    Jalu vs. Chahoua, PI vs. GT, or are they all just "Mniarogekkos"?

    Good job! My opinion is long, and you well know, because I shared it in other topics. Here a resume from an Italiangekko article I wrote : http://italiangekko.net/ig/index.php/risorse/articoli-terraristici/item/7325-the-mniarogekko-genus

    Chahoua noises/talking.

    Couples can be very "noisy" at night. I had a case of a female starting to call the male when she was laying eggs and I opened the cage. Other times, males can "sing" if they smell a female in the near cage, but I experienced that few times. I have males that become really aggressive and...

    Pricing and Value Related to Chahoua

    Well, I think that starting from the "not so easy to produce", this spieces has alreay a higher sense of precious , that a breeder/hobbist can translate into : more money value. Then, lineages, true locality data, and straight or not line of blood, makes different points of view. It's funny to...

    DNA tested Jalu...how much truth behind it?

    Yes, you are right Tracy! Unfortunately, after GPS data wich show the (I wish) place of finding, if is Ile Art, no doubt about M.jalu instead of a M.chahoua.. But it s so complex Like all the things about Mniarogekko sp. After all Bauer said to me that some tests have been done... Mitocondrial...

    DNA tested Jalu...how much truth behind it?

    DNA tests can be done using mitocondrial or nuclear tests. Nuclear test is very high priced, but with a simple mitocondrial you can put the described M.jalu DNA of 2012 A.Bauer et al. Samples and your animals in confront, If they are equal, so it's M.jalu . We can not do that for PI, because...

    Sublabial scales comparizations

    Here another male. If you can see , this is quite different. The second row of scales hasn't the central squared big one, but there are 2 micro scales there. This is son of the green FF line PI

    PI or Mainland, Does It Really Matter Anymore?

    Only a "external looking" will never be able to tell if an animal is a PI or GT or M.jalu. This is the actual final point of the topic... How can you tell if this is a PI or GT for example???

    PI or Mainland, Does It Really Matter Anymore?

    So, the REAL first animals came from GT , with traking on locales : LaFoa,Sarramea,Mt.Mou (central-north). M.jalu , never had is own trak locality, because of the recent classification (Bauer et.al 2012), so we will never know IF and HOW MANY M.jalu we have in hobby, even IF hybrids occours...

    PI or Mainland, Does It Really Matter Anymore?

    yes.. And that's it since few months .. Searching for Google images "M.jalu/chahoua" appear the photos but I can't get on the original site.

    PI or Mainland, Does It Really Matter Anymore?

    - GT / BELEP : M.chahoua different populations , and M.jalu far north . No hybrids records from Bauer. - PI : Mniarogekko sp. / chahoua , very similar to jalu but with different charateristics , so possible undescribed new sp/ssp.
