    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....

New to me

Ok, well that makes sense then. I recall reading that the Hines tangs as well as the Mack snows both looked different in body structure than most of our leos here. I'd like to see these in person. This is all so interesting to me.
 
no offense

no offense preston,

but do u have any SCIENTIFIC literature that states such possible "localities"? i have read of documented literature stating "murphy patternless" leopard geckos found in the wild, but other than that- i have yet to read or find any other information about such "localities". in addition, it would VERY difficult to tell the difference just by looking at a group of leopard geckos, what possible "subspecies" they could be. sure, they might look different but isn't each gecko produced in captivity unique and different in their own way?

my opinions are based solely on personal observations which are strictly speculation.

If I'm not mistaken, three different localities of Eublepharis macularious were first documented in 1966 by Drs. Anderson and Leviton, which noted the differences by sub-labial scale counts and foot structures... and then again in the 1999 book, "The Lizards of Iran, Contributions to Herpetology" by Prof. Steven C. Anderson and the publication of the same (Volume 15) at the S.S.A.R. I have been told that Dr. Anderson has a 'wet' collection of various specimens here at the University of the Pacific.
 
thanks

thanks marica! for some reason i KNEW u would have more info =)

that's definately the type of evidence i was looking for, because i've also read of differences in scale count and biological structural differences- not the "tangerine" and "hypos" locality description given previously.

ps- does dr. harkewicz have an email/contact that i can reach him at? his vet office is always so busy. email me privately please
