About this book

Language: German

This monograph describes the biology, husbandry, and breeding of Naultinus elegans and Naultinus grayii, two species of endemic New Zealand geckos that are vulnerable to extinction due to the introduction of exotic predators such as mice, cats, stoats, weasels, ferrets, and hedgehogs to New Zealand. At first glance, keeping these geckos in captivity on the other side of the planet may not seem to have anything to do with species conservation. Such efforts, however, are allowing for the establishment of several independent groups that can serve as genetic reservoirs. These animals are isolated from the threats that geckos may suffer in their native country. Keeping them in captivity furthermore aids in developing knowledge of gecko behaviour, biology, and care conditions. This book shares the high levels of expertise behind their care and breeding.

Summary in German:
Die Geckogattung Naultinus Gray, 1842 wird unter Reptilienliebhabern fast als mythisch angesehen. In fast allen Bereichen ihrer Naturgeschichte, ihrem Schutz und ihrer Taxonomie ruft sie viel Neugier und Diskussionen hervor. Ihre sehr ansprechende Färbung und Zeichnung, die von den anderen Geckos abweichende Fortpflanzung, ihr Verhalten und nicht zu Letzt ihre geringe Verfügbarkeit machen sie zu einem „Heiligen Gral“ in der Terrariengemeinschaft. Nach vielen Jahren der Beobachtung und des Experimentierens konnten die Autoren stabile Zuchtgruppen etablieren und dabei eine gewisse genetische Variabilität gewährleisten. Der Austausch von Informationen und Zuchtlinien mit anderen erfahrenen Züchtern ist der Grundstein für den Zuchterfolg dieser besonders anspruchsvollen Gattung. Die Autoren hoffen, daß dieses Buch zu mehr Wissen, zu mehr Zuchterfolgen und letztendlich zu einer größeren Verfügbarkeit führen wird.
