Chocky, the Crested Geko's originate from New Caledonia. People thought they were extint until the early 1990's. They are a nocturnal reptile, and eat crickets, and amazingly are very partial to baby food!

I have more photos to post to show you if you like.

Wow great pics of your lizard spooks. I absolutely love reptiles, and I would love to see more pics of your Geko's. My son used to have a Royal Python when he was younger and about 10 years ago we had a 9ft and a 10ft Boa Constrictor and they used to love to slither along the back of the settee.

Sorry I've not posted much this week, been working on my website. However, here are a couple more images of the Geko's as requested by Babs.... (Oh yes, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABS!!!!! )

I've been out and bought another Tree Frog today, so the little "jack russels on helium" are going to be singing in chorus..... LOL


Hope you likes the images
