Very huge cuteness factor....

very cute, i have three and they are a joy even if you only see them now and then

but im curious, they are nocturnal animals and only come out at night so dont need a light on during the day only heat if its really cold.........mine have NO lights just a ceramic heat lamp

both girls have been trying to dig to china lately, hopefully that is a good sign and they have gotten friendly with the male

No lid is required as these Gecko’s can not climb smooth surfaces. No additional lighting necessary if animals are kept in a room with some provision of natural light from a window or skylight.

i have a window in here with blinds and it gives the room a filtered light (twilight) effect

am i wrong gibblore? as i said i thought these geckos didnt need lighting during the day due to being nocturnal? if i am wrong and they do then ill need to put a light in mine

im only going on what i have read in here and online about them

I think Gibblore means the addiction of keeping geckoes..

 

[Jeannine]

oh gosh i hope so :lol:, hate to think i have said the wrong thing

mind u my evil mind has been thinking 'racks' and 'geckos' in the same sentence and thats frightening me :lol:

ive also found a tunnel going under a fake branch, a half buried hide they live under and a half buried artifical plant from where the girls have been digging in the sand :lol: guess they have been excavating which im hoping is a good sign as they have NEVER done this much before and such an appetite lately too
