Default Cyrtodactylus pulchellus / Cyrtodactylus intermedius care sheets

I will be gathering information on these two species for the website. If anyone has information on the populations kept in captivity (most likely all Malaysian) please feel free to share here, i will transfer at least the most factual information to the site.
Also any quality pictures would be used and labeled as yours. I will be contacting Montri as well, hopefully he will have some new insight to the "Malaysian" C. intermedius?

It's a shame that people can't take a few minutes of their time to help give you a bit of information. I don't work with C. intermedius, but it's my understanding that they are kept in similar fashion to Cat Cackos (A. felinus) but with larger enclosures. Here's a decent A. Felinus caresheet you can read:
Malaysian Cat Gecko (Aeluroscalabotes felinus) Care Sheet - Geckos Unlimited

I also suggest that you read through the old posts here to get an idea of what other keeper/breeders are doing. There's not always an "easy bake recipe" caresheet for every species. Sometimes you have to dig around to get the info that you need.

Hope this helps

Riverside Reptiles, this post was to gather information and no one came forward so I basically responded on that issues and to give others a heads up if they want to take on the project. It is very hard to share information on the Cyrtodactylus intermedius out of Malaysia because as of now, they do not come from these locals scientifically. C. intermedius comes from Thailand and Cambodia with limited habitat. The ones found in Malaysia are not described by any scientist and are via word of mouth from a small area and only happened to make it in our hands due to "bug collectors" in that area, Otherwise they would be rare, delicate and expensive.

I can tell you, they are different in requirements from the Cat Gecko (A. felinus) in the fact that A.felinus is a rainforest gecko with higher humidity needs. This can be at various altitudes depending on local variants. The C. intermedius, including one out of Malaysia based on local data I have, comes from Seasonal Evergreen forests (East side of range) with limited altitudes, not reaching lowland habitat or highland habitat where much of our more sought after species come from. This habitat tends to have different geological material and plant type and geckos show more climbing and cave/rock type colors than others of the Pulchellus complex; but I don't know their habitat or behaviors of that particular area in any details other than captive observation.

I have gave much of my finding to Lee Grizmer with him questioning the possibility of any of this information valid and have also gave much to Montri Sumontha with a much better response. So far he has found much new information in Thailand Cyrtodactylus, including many new descriptions including the Pulchellus Complex, but still no information on the C. intermedius "Malaysia". Hopefully, before the land is destroyed, someone will have the time to field study this group.

I know its not a caresheet, but maybe it will be a start for someone who has the few minutes to put one together.
