Mediterranean
Geckos are native to the humid tropical and sub-tropical regions of the
Mediterranean Region, Africa, and India.
They have been introduced into North America and Mexico. They are nocturnal lizards with activity
peaks at dusk and dawn.
Maximum size: 4”-5”
Lighting: Specialized reptile lights
for viewing nocturnal animals would be a good choice. Full spectrum fluorescent
UV bulbs will bring out the natural coloring of these lizards.
Temperature range: Day 75°-85°F Night 70°F
Food: Crickets and mealworms
coated in calcium and vitamin powder.
Water: A shallow bowl of clean
water should always be available. Daily
misting the terrarium is important to provide humidity and water droplets for
drinking.
Housing/Habitat: An aquarium equipped with
an under tank heating pad at one end and jungle mix substrate. Landscape to
provide damp hiding places, and branches for climbing. Daily misting the substrate under the hiding
places until it is wet should keep them damp.
