Post subject: False Vorax (marginata) and Tiger Gecko

This is my baby G. Marginata (often confused with and called vorax geckos, they are not actually G. Vorax). I'm calling her a she until I find out otherwise. She's soooooo soft. :3
My Pachydactylus tigrinus, an African Tiger gecko. She is super adorable.

Wow that tiger gecko is beautiful. I am also actually thinking of getting a false vorax. The one I am looking at is a little bit more on the green side tho  |

Wow I've never seen a false vorax.... very bad! You make me want one now hehe.
Your Tiger gecko is very beautiful as well. Do they usually look like that or is she gravid?
/me giggles at the amount of geckos you have. I was just talking to my brother and he told me I needed to stop getting reptiles cause its very similar to a "drug addiction" hmmph if he could only see the collection some people have hehe. I only have 8  |

Haha thats what my mom said. Before I moved out, I have 35 leopard geckos at my house, and at least 30 other animals (one being a burmese python, the other a full grown savannah monitor!) I had to rehome most of them due to me moving away from home, but have started a new collection here. Its funny how some people will tell me NOW that I have "too many animals", when all I have right now is 8! |

CoexistExotics, Yeah, I'd like to get a greener one for this one when I know the gender. My mother says I have too many geckos because she's lost count of them all. Which makes it easier to get more because she has no idea what I've got now.
Tiny_Hendrix, you should get one. ;3 The tiger actually JUST laid her egg she had, so she was gravid a few days ago. 8 is not many at all! |

Yes it's very tempting now. I've tried looking them up and the information on them are slim to none. Got a good care sheet? You will have to get a female and breed so it will be easier for me to find one! hehe
Congrats on the Tiger egg! Is it fertile?
Well I now have 9 seeing as another pictus baby hatched hehe. But I still have yet to determine how many or if I'm going to keep any of these little guys. I really was looking into spider geckos... I should have got them when I had the chance. I can't see myself paying $150 for one when I've seen them as low as $99. They will still be on my wish list.
Coexist, glad to see I'm not the only one getting the you got too many reptiles speech, although, I'd have to say they are chiming in rather late on you hehe. 
I just honestly always find it more amusing its my brother saying I have too many reptiles rather than my mother. Every time I get a new package she always has to ask if its a new reptile, lately it hasn't been, but she still always wants to see the new critters. I still find it cute that she always has to come check on my viper gecko. |

OMG BABY PICTUS!!! (squeals!)
I have been wanting pictus and viper geckos for the longest time, but never got around to picking them up. The babies are so cute! From far away, they look like beetles, but up close its a little adorable GECKO!!! |

Tiny_Hendrix, not really. LOL!! I've just talked to people that have bred them, I'll go see if I can find that info I got from them.
Oh, I will be breeding, I just have to sex it first, should be another six months the breeder said.
I think the tiger egg is good, but I'm not sure yet.
Congrats on the hatchling!!
CoexistExotics, I just put a deposit on a trio of viper tails for myself. ;3 |
