New Caledonian Giant Gecko. (Rhacodactylus leachianus)

I gathered together an exceptional group of breeding animals. I believe my group of leachianus to be among the best/strongest lineage/bloodlines in the UK. Many of my animals are actually F1 geckos,  Offspring of the very animals that Frank Fast collected on his expeditions to New Calidonia in the 1990’s. The very same geckos featured in his book “The Life Of Giant Geckos” wrote by Frank Fast together with fellow reptile hobby pioneers Phillippe de Vosjoli and Allen Repashy. Many are imported from leading leachianus breeders from around the globe

I only work with pure locales. No “Designer” or “High colour/Pattern” leachianus. And only with animals that have confirmation of lineage ensuring the best. The wild type locales in my eyes deserve to be respected and preserved. Especially even more so in a small hobby space like the UK. I see a place and the appeal of the “Designer variants” but upmost importance should be placed on the labelling of these geckos as what they are. It is very unlikely we are getting any more from New Calodonia, so if we make a mess of the gene pools we have, they cannot be reverted to what they once was, and the Rhacodactylus leachianus amazing natural history that has over time led to being a population within a species of such a diverse group of locales with such varying phenotypes, will be lost forever from the hobby for the coming generations of keepers.
