Nathan, Along with Underwoodisaurus/Nephrurus taxonomy one could include the Geckonia/Tarantola chazaliae as well. Craig

Re: [gecko]Underwoo...Nephr...wait...D'oh!
Ron, I am aware that the names have been synonymous for well over a decade and putting this species in the Nephrurus complex makes complete sense, but I too liked Underwoodisaurus. Thanks for the response.

Nathan, Underwoodisaurus has been considered a synonym of Nephurus since the early 90's. I believe Dr. Aaron Bauer changed it. The only person that uses it still is Dr. Cogger in his Australian Herpetology books. I think it should be stable because a group of Australian scientists used Nephurus and not Underwoodisaurus in a recent paper on Australian geckos. I kind of liked Underwoodisaurus because it was a name in honor of Garth Underwood a British Herpetologist who made a number of significant contributions to herpetology, especially geckos. He is the one responsible for the use of Cyrtodactylus instead of Gymnodactylus. All of the popular North American Herpetology science journals have a fascinating biography of Dr. Underwood, if anyone is interested.

Re: [gecko]Bloody feces
Mike, Your update, post vet visit, to the list is most informative. Just wondering, why the soak now and not vaseline since you have already visited the vet? Be sure someone keeps an eye on your spider, cuz he's not up to snuff right now and we surely don't want him to drown. Hope that he's staying warm enough.

Re: Re: [gecko]Bloody feces
Hi there. The only reason he is soaking now is that he had a little bit of dried urates stuck to his cloaca (males have this, too, right?). Just to be sure the area was clean the vet told me to soak him. He's actually in the terrarium in an open Tupperware container to keep warm. Anyway, the water will moisturize his bottom for when I put the Vaseline on this evening. Just like a little baby with diaper-rash! ;-) Mike From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2003/07/23 Wed PM 02:00:17 EDT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [gecko]Bloody feces Mike, Your update, post vet visit, to the list is most informative.
