    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

For Sale Gargoyle and Leachianus

what is the difference between the leachianus and the chahoua geckos? Sorry, just curious. I'm just getting into crested geckos for the time being just want to gain some information.
 
MUCH larger than chahouas. Leachianus is the largest known species of gecko still in existence. The chahoua is much more comparable in size to a crested or gargoyle, with a leachianus having the potential (depending on locality) of exceeding 12"+ snout to tail length. Care for all rhacodactylus species is similar, but leachianus do tend to prefer more fruit in their diets (to be provided in the form of Repashy's Gecko Diet). Leachies are also thought to be extremely long-lived, with the potential for exceeding 30 years in age. If you're looking into a leachianus, be prepared for a larger cage requirement and a long-term commitment. FYI- leachianus have also been known to get a bit nippy at times, especially the females. They can be tamed down fairly easily with regular handling, but a bite from a full-grown leachie can be an unpleasant surprise if you're not expecting it. Lastly, the babies require a higher humidity than other Rhacodactylus species --- baby leachianus should be housed in glass terrariums with glass tops. If they are kept too dry, they can actually become disoriented and have a hard time finding their food.
