If I had to guess, maybe Triturus cristatus?

Well it’s definitely a newt, but as to what species, hard to say from the pic

Ethan “Brother Ethan” Kocak @ethankocak.com · 9h

Yep! Lots of interesting herps!

They were! I had almost all of them, and multiples of some.

Bummer. Yeah I’m really glad to have one again, I’ll definitely let you know if I can find her a mate!

Halmahera gecko perched on glass. You can see she’s got some thickness.

If I can find a male, would definitely like to. They’re definitely an underrated species and CB ones are rare and generally much friendlier!

Truth

Ethan “Brother Ethan” Kocak @ethankocak.com · 11h

You’re not wrong

This one is female and in great shape for being a wild caught import.

They are flighty by nature but can be tamed down with patience. They are very fond of sweet things so can be encouraged with a little bit of honey to lick at your finger.

However, they are MUCH faster than any of the New Caledonian geckos, with wicked looking sickle-shaped claws and green eyes.

Back when I had a group of them about 12 years ago we jokingly called them “the poor man’s Leachianus gecko” because they have (almost)the size and the look, but generally went for about $75.

Halmahera gecko, (Gehyra marginata) These are sometimes called “Vorax” geckos, despite the fact that Gehyra vorax hasn’t been imported in decades.
