Bibron's Gecko, some q's?

Katt Apr 28, 2004 05:21 PM

Trying to find info on these guys. Do they need dry or humid conditions. I'm feeding caresheets that say one or the other. UVB necessary? Lady we bought them from, told us they're nocturnal. She's been breeding them for years apparently. Thanks!

They like it dry and hot. UVB is not necessary for nocturnal geckos. Give them some rocks and bark temps in upper 80s on hot side, and mist 2-3 times per week lightly for water. These guys are little pigs and very easy to care for in captivity.
