Your Questions Answered
What setup does an adult African Fat Tail Gecko need?
An adult requires a minimum 20-gallon long terrarium with a secure lid. Provide a temperature gradient of 75-88°F with an under-tank heat mat on one side, a humid hide with moist sphagnum moss, and multiple dry hides. Substrate can be paper towel, reptile carpet, or a soil/sand mix. They are nocturnal and do not require intense UVB, but low-level lighting can support a day/night cycle.
How is the temperament for handling?
African Fat Tail Geckos are notably docile and tolerate gentle handling well once acclimated. They are less skittish than some other gecko species. Always support the full body and avoid handling during the day when they are resting. Short, calm sessions are best.
What is the gecko’s current health and feeding status?
Every gecko is visually health-checked before shipping. It is feeding reliably on gut-loaded insects like crickets and dubia roaches, dusted with calcium and vitamins. We provide a current feeding record and care sheet with purchase. A 30-day health guarantee applies.
