Hi Ingo. :o) How's you book coming along? I'm looking forward to when it's finished. :o) Will there be an English version?
I breed tockays regularly but not on a large scale since I can't sell much babies. I think I sold around 10-12 hatchlings last year. I'm working on my f3 generation now, hopefully I can find a CB female to breed with my holdback from last season.. In Norway, or maybe even in Scandinavia in general there are very few breeders of the species. Most ppl keep single animals or keep pairs on too small enclosures for them to start breeding. I have a feeling that G. vittatus and G. ulikovskii are bred in some small extent but with the others it's very hard to find CB animals. At Terraristika Hamm 2 weeks ago I found only 4-5 tockays (all WC), 6-8? G. vittatus (half of them CB) and I remember seeing some few G. ulikovskii CB animals but very few, there were some few WC animals of the same species also. On a side note, I don't know if you're still looking for pictures but my Ex made a nice drawing of a tockay, I can rescan it for you if you're interested. regards obeligz msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] )/_ _.--..---"-,--c_ \L..' ._O__)_ ,-. _.+ _ \..--( / `\.-''__.-'\ ( \_ `''' `\__ /\ ') -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] På vegne av Ingo Kober Sendt: 22. mars 2004 12:20 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: [gecko]Gekko Dear all, maybe you remember that I am writing a book about husbandry of Gekko (not Gecko) species. Hence it is of interest to me, to know how many people do in fact regularily breed species of this genus. So all you Gekko gecko, Gekko vittatus, Gekko monarchus, Gekko grossmanni, Gekko ulikovskii, Gekko siamensis, Gekko smithii, Gekko petricolus etc etc breeders tell me how many babies you have per year of which species and since then. Sadly my impression so far is that with the exception of some tokay and white lined gecko breeders (plus some petricolus breeders in europe), there is hardly anybody out there who does regularily breed these animals. Do all the thousands of G. grossmanni imports just die! Please tell me that I ´m wrong!!!! Also I would like to know whether the "patternless " (you only see very faint stripes in certain light situations) variant of Gekko vittatus is typical for a certain population (where do those come from???) or wether they occur in any G. vittatus population here and then. And also: What do you think: Are the small (11-14 preanal pores; males max 9") and the large (14-18 preanal pores, Males >10"") G. grossmanni" the same species or are there two species traded under that name? Why do you think so???
