well i was out at lake pleasant in Arizona last weekend and found one im pretty sure its a female due to the fake that there is no bulge i was wondering though after i have "broken her in" if there were any other gecko sp. that i could house with her?
she is about 5 inches including tail there are plenty of hides black sand a fake cactus and a small rock and branch that i found her by and a 50 watt heat bulb that i turn on at 9am and turn off at 9 pm

here are some of the species i was thinking of housing her with
underwoodasaurs milli
any nephrus
dilpodactylus viviatus
or pictus
please post some replies

thank you

There are people who do house multiple species together, but the going wisdom is not to do it. I also think it's best to keep geckos from different parts of the world separate. It may be good to hear more from people who do and people who don't put different species together.

On top of all that, the coleonyx(as far as i understand) would prefer a warmer basking spot than any of the others you suggest.

see this is the type of reply i was looking for someone who would give me a sure fire answer. now if someone would please possibly recomened any other lizards or geckos that would be great.

Since your banded is wild caught, I would be really worried about transmission of parasites, bacteria or viruses to captive animals originating from other localities. An Australian gecko would likely be totally unprepared to cope with Arizona pathogens even if habitat requirements were similar.

Your best be would be to house her with other small local lizards. A large Xantusia would be a possibility or maybe small diurnal lizards like Uta or Urosaurus. Just make sure that the accomidations you provide can meet the needs of all the lizards and that there is enough space for them to stay out of one another's way. If incorporating diurnal lizards, you would need to add a UVB producing light to the set-up and likely a daytime and a night time feed.

yes i agree i was thinking about trying to catch and arizona night lizard but its gonna take alot of hunting it took me three years just to find this one banded gecko.

i really like these three lizards
Xantusia vigilis
Xantusia bezyi
Xantusia arizonae

hopefully i find one of the three

Ooohh my goodness. Didn't know scientific names can be written THAT wrong. Congratulations. At least 1-2 mistakes in every name.

I recommend to keep just one species per cage.

How are your Cooleonxy verryagatus doing ?
