Cardamom Gecko and Carrot Tail Gecko

antonm Aug 20, 2003 01:22 AM

We have a cardamom gecko at the shop I work at and I could very little info on the proper living conditions. We also have a "carrot tail" gecko which I'm pretty sure is the wrong name for it but often they send us things improperly marked and we have to find out for ourselves what it actually is. The only carrot tail gecko I could find was a ground dweller (Carrot Tail Viper Gecko) and this one is arboreal. it has a large carrot looking tail but not like a leopard gecko because it is very thick at the base and tapers off where as the leopard is thick in the middle. It's coloration is similar to a giant madagascar gecko or any other brown/dark brown/black type gecko that like to blend into trees. Does anyone have any input on either one of these?

It would be best to have the scientific names of the geckos, and a photo would help out immemsely.
