@ghoulishcresties , I’m gonna go Super Hypo with a cool Paradox spot, but @erie-herps ’s opinion is just as valid as mine, and our two descriptions are actually very close, they just sound really different. We’re just varying on the exact number of spots that a Super Hypo has on their body versus a Hypo, which is also influenced by whether or not you consider the big spot a Paradox spot or not.
From the one eye, I don’t notice any ocular mutations. And the definition for Carrot Tail is sort of nebulous. The old-school guideline was 15+% of the tail, but never specified if that meant by total visibly orange surface area on the tail or by the maximum extent of the orange down the length of the tail. I would not say Carrot Tail in this case, but I also wouldn’t strongly disagree with someone who would.
Yeah those eyes have so much expression - granti are just incredible! Something about Sphaerodactylus and how they look at you. Gonatodes are a close second … this is Sparky, my male Gonatodes vittatus whose viv is next to my desk. He just perches in his cork bark background watching me work everyday - boldest micro gecko I have.
Thank you. That’s actually a piece of cork bark tube that sticks out of the background, that has a hole in the top of it. He’s been known to just poke his head out of it and glare at me!
I’ve heard they’re more skittish than crested geckos (never owned a crestie myself though) and he took a few months to fully adjust to being here, but I can generally get him out of the cage without a fuss now. Definitely handleable, he can be speedy if he’s super freaked out but it’s very easy to tell where he wants to go and if he’s going to jump.
His cage is downstairs across from the couch and he likes to watch me and my cat when we’re down here, plus he’s very active once his cage lights go off. Definitely a species I would like to get more of!
