Also if you keep these please post your tanks in this thread.

I think it looks good! Have you thought about putting a hide in or a cork round?

You know its not fun when you reply on different forums

But yes as soon as the store gets some in i will be adding a cork flat

As said more bark than bite, as in their squeaks and running is scarier than this little bite

Just so you know, in general, the care for these guys is pretty similar to tokays. Your enclosure is looking good, but as mentioned, could use some vertical hides (cork bark, bamboo tubes, PVC tubes, piece of slate leaning against the wall, etc). One would be sufficient, but several would better. Also, the water bowl is good, but do keep in mind these guys get a lot of their water from licking it up after being misted. So make user to mist well daily.

So adorable! I love you...chomp! At least the bites are nothing like the Tokays.

Ya, i mist nightly. we have 10 gecko tanks so misting is no problem. The water bowl is just there because i felt the ground was to bare. Decor more than function really. Im getting cork bark soon. Im thinging about ordering the background for this to add more texture and color to the tank.

Here is my palm geckos viv, its an exo terra 18x18x24, and he loves his cork tube under the basking spot! I aim for a basking temp (at the top of his cork tube) of 95f, but most times I find him right up under the lamp where its even hotter.

Thanks everyone
