Since
2011 I have this species in my inventory. Goniurosaurus
bawanglingensis belongs to Luii - group and I would say
it is the smallest member of this group so far. This
species is very jumpy and has a lot of temperament. He's
so scary, like the Japanese members of this genus. For
me he is one of the most interesting representatives of
the genus. In his home country, which is the Hainan -
Island in China, he lives in the tropical rainforest.
The area of distribution is as the name suggests, in
the city Bawangling. There should be only a small
population of this species and for this reason, the rain
forest declared a National Park. |

The females of G. bawanglingensis have in
between 3 - 4 clutches of 2 eggs. After about
65-75 days, depending on incubation temperature,
the little hatch from the egg. Their basic color
is dark brown to black with white to yellowish
stripes. After a few days they start to recolor
it very slowly, they on their bright colors and
then a bright orange - brown. The juveniles eat
greedily and they even come with feeding from
her cave. With about 3 months it has changed
color from a brown to a bright orange, and now
even small black dots to light. |
