italvital Mar 21, 2004 02:13 AM

Does anyone in the U.S. have any "attractive," healthy, H.turcicus ssp. they can sex and are willing to sell/trade? I have been looking to acquire some, but most dealers will not even sex them.
Thanks,
Ashton

I check the local shops' house gecko mixtures regulary. For around two years they have generally had about 73% Cosymbotus platyurus 17% Hemidactylus frenatus, 2% Hemidactylus mabouia and 8% Gehyra mutilata. Have plenty of those... I must be checking all of the wrong days, but then again, I am the only one who apparently buys their house geckos. I basically know each gecko, in the shops, on a personal level.
Thanks anyways,
Ashton

Do you have pictures of your all the species of house geckos you own?If so...............can you show me a picture of them because I had a "house gecko" before and would like to know what species it was.
