Your English is just fine, but moreover - much better than my Italian :wink:

In my experience eggs from these species of gecko always go through a diapause: Homopholis wahlbergi (about 8-9 months total incubation), Blaesodactylus - all species (7-12 months total incubation), Haemodracon riebeckii ...

I led a group of researchers who were interested in finding and studying the current status of G. daudini in the Grenadines. There has been some problems for people to find them, and I understand well how they live and find them to be very common - so, was hired for the job ;-) I also visited ...

At some point in the future, I suppose I should offer to take some Italian gecko friends to the Caribbean for a guided gecko/reptile hunt! :wink: It is a very nice area for travelling and certainly the nice Gonatodes , Sphaerodactylus and Aristelliger make a trip even more interesting!

Good photos, interesting animals (!), but geckos are the nicest animals in the Caribbean!

Just wanted to share a few pics of some fascinatingly colorful geckos that I just returned from finding last week in the southern Caribbean. Hope you enjoy and mark them on your Christmas wish list!

Giorgio,

It is very special that you have this rare species. It is very hard to find in nature and lives in a very small area. I am glad they live in your terrarium.

However, I notice in your signature that your location is in Carpi .............. as in Ptenopus carpi ? Perhaps you live in the ...

Roby,
The P. rugosus you have are from the nicest population of this species - those from the far north range. They should have a lot of white coloration as they mature, and give you very high coloration contrast juveniles and adults in the future.

Congratulations!
Jon

Hi Manu and everyone,

You should prepare yourself for the chance that the eggs can take nearly one year to hatch. All Blaesodactylus , and mainland Homopholis wahlbergi , eggs endure a period of inactivity for some months prior to beginning development.

In the end, you will be rewarded with some ...
