Good advise from Daniel. These are very cool, unusual little guys. They tend to be in very poor shape as fresh imports. Often they are severely dehydrated. The like a moist substrate to nest in. They do enjoy digging elaborate burrows, but I dont like to let them. I know this may sound stressful for them, but I found that I can keep better track of them with shallow sand and plenty of cork for cover. It allows them hiding areas with digging material and allows me to find them to access health. A fecal exam will tell you much about the cooties they may harbor and aid in treatment. You may find them offered as fresh imports at shows for very inexpensive prices. You might try a pedialite soaking for short periods to aid in rehydrating. I use a tupperware type container with about 1/4 inch of pedialite. I let them soak for 20 minute periods. Choose an undyed type....or you get a colorful gecko.
