I have a trio set up in a "compound" tank. Bottom tank is an 18x18x18 exoterra cube with a 3" diameter hole in a new top (pvc sheet) then I have an 18x18x36 high screen cage atop that. I have a UTH pad under the bottom tank and light the top tank with a 40w red bulb. Four hours a day I have a UVB light on a timer. This morning one of my girls dropped 2 beautiful eggs for me. Incubation is 80ºF for 70-90 days. Mine eat a variety of foods. Repashy mix, baby food mix, dusted crix and lateralis roaches.
Good luck!

forgot to add, mine are gehyra marginata. If you have vorax, you probably paid and arm and a leg for them. In the pic there is an extra red bulb. We had some really cold weather and my room got a bit cold (not the best seal on the windows) so I added some extra heat items to compensate. I use a temp gun and try to keep the top half at around 90ºF.

From my understandings there is only one pair of true Gehyra vorax in the country. I'm pretty sure they have never bred for him either thats why they are for sale.
This is what they should really look like. The ones for sale are pretty beat up. I'm not saying anything bad about the guy I dont know him. Just letting you know what I know. If you could get them reacquainted to each other and get them to breed they would be more than worth 600 bucks. Gehyra marginata


are really close to G. vorax. Good luck. . you get the true vorax get ahold of me if you get them breedin lol.
