Here is an example of Cyrtodactylus pulchellus from Krabi, Thailand. It is much more beautiful at night time in its native habitat when it exhibits dark brown and light tan bands. My last night out, I did not take the camera along and we came across many of this species. The tail is regenerated. Original tails also have banding.

he's gorgeous. his feet are odd, but they look like they're supposed to be like that and they are pretty cool besides.

Michael,

I would love to get more photos of the native Cyrtodactylus species you might photograph, and where you found them. I am currently working with 6 Cyrtodactylus species, and would very much like to have more information from the source.

You can reach me at sales@wildeyereptiles.com

Here are a few of my C. pulchellus:




I am most interested in Cyrtodactylus consobrinus information.

Very nice looking Cyrtodactylus that you have. The last picture is the colour they were displaying in when I saw them at night in the field. The ones of that I have come across from that genus are pretty feisty in the field and VERY fast when they make a run for it. Do they calm down in captivity?
Michael

Sorry Phoenix Gate, did not see your reply. Yes, the toes are supposed to be like that. The German name for the gecko is 'Malayan Arch-fingered Gecko' (Malaiischer Bogenfingergecko). They are outstanding climbers, considering their lack of lamellae. The only thing wrong with the specimen pictured is a regenerated tail (originals are banded like all but one of Leah's) and the snout was rubbed a little raw in the collection bag.

Michael,

It seems to me that males are very feisty and like to bite, while females are calmer. I can handle three of my females with out much problem, and most of the babies are calm also, the males bite every time though.
