Hey Elizabeth -
=A0
I shipped Lyle a bunch of stuff in about 2002 (Lyle, I still have a bunch o=
f cages for you in my basement - someday, I'll find a big enough box, all t=
he lids, and your address at the same time :) ).=A0 I held back a pair of a=
melanistic castelnaui.=A0 One died.=A0 Having 1 was a lot harder than havin=
g many.=A0 Instead of just walking to the cricket bin, I had to stop at the=
pet store.=A0 The mark up on crickets is unbelievable!=A0 About every 10 t=
imes, they'd be out.=A0 That meant an extra stop.=A0 What a hassle!=A0 I ga=
ve him to a grad student who was interested in starting to breed.=A0 I told=
her he was a great animal to start a breeding colony on (he was/is).
=A0
Having none is downright lonely.=A0 I miss the male tokay bark.=A0 I miss h=
earing the misting system kick on.=A0 And I really miss the anticipation of=
looking for eggs, and then waiting for them to hatch, especially when it w=
as a new species that I hadn't bred before.=A0 What I really don't miss is =
trying to get rid of all the hatchlings and working swap meets, where every=
one has just about the same thing for the same price.
=A0
Hopefully, when the thesis is done, and the remodel=A0(house) is finished, =
I'll be able to start up again.=A0 Next time, I will have a different "busi=
ness model" for liquidating hatchlings and keeping costs low.

Hi Joe ~

How does it feel to be "geckoless for the first time in 28 years" (!)?

Hello,
=A0=A0 I actually have the original description of Phelsuma standingi and c=
an send you a picture of the page where it is described (I don't have a sca=
nner), if you contact me off server. You could also try=A0contacting Chris =
Raxworthy at the American Museum of Natural History Herpetology Department =
or Miguel Vences and/or Franco Andreone (they both really have nice website=
s). There may be a key that I'm not aware of.
