Hey
I have been looking for pictures of them in their wild habitat online for a while but had no luck.
When I keep a pet I like to design the tank to closely resemble their real habitat, so if anyone have any pictures of not only the environment they live in, but their actual hides would be awesome.

thanks in advance.

hi thanks for the link, but I highly suspect it's from a terrarium.

You're not too likely to find many pictures of their natural habitat because there aren't too many people photographing that part of the world short of, perhaps, military lenses...

"The Eyelash Geckos" is a great book that covers the natural history (and many captive care details) of all eublipharid geckos and includes pretty good, locality-specific biotope pictures of many species in the family. Several biotope pictures are provided for species in the E. macularius complex. The pictures are landscape scale, so you won't see any closeups. This is of little consequence, since the macularius complex is so wide-ranging that wide shots and closeups alike will not cover all the bases.

The book, last I saw, was cheapest via the BeanFarm, but Amazon also has it. It's not cheap, but is well worth the price from either outlet.

Thanks for the reply, at its price it's unlikely I will be able to get a hold of a copy, pity, I checked the local library already.
I believe them being introduced to North America early is also another factor why not many pictures of them in their natural habitat are available, simply because it's not necessary with them being easy pets.

I'm not so sure that pic is from a terrariom. That leo looks by its body condition like its had a rough life (read: no ready human-provided food supply). I agree there are not too many pics out there of leos in the wild, but there is lots of info in print and online about the type of environment and microenvironment these guys are from. Not all of it accurate, but you should be able to get a good idea. Also, maybe you could find a zoo with a few specimens, they could tell you about what they have done to create a close to wild environment.
