New Fat-Tailed Geckos!
So my daughter is going to be 6 years old this May and really wanted her "own" lizard. I did some research and both my daughter and I decided that a fat-tailed gecko is pretty easy to care for, pretty slow moving, and relatively a gentle creature. We have been keeping our eye out lately in the classified for captive bred babies or juvies. We finally found a young pair in a local reputable reptile store. They are roughly 6 months old and captive bred. The one is a striped normal and a male and the other is a normal and we are thinking girl but not certain as of yet. I have set them up in a 10g for now with an UTH and a
70W red light. We used moistened coco coir for the substrate, a hide on each side of the tank, some fake plants to add some more security, and a water dish. I plan to put a small dish of calcium in there too tomorrow. The warm side of the tank on the surface of the substrate is at 85 F under the red light and over the UTH. So here are a couple pics of the set-up and the male gecko (the female found a comfy hide and fell asleep). I am rather new to geckos so please I won't take offense if you spot an error in my set-up or anything. Also I am aiming to maintain humidity at around 65%, does that sound about right?
