Largely due to lauren, Im really interested in building up a collection of geckos, I love Laurens leaftails( all varieties), chahoua and gargoyles.
Are there any good books to help me learn more about them? I need to learn before I even consider getting any. Then I will need to decide which to get. Where do you usually find them? Is it usually at places like Hamm?

The best place for most of the geckos you want is to go on the internet and hunt down as many caresheets for each species as you can - thats how I usually start, then cmpare all of the caresheets and obvious contradictions or problems are spotted easily. Then next step is to go on kingsnake.com on the forums or Geckoworld forums and ask as many questions as possible. It takes a while to investigate everything. Obviously the Rhacodactylus book is a fantastic place for Rhac info, but leaftail info is few and far between. I have a book by Sacha Svetek which is out of print but it is excellent!

As well as the new book there's Rhacodactylus, Biology, Natural History and Husbandry by Robert Seipp and Friedrich Wilhelm Henkel (2000). It too is an excellent book. I got my copy from www.cyberzone.co.uk/jgbooks/MainFrame.htm ;D |
