Hello, just wanted to know how to take care of Cyrtodactylus in general. And are they basically the same with minor differences or what? Thank you!

There are 100s of species in this genus covering a vast range with many adjusted to those various habitats. Most of these have not been studied in the wild or captivity and the ones of more study are just revealing some of their care needs. Pick the species you like and focus as an individual, as care for each is slightly to greatly different.

Thanks. I was thinking about Cyrtodactylus Elok, or C. pulchellus

[Bowfinger]

70-77F simi-humid, peat bottom, live plants and medium to large branches few hide spots. I keep Elok a lot like Uroplatus phantasticus and Pulchellus like U. henkeli but with more horizontal set up. They do eat a lot, so keeping cage clean and lots of food will be key to success and getting them to display the vibrant colors and good weight.
