Sidviciouser 11-13-2008, 03:42 PM This was a great looking gecko at the slc show this past summer. Not positive what it is though.

earthpig23 11-13-2008, 03:50 PM nope not a gragoyle but it is in the Rhacodactylus genus
unless i am mistaken it is a Rhacodactylus leachianus henkeli
Larry Petty 11-13-2008, 04:21 PM Sweet! That thing is huge.

earthpig23 11-14-2008, 01:48 AM yep doubled checked and it is a Rhacodactylus leachianus henkeli
they are one of the biggest of the rhacs not as colorful as other leachianus but its definitly a cool one
Leachies are super cool...My buddy had a few - They get pretty big and feel way different than any other lizard that I have every felt...Looks like a "Type B" to me...They sure ain't cheap either...I believe an adult will run ya around a grand...Babies around $400 - $500...Can't sex them till their 6 months old or so...I did see an adult breeder pair on KS for $2000...Wish I wasn't broke...

Varanus99 11-14-2008, 05:00 AM These guys are really cool. So freakin' big. Its weird to see a gecko that big. Back in the day the largest gecko we ever had access to was a tokay. Remember those guys? Wow were they mean!
I wouldnt mind havin' a trio of leachies. Maybe some day.
Rick247 11-14-2008, 05:17 AM That thing look like a monitors lizard. LOL its huge.

Mrs. Sputnik 11-14-2008, 10:28 AM Remember....I still have a pair....:lol:
You do ?????????????? :lol:
Sidviciouser 11-14-2008, 12:25 PM This guy was super gentle and slow moving. Really cool in person, I'm fixin to get a pair someday.
I asked if I could take a pic and the lady said "sure". So I snap a pic, the flash goes off, and this gecko jumps out of her hand and knocks over all the deli cups below containing spiders, scorpions, and frogs.
Ooops.
earthpig23 11-14-2008, 03:08 PM Remember....I still have a pair....:lol:
I am actually thinking of picking up a tokay from our friend Jeremy for some reason I just got to have one lol
