    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....

I am looking for some of our north american geckos, well at least ones that are now established in north america.

Mediterranean Gecko (not a native of course but is found here now in the FL area.
Hemidactylus turcicus

Reef Gecko (the one that I am most interested in)
Sphaerodactylus notatus

I know that there are tons of newly introduced geckos and other reptilians introduced to southern florida, but the two listed above are the ones that I am most interested in, mainly the Reef Gecko.

So is there anyone down south there that can put your hands on some of these guys.
 
I live in South Florida. I've seen Mediterranean geckos before they're all over the place at night. The one I don't think I've seen is the reef gecko. Do you have a pic?

credit to takers of these pics, borowed from the net.
if there is a problem I will ask them be removed.


I just did a search for them at yahoo and that is a couple that i came up with. I have a book here that has got my interest up in these guys.
 
Before I read your reply I also did a search and found some pics. I've never seen those before.
 
keep an eye out, in the mean time how offten do you see the med. geckos, I would be interested in a few of those as well.
If you can sex them that would be even better, 2 males and about 4-6 females would be a good start.
Also if you can get them pm me and we can talk about the exchange.
 
I have not received any responses that would count as a lead to getting any. But I sure would love to hear from someone that either has some or can get some.
