pictures of wild gold dust day geckos on the big island of Hawaii.

How beautiful is that?! They may be one of the most accessible, but are also one of the more beautifully colored as well. My w/c female has such a cool personality. She will actually lap up fruit mix from my or my daughter's finger tip. The cool thing about those Hawaiian wild caughts, as I have heard, is that there are no restrictions for exporting out of Hawaii. However, I am not sure how customs on this side goes. Does anyone here have any factual information on this?

I checked with the Hawaiian Department of Agriculture while I was on vacation in Hawaii. They stated it is illegal to breed and keep all introduced reptiles in Hawaii and they should be left alone. But I did not ask if it is legal to capture and export them to a different state. Any case I was not looking to capture them for export, I only wanted a few pictures for posterity.
