Geckomeeting Hilden (images)


Welcome to my home page!

  My name is Friedrich Wilhelm Henkel; I have been keeping and breeding geckos for more than 30 years, and i am looking forward to presenting an overview of these fascinating lizards to an interested public.  In my opinion, commuciting one's personal experience to other herpetohiles is of great importance.  
  However, the data presented on these pages have not alwys been collected by me.  A large bulk of information has been contributed by  befriended gecko-keepers. Besides, further information is available on other homepages (cf. the page [Links]). So entsteht mit der Zeit eine umfangreiche Fülle an Informationen über Geckos. 
  All the books mentioned on these pages may be purchased at [ www.chimaira.de ]
  PRO DOMO:  The photos do not invariably show geckos I am keeping myself. Many of them were shot on voyages or contributed by friends (many thanks again!).  This large collection of photos has only been ralized thank to the co-operation of other gecko-keeprs. For example, the Australian and New Zealand species were all photographed  either in the wild or in the terrariums of befriended herpetophiles. 
  I do not possess any of the said species, noir can I procure these animals. As I am constantly contacted in this context, I recommend studying the programs of the annual International Meeting of Gecko-Keepers where you will possibly get a chance to purchase or change the species you are looking for.  I am mainly keeping and breeding New Caledonian species, and I am studying the phenomena  connected with temperature-dependent sex determination (see www.rops-ev.de ).
  None of the pictures shown on my homepage may be used without my consent.

  A homepage must constantly be updated if it is to remain attractive.  The latest additions are highlighted in RED, being renewed at intervals of approx. three months.  In the course of time, I am doing my very best to employ new technical features which are likely to improve the quality of this site (at least, I hope so ...) .   
   
 
I hope you will find anything you are interested in - otherwise, please [ contact me ]!


Two companies I recommend wholeheartedly:

Here you will get anything
required for the apopropriate husbandry of your geckos
