Re: [Gecko] Holodactylus africanus

[Racodactylus]

Breeding is rare.  Don't worry about that for now, because odds right now are you will not breed them.  They may be a colony animal or may require many females to breed.  Maybe we don't cycle them correctly.

You need to de-paratize them ASAP.

Mine did best when I had them in a 20gal long with 5" of a sand peat mixture kept moist on the bottom layers.  I had a few ceramic tiles in there and they buried like mad.

I had a light that kept one end at 88-90F during the day on the surface and a water dish.

They emerge from their tunnels VERY late at night.  For me it was normally after midnight.

They are very unique little Eublepharids with massive forearms.

Mine checked out in hibernation.  I think 55F is too cold.

Treat them for bugs ASAP.
