fat tails come from a more damp enviorment and leos come from more dry enviorments. fat tails in captivity need about 20% more humidity

Hi

African Fat Tails have such a great personality, they are even more dosile than L. geckos and have started to come into there on color variations on sellers web sites.

AFT, get a little bit of a shorter tail than L. geckos do and they get quite a bit fatter in width, there heads have just a little bit of a different shape, so if you put a leo next to an african, you would be able to tell the difference. You would definitely get hooked on these guys.
