About me Markus Roesch feels that reptiles have dominated his life since the age of 13. After he was allowed to gain experience with various species of geckos over the years, he today exclusively keeps animals of the genus Phelsuma. Although in some cases he has had up to 150 geckos in his possession, he appreciates both the enormous variation within the genus in terms of its appearance and the individual character of each individual animal. Since he has had great breeding success with his Phelsuma, he has made it his mission, to produce healthy offspring and thereby, to contribute to the sometimes time-consuming education in animal welfare. This is particularly important since many Phelsuma species are strongly threatened in their natural habitat and are preserved primarily by maintaining a stable population in captivity.
