Why Are We Named Blue River Diets?
The name Blue River refers to the Blue River Provincial Park where in 1994 crested geckos were rediscovered. The Crested Gecko was discovered in 1866 and was thought to be extinct until 1994 when they were rediscovered on a herpetological expedition.
Blue River Park is situated on the southern part of New Caledonia’s main island Grand Terre and is one of only three locations that Crested Geckos can be found in the wild. The other two being just South of Mount Dzumac and a small island south of the main island named Ile de Pins or Isle of Pines.
Blue River Diets recently funded a research trip to Isle de Pins in conjunction with Exotics Keeper Magazine to help us better understand the needs of Crested Geckos in the wild and will be returning soon. This research is aiding us in developing our diets to make them exactly what your crested friend requires.
