Hello,
I am looking any information of these geckos :
*Ebenavia Inunguis
*Paroedura Any of the unusual ( Lohatsara, Stumpffi, Vazimba, Oviceps, Karstophila....)
*Geckolepis Species ( Petiti, Typica, Maculata...)

Please anything would be good,
Regards,
George Millet

The Paroedura species you have named are all very hardy and breed well in captivity. Their care is also very similar. Humidity should be maintained at around 50-60% day time and 75-100% during a morning and evening misting. Temps should range 80-85 F daytime and 72-75 F nighttime. A sphagnum peatmoss and cypress mulch mixture works well for substrate. Make 25% of the ground space a mixture of 3/5 calcium carbonate sand and the remaining 2/5 should be the peatmoss/mulch mixture. Karstophila and lohatsara are arboreal yet the others are semi-arboreal and bark placed at angles and vertically for climbing and hunting is appreciated. Terrestrial hiding places should be available to all species. "Leafy" plants are not very useful to these geckos, but plants with strong branches are to a degree. Crickets are a good staple diet, and most will get moisture off of plants or the enclosures sides, however if they were raised with a water dish they may prefer a small shallow dish. Pairs of lohatsara, oviceps, and stumpfii can be housed in 10 gal. sized enclosures. Trios of karstophila and vazimba can be housed in a 10 gal.
Hope this helps. Check with www.emeraldexotics.net about Geckolepis maculata.
