Umm, my brother bought a marble gecko few days ago, and it was identified as Gecko monarchus which I understand is not a marble gecko. Neverthless I want to know the caresheet for them. Does anyone know one?

Congrats, very nice geckos and the hatchlings look great with their golden speckles.
Monarchus is among the easiest to keep and hardiest geckos at all and will thrive under any semihumid to humid setup.
Have a tank for a smaller tokay in mind and nothing will go wrong.
A few things are less nice about monarchus: They are and stay very shy and secretive and you will not see them very often. 2nd, males tend to be quite aggressive , especially older ones. Sometimes, they chase their females and since sexual size dimorphism in this species is the largest within the genus, this easily ends up with a dead female. I have a 12 year old male, which can only be kept alone. he kills any other animal within a day and even attacks much larger noncongenital cagemates, I tried. He killed several females (hurts, because I never had plenty of these and they are not easy to get elsewhere) before I decided to leave him alone for the rest of his life.
Also they are very fast and I have monarchus escapees more often than from any other Gekko species. It is also not easy, to catch them again, thus take care.

Well my brother's got a female and she was quiet nice thing. But it seems to be fairly large in size. Also is it a correct term to call it a Marble Gecko? I will post a picture so you can clearly identify it.

monarch gecko, named for the pattern on the back - looks like butterflies.
