Re: [gecko]Haemodracon species? (106 words)
Haemodracon-species belong to a group of oldworld-geckos formerly known as Phyllodactylus.
The other ones are called: Goggia (SouthAfrica) Haemodracon (Sokotra-Island) Euleptes (Mediterranean) Dixonius (SE-Asia) Cryptactites (S-Africa) Afrogecko (S-Africa) You can read about this in Aaron M.Bauer, FDavid A. Good & William R.Branch:The TAxonomy of southern african leaf-toed geckos with a review of old world Phyllodactylus and the description of five new genera.
As far as I know we got an institute in germany keeping at least one of the two Haemodracon-sp.
Sparassidae (658 words)
Palystes common names include huntsman spiders, rain spiders, lizard-eating spiders and large wandering crab spiders.
Palystes occurs mainly on plants where it hunts various insects but is also regularly found in the home where they are fond of hunting Geckos (usually the common Marbled gecko, Afrogecko porphyreus).
They usually appear in the home just before the onset of rain and the males are regularly seen in August and September, probably looking for females.
