This was a great looking gecko at the slc show this past summer. Not positive what it is though.

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...

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.

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.
