I found those on today´s reptile-fair and couldn´t resist to buy them ;D They are already adult and the femals are pregnant. They are inclusive tail 7cm long and don´t grow anymore. They are so funny and georgeous!

TBH, I will not be able to handle them at all. The bigger one looks pretty cute though. So if the female is pregnant, bet you are expecting to have a baby / some babies then? Are they called Tropiocolotes Steudneri? (Can't even be able to pronouce it )

Hi felix! I have no clue, how they are called in English. This is their latin name. Here they are called "Zwergwüstengecko". We have some more reptiles. We keep a bearded dragon (male), a group of leopardgeckos and we get in a few days a group of Sceloporus malachiticus (but the viv is not ready yet for them so they have to wait a bit at the home of the seller) and of course our group of anolis carolinensis... ...and their homes here a pair of bufo marinus, 5 tanks of milipedes, 2 tanks with fruit beetles (mecorrhina torquata), some mantids, loads of phasmids and of cours zillions of snails....AND (I guess that what you makes at all shudder) a colonie of worms, motts, crickets, grasshoppers for feeding the animals..... Yes felix, I am a crazy woman..... ;D oh, I forgot my daughters Avicularia-versicolor spiderlings.... ;D ;D

I only have the snails, the newts and the newly adopted Salamander. I am not a very reptile person as I am scare of their looks TBH. I don't mind to see them when they are in the tanks / cage. On the other hand, I have a lot of furry animals, fishes & hermit crabs and I foster and help regulating diabetic cats. Like Apple always comments that I have a zoo. LOL.
