Hi,

As I am new to this site, I will include a bit more detail about myself than if I were an old member... I currently keep 10 pythons and one, soon-to-be 3, Central beardies...And hopefully a pair of a couple of different sp. of geckos

I'm looking at getting some geckos soon (N. levis levis, U.milii and maybe some Diplodactylus sp.) and have been searching for really good quality books on them as I want to learn as much as I can about them. I have "Keeping Australian Geckos" and have purchased "Keeping and Breeding Australian Lizards" which is due to be in stock around xmas time. I'm more interested in the terrestrial geckos than arboreal, and am really excited about getting them in the next month or so, but for now, the main excitement is focused on getting my head stuck into these books - if they ever arrive lol I've also been researching online in various different forums and sites whilst I've been waiting for these damn books...So by the time the geckos are feeding well etc I will have done everything I can to know as much as I can... thats the plan anyways

I have seen, in the past 2-4 months, U. milii, D. vittatus, D. steindachneri, D. conspicillatus, a few different Gehyra sp., H. binoei, N. asper, S. taenicauda, S. williamsi (I think thats it - SO far :S lol) in the wild and have absolutely fallen in love with them! The wild geckos are MUCH more stunning than most of the captive geckos I've seen IMO, especially the asper, milii and steindachneri's... Can't say I've seen captives of much else except the Golden-tailed's and there isnt that much variation between the captives and wilds of those that I have witnessed.

So... Just wondering if anyone knows of any other good books like this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! And any pics are welcome

Thanks for your time

Hey Ishah

Ive only got the "keeping australian geckos" book at the moment. You could find some very helpful caresheets over the net. I highly recommend N.levis levis as a starter gecko, they are just great little diggers and have a good personality. It all comes down to your price range and what you like..
