I picked up a Central American Banded Gecko at the expo yesterday and thought I'd share a few photos. I would also love to see your tank designs and if you have any tips to share that would be great. From what I understand their care is a very similar to Leos.

They need more humdity than Leos.

they need more humid environment and lower temperatures than Leos. I keep my 2 young mitratus on coco-fiber substrate at room temperatures cca 23-26°C (74-80°F). I mist one part of the enclosure with water every or every other day. they have a shallow dish with water (I have not seen them drink from that, but it may help a bit to keep the humidity) and some shelters...that´s all

Okay! Thank You. I have a plan and will post pictures of the finished product.

make sure the decoration things (stone, flowerpot,...) don´t fall on the gecko when it gets an idea to dig under some of them
personally, I would lay that stone on its flat side, so it will be safe and the gecko can dig a burrow under it
