Care tips
- Use a tall 45 x 45 x 60 cm enclosure with plenty of climbing branches
- Keep it at 22-26°C; anything over 28°C is dangerous
- Mist nightly for 60-80% humidity, letting it dry to ~50% by day
- Feed a complete gecko diet (CGD) plus occasional dusted insects
- Never grab the tail — it drops and does not grow back; 15-20 year lifespan
