Hi. Haemodracon-species belong to a group of oldworld-geckos formerly known as Phyllodactylus. Nowadays only newworls-species still bear this name. The other ones are called: Goggia (SouthAfrica) Haemodracon (Sokotra-Island) Euleptes (Mediterranean) Dixonius (SE-Asia) Cryptactites (S-Africa) Afrogecko (S-Africa) You can read about this in Aaron M.Bauer, FDavid A. Good & William R.Branch:The TAxonomy of southern african leaf-toed geckos with a review of old world Phyllodactylus and the description of five new genera. Proceedings of the California Academyx of Sciences. Vol. 49, No. 14, pp.447-497. 1997. As far as I know we got an institute in germany keeping at least one of the two Haemodracon-sp. I don`t know of any animals in private enclosures. Greetings from Hamburg Sven Vogler --
