I've got a problem with these geckoes, more of an enigma.
Ebenavia inungius occupies a huge range: Madagascar, Comoros, Tanzania, Pemba
Island Tanzania, Ile aux Prunes Mayotte, Nossi Be; St. Marie, Nossi Mangabe,
Mascarenes.
I understand the Comoros are little studied so the Ebenavia from there may be
a distinct specie, or so I am told. What puzzles me is it seems these
islands were colonized by them either by rafting on driftwood or human
introduction. To be a colonizer, I think you need to be an excellent hider,
and/or more importantly an excellent breeder.
Okay here is the problem. Ebenavia inuguius is a rare gecko even in the
wild, so I am told by people that would know. Why is this? Do they hide
really well? Hiding under leafs, palm fronds and lose bark is certainly an
excellent place for a little gecko to hide. Do they breed infrequently? Are
people looking for them in the wrong places? Has anybody worked with them?
I am mainly asking these questions because I am frustrated I never see them
offered. From all I have read, heard, and seen they are a most cool little
gecko. Anyone think other wise?
I would be in your debt for answers.
Kindest,
Daniel
