I need some info from someone who keeps these small relatives of the leopard gecko..i have 2 and need some more info than what i can find from caresheets.

Reptilefreak

what kind of info do you need, I can most likely help out. I have had desert banded geckos, from california, which should be almost identical in care.

any general info cause i cant find much on the net.whats you cage set up???what substrate??breeding info..characteristics and habits....

Thanx,
RJ

i had 1 gecko per 10 gallon tank, and they were on t-rex "bone-aid" calci-sand. then a dry hide, a humid hide and some stuff to climb on is nice. they stay smaller then leopard geckos, and arnt as handlable. they are usually pretty skittish. i had a shallow water bowl available at all times.

they like low stuff to climb on??

Thanks for your input.

RJ

a pair will be ok in a 10, as long as its only 1 male, as im sure you know. they like rocky areas so they can get into stuff and hide, so stuff to climb around on and explore is probably good.

OK so it is alright for them to be under the rock???should they be seperated or can they stay together??

RJ

it's fine for them to be under the rock, as long as the rock is stable and won't crush them. they can be together as long as both of them arn't males.

OK...theyve mad a kinda burrow under the rock that they go in and out of.so its ok to be together after mating season??ttyl

p.s:whats your screen name mean??

RJ

they should be ok together year round, but if you notice any fighting or anything, then you know its time to seperate them. my screen name, basically means that i admire the singer/guitarist of the Pixies, Black Francis, aka Frank Black.
