Bow-fingered Gecko (Cyrtodactylus mamanwa)

[Tongue Flicker]

Hey guys it's me again.. You still remember my drunken snake dealer? The one who brought a bag of vipers, literally? Well lucky for me he hasn't forgotten about me during my 4-month absence.

He had a deal someplace nearby so he decided to drop-by my new petplace and give me a welcome home gift, 2 pairs of a first generation captive-bred Bow-fingered gecko, Cyrtodactylus mamanwa.

At first I wasn't really impressed by them or the fact that they look like my normal house geckos, but a week later they've already won my heart. I only kept a pair since I wasn't really confident about my Gecko Mastery just yet and the other pair I shipped off to a friend in Croydon somewhere in England.

Hydrating in warm water, a little coconut juice & a little honey..

Inside their quarantine enclosure. First day, first dinner (female had obvious unshed skin left -__-)

What my pair looks like a week after they first arrived. Showing off their normal male/female coloration. I can't believe they were doing a courtship chase on my hand while I'm taking pictures. Guess they don't mind doing it in public -__-

Stunning male coloration.. Nuff said..

Start your weekend right!

Those are good looking geckos. Are those adult size? Are they native to your area?

No and no. My dealer said its parents were from southeast asia and he bred those during December of last year. They should grow 2 to 3 inches more, I think. They're about 7 inches now, will try to get a more accurate length

Cool geckos and I would love a bag of vipers, or better yet a bag of yellow or red Naja arabica .

I'm not familiar with your location. Are you in Indonesia somewhere?

Had a juvenile N.samarensis last week!! Too bad I don't do actively venomous snakes anymore.. Shipped it to a friend in Poland

How do you ship these snakes around? If you ever get an N.arabica through this guy, I would be very interested.

I have a friend who owns a shipping company and a friend from inside our customs bureau. Pretty much the shady side of things lol.. I do need a permit for the animal though which i get thru legal and often tedious means. Hmm unfortunately my dealer only offers animals that're native to northern Borneo and the Philippines as he is a catch, breed then release type of guy to sustain wild populations

Dear lord, i heard them make a sound for the first time. Nothing like any tokay or house gecko sound I've heard -__-
