Hi Ron,

See my post above in response to "Cyrtodactylus louisiadensis care". These guys can be purchased from most importers, but of course they come in parasitized and thin. They are voracious eaters and extremely active hunters at night, and they are a blast to watch under a red or moonlight bulb. They need a large-ish tank - I'd say at the very least 30-40 gallons, and they need thick logs/bark to climb and bask on. The more room they have to mmove around, the more interesting their behavior is. Take care, and do consider getting a pair.

Hello! Thanks for your response. I appreciate the insight on them. I juat purchased an animal at a show for 20.00. It had been in country for 4 months and appears to be pretty healthy. It is eating like crazy and is a lot of fun to watch. I appreciate your help.

I have many beardeds, Eastern Box turtles, and leopard geckos - blizzards and tremper giants - albino and normal
