Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Very nice.
I've often wondered how a person can tell which are the 'Hawaiian'. It looks as if you have a couple different types there. Any insight into distinguishing the Hawaiian ones?

OK. On what grounds do you call yours Hawaiian, then?

Type A mourning geckos, which are the most common variety in the hobby, also turn light at night or when kept in a dark enclosure. Although type A may or may not occur in Hawaii, they aren't what people are referring to when they say "Hawaiian" morning geckos. Types B and D, with their bold spotting, are considered "Hawaiian".
The geckos in the photos appear to be both Hawaiian and the more common type A.

If I'm not mistaken, there are 3 "strains" of Hawaiian Mourning Geckos recognized. Theres lots of variation in each strain but a general look for each. A university (can't remember which or find link at moment) did a study on partho behavior of HMG's and part of the article talked a little about the 3 stains. If I remember correctly, A is high spot, B is med spot camo look and C is what we would all call normal or regular. All 3 strains can be found living with each other too.
Temperature and mood has a lot to do with how light in color a MG can get. Also, the look of a strain can change over just a few generations. Not too dramatically but spots increase, more or less color etc.

So, James and Greg, is there any distinct phenotypic differences between Hawaiian MGs and all others? Or is the distinction a matter of locale origin only without any recognizable visual markers?

This chart is the only readily available resource that I am aware of- I believe that this is what most keepers go by.
