New Caledonia Giant Gecko

Rhacodactylus leachianus, 2006

WOW now thats what I call a Gecko

Note the sign on the cage. They keep a tally of each gecko, who it's bitten and how many times. And I'm told it hurts!

Wow, that's one big gecko!

Do they breed them? There are so many reptiles that I didn't know we had/have in Australia.

PAT - taronga and melbourne particularly have awesome herp collections. i suspect in the past quite a lot came from confiscations, though i bet there are so many confiscations now much are just destroyed.

among my favorites are - taronga have tuatara and mata mata turtles, melbourne have basalisk, philippine crocodiles and 3 species of dart frog.

i just wish so many wern't listed as phase out.

Taronga also have Komodos and Corroboree Frogs.

Melbourne has an exhibit labelled for corroboree frogs but I've never seen any.

whoa, That's huge!!!
