Your Questions Answered
Is this gecko handleable?
Yes. African Fat Tail Geckos are generally docile and tolerate gentle handling well once acclimated. Always support the full body and avoid handling during shed or immediately after feeding.
What setup do I need for an adult?
You will need a secure 20-gallon long terrarium or larger with a substrate like coconut fiber or paper towel, a warm hide, a cool/moist hide, a shallow water dish, and appropriate under-tank or overhead heating controlled by a thermostat.
How do I ensure it eats after arrival?
Allow a 7-10 day acclimation period with minimal disturbance. Offer food (gut-loaded crickets or dubia roaches dusted with calcium) in the evening. A consistent feeding response was noted during its time in our care.
