About

My name is Bobby Pruett and with the help of my wife Corinne, sons David & Dominic and daughters Gabrielle & Molly we have built and maintain one of the largest collections of Rhacodactylus geckos, Amazon tree boas, and Emerald tree boas in the US.

Arboreals Etc... is the product of a lifetime interest in reptiles. I have devoted the last 20 years to this hobby and as a result can now make captive born reptiles available to the public. Specializing in Rhacodactylus geckos, Amazon tree boas, and Emerald tree boas. We are also involved in many other reptile breeding programs which include colubrid, boa, and ball python morphs to name a few. I am a hobbyist that knows quality means more the quantity.

Here is a little of my background with these wonderful geckos.

leachianus= I got my first leachie in 1993 I finally got them to produce in 1996

auriculatus= I got my first group in 1995 and they produced in 1996

ciliatus= I was lucky and got one pair in 1996 as adults and got eggs within the first month, luck of the draw on that one.

chahoua= Just started with them 2004 haven't produced any yet

sarasinorum= Just started with them 2004 haven't produced any yet

trachs= I got to hold one once lol

People think the market has dropped lately, you should have got a hold of the first imports and those price tags

The Rhacodactylus Network is by no means a fly by night operation. We have been online since 1995 and we don't plan on ever dropping out of the hobby. One of the new tools we are working on is

The Rhacodactylus Registrar: and it will serve to function similar to the American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA) Studbook . What it will do is list the current Rhacodactylus in the private sector in an attempt to keep track of lineages and their population status.

The listing of the animals and their history on this page will be an effort by the members of the Rhacodactylus Network and is completely voluntary. It is our hopes that all Rhacodactylus keepers will submit their information so that we know the animals' histories. Information that is submitted is entered into the database and published. Animals will be assigned a registrar number that will be used as the permanent identifier of the animal. The registrar will be kept as up-to-date as possible in regards to changes in the location of the animal, births, deaths, and other important events.

There are allot of exciting things planned for the future so set back and enjoy yourself.
