the guy I bought them from, and hes really the only one who has any pics posted on the internet haha. Mine fit on the top of a quarter, so they are pretty small and I don't want to disturb them till they come out tonight. And I'm afraid of the tokay geckos, so I'm not reaching my hand in their to find one to snap a shot of hahahaha

Re: White plains yesterday
Here, I took one of the male tokay. The tail is regen, and even with a shorter regen tail, hes a monster. I'm not going to try to put something next to him for a size reference though haha. The cage looks pretty ghetto, but it'll do the job for now and is really big.

When I put them in the cage, I took the tape off the deli dishs and cracked them open, Then I just shut the cage and let them get out on their own lol He gaped his mouth open for the entire ride home. Barked at me when I took the tape off too

Re: White plains yesterday
I just used a standard sheet of print paper, starting at the knot in the wood to that last whole and it fit perfectly. So I guess hes around 11 inches. Smaller than I expected haha

I take it you don't have any experience with tokays. They are satans body guard. I've never seen a calm one. They make a barking sound To-Kay and jump and try and bite. I've not checked but I'm sure YouTube would give you an idea of what we're on about.
