Naultinus Naultinus elegans and Naultinus grayii: Biology, husbandry and breeding

Description:

The gecko genus Naultinus Gray, 1842 is considered almost mythical among reptile enthusiasts. It generates much curiosity and debate in almost all areas of its natural history, conservation and taxonomy. Their very attractive coloring and markings, the reproduction that differs from other geckos, their behavior and, last but not least, their low availability make them a “Holy Grail” in the terrarium community. After many years of observation and experimentation, the authors were able to establish stable breeding groups while ensuring a certain level of genetic variability. The exchange of information and breeding lines with other experienced breeders is the cornerstone for the breeding success of this particularly demanding species. The authors hope that this book will lead to more knowledge, more breeding success and ultimately greater availability.
