My male Grande Terre

[Geoff Cunningham]

G-Day not been here in a while.

I got this guy from Allen a year and half ago and was wanting to pair him up with a nice dark morph female. If anyone has a female please let me know. Thanks

He's a beauty. He looks huge on your arm! How old was he when you acquired him and what are you currently feeding him? What size enclosure is he in? What's his temperment like, I have heard GT's can be a bit more feisty than other locale's.

Leach' diet sprinkled on banana, mealworms

He was one year old when I got him from Allen

He's mellow and has never bitten me but does crowl at you LOL, I don't handle him much.

He has grown fast in a small tub. I plan on putting him in a larger Terrarium when I can pair him up.

thanks

Does she date?

Can you post a pic?

Cheers

I asked her and she looked offended! I am planning to post a pic of her...I have a long list of pics I am supposed to do. So many geckos....so little time!

I'm assuming by Allen you mean Allen that started this forum? I didn't know he had Leachi's for sale!!

My Island E growls at me too but I have never been bitten but I never handle him either unless it is absolutely necessary.

Just out curiosity, since I asked this same question to another member with Island E's, do you plan on keeping them together full time or simply for breeding purposes? I have heard that they can often be very aggressive towards one another and some times a male will not accept a female or vice versa when it comes to breeding. What are your thoughts on this?

** Island E? You mean Grande Terre's I suppose.

My experience Is with Isle of Pines and its offshore forms only as far as breeding is concerned. I had a large group from 1993 though 1998 and had no problems keeping 1. 2 together all year round. In the wild the population density Is high on many of the offshore Island forums. It would not surprise me if the GT forum was more aggressive to its mate as it Is far less common in the primary forests of Grande Terre.

To clarify I knew you had a GT, I personally own a male Island E and I was just saying my guy growls at me too some times. Another guy on here has a pair of Island E's as well and I asked him the same question about breeding that's why I tossed the Island E part in there a couple times, sorry about the confusion.

Thanks for your answers as well, in most cases I have heard the GT's can be the most feisty so I am definitely interested to hear about your experience after you breed them.
