The temperature at daytime ranges from 28-30 degree Celsius directly under the spots (in the cork bark) down to 22-24 degree (in the moist caves and shelters) on the bottom. At nightime the temperature in the whole enclosure is about 20 degree Celsius.

As the top of the enclosures is covered with wire gauze only, you have perfect air ventilation and the temperatures won't get to high.

What are the white boxes for?

Those are egg-laying boxes, and the females use them by 100%.

What do you use as substrate in the egg-laying boxes?

And is the "way in" the hole on top?

Netten Gruss

The boxes contain a mixture of moist soil and sand, and the hole on the top provides that feeder insects will get in and damage the eggs before they get digged in by the females.

GREAT setup Thomas

What about the humidity in the cages? I see that you use live plant - do you have them potted out in the bedding or in pots? Do you spray them regularly or just water the plants?

[modoki]

Thanks Jan, I only use live plants in pots. I have never sprayed any of my enclosures as we have very hard water here and I don't want to get the enclosures spotted with lime spots. I provide drinking bowls in each enclosure and reach the humidity by watering the plants and the caves.
The humidity varies from 70-80%, which is quite enough for them. It Is much more important for the geckos to get them always a moist hiding place.

Hi Thomas

Thanx for the information. As for the moist hiding spots. I reckon that they also use the laying boxes for this right?

Do you keep pairs or trios in the enclosures and what are the measurements for these?

A nice genus indeed

[modoki]

Yes you are right, Jan. I keep pairs or max. trios in each enclosure.
They measure 45(l) x 50(w) x 50(h) cm. As they love to climb very much,
the cages shouldn't be to flat.

Thanx a lot Thomas - that made it clear for the moment
