Your Questions Answered
Is this gecko a good choice for a beginner?
African Fat-Tail Geckos are often recommended for beginners due to their docile nature, but they have specific humidity requirements. This adult animal is suitable for a committed first-time keeper who has researched their care, or for an experienced hobbyist adding to their collection.
What does ‘Unsexed’ mean?
We guarantee this as a healthy, robust adult gecko. Determining sex in fat-tails can be subtle and requires expert handling. We prioritize the animal’s well-being over sexing, so it is sold as ‘Unsexed.’ The price reflects this.
