from what ive heard uvb lights(i allways suggest 5.0 for everything else) work
for these guys because unlike most nocternal geckos that hide all day these guys
hang on branches in full view(wich makes them great critters for a natural
set-up) so they can actually use the uvb.
ive also heard that they will sometimes eat snails(?) for calcium.
i really want a pair of them,most likely they would live in my 30gall x-tall.
neat guys.
