re: Ptyodactylus

hey neil,

i've got a trio of these as well.  they are Ptyodactylus hasselquistii although which of the three subspecies it may be i am not sure.  they are all very similar.

keep them on calci-sand with many rocks positioned horizontally and vertically (they live in caves and on rocky outcrops in their natural habitat).  they like hot temps:  basking lamp is a good idea during the day.  keep a couple live plants in the enclosure to keep mid-level humidity and a big dish of water.  lightly mist enclosure every 3 days or so.  that should work.
