| Here is a picture of my Goniurosaurus hainanensis that I am getting in as soon as the weather cools off. It is too hot to ship him right now. These are the current owner's pictures. I can't wait for it to cool off! He is a one-year-old, captive bred, proven male Goniurosaurus hainanensis. This is the only picture that he has of him right now:

Congrats! I was wondering when you were going to get one. The yellow is very vibrant on him, and his eyes are just amazing!

| I believe their common name is "Hainan cave gecko." They are fairly closely related to leopard geckos (both Eublepharids), but they are much, much rarer and much more finicky and difficult to care for. He is really beautiful! Hopefully I can find a nice Lowland female for him.

Lucky, but since you metioned Goniurosaurus hainanensis is a rare speices, they must be expensive. How much $$$ is it?

| Rarity does not necessarily mean that the animal is expensive, it depends on the demand. For example, Nephrurus levis (smooth knob-tailed geckos) are much more common than Goniurosaurus hainanensis, but N. levis will cost around 300 to 500 dollars, while G. hainanensis will only cost about sixty to 175 dollars. Captive bred, unsexed, hatchling hainanensis will go for about sixty dollars, captive bred, adult males for about eighty, and captive bred, adult females for about 125 to 175. Wild caught are slightly cheaper, but usually die within a couple of months in captivity. I would guess that under 1000 people in the United States keep cave geckos, with only about fifty actually breeding them. They are very, very difficult to find, and it took me about six-seven months to finally find a reliable breeder. What species of Goniurosaurus were the ones that were 150 to 250 dollars? Were they captive bred or wild caught? And who was the breeder, just curious?

To be honest I have no idea who the breeders were, I was just browsing and came across it. So I couldnt tell you if they were WC or CB but from the price my guess is captive.
