Your Questions Answered
How does the Zulu Stripe differ from a normal African Fat Tail?
The primary difference is the patterning. The Zulu Stripe morph is bred specifically for a bold, solid dorsal stripe and often exhibits higher contrast between its background color and bands compared to wild-type specimens.
What is the typical adult size?
African Fat Tail Geckos typically reach 7 to 9 inches in total length as adults. They are a stout, robust gecko. The measured weight of 1.8 oz on our scale indicates a healthy, growing individual.
Are these good for beginners?
Yes, African Fat Tail Geckos, including this morph, are considered an excellent choice for novice and experienced keepers alike. Their care is straightforward, similar to a leopard gecko, but they require slightly higher humidity.
