Your Questions Answered
What does "Het Snow" mean for this gecko?
"Het Snow" means this gecko carries one copy of the recessive Snow gene. Visually, it displays its Whiteout and Caramel traits. To produce visual Snow offspring, it must be paired with another gecko that carries at least one copy of the Snow gene.
Is this a good gecko for a first-time owner?
While Fat Tail Geckos are generally hardy, this is a valuable morph intended for breeding projects. We recommend it for keepers with prior reptile experience who understand the commitment to lineage tracking and specific genetics.
How do I set up its enclosure?
Provide a 10-20 gallon enclosure with a secure lid. Maintain a temperature gradient of 75-80°F with a warm spot of 88-90°F, moderate humidity (50-60%), and multiple hides (one humid). A simple substrate like paper towel is recommended for juveniles.
