Goniurosaurus luii - Chinese Cave Gecko

A couple of years ago, I saw some young G. luii available at a reptile show and they really grabbed my attention. The orange coloration was almost electric! After a quick look around the show to see what else might be available, I decided to buy them, but found that they had quickly sold out. Since that time I have been on the lookout for some and finally picked up a juvie pair at Tinley. This is a strikingly colored member of the Goniurosaurus genus, and somewhat hard to find compared to the more common G. hainanensis. Like all Goniurosaurus, they are a shy species, but I find my luii to be more visible and not quite as shy as my hainanensis. It will probably be 2011 before I begin to breed this species.
