I recently, unexpectedly came into possession of H. platyurus. I couldn't really find care sheets specific to that one species, so I wanted to confirm that standard "house gecko" care sheets apply:
- Is a 10g placed on end (to make it more vertical than horizontal) sufficient space for a single specimen?
- 75-90 gradient during the day?
- UVB: not needed since the species is nocturnal?
- Prefer to drink droplets rather than from a bowl?

I have the little dude set up according to those parameters for now, but will happily change anything to better suit its needs.

Thank you in advance. I didn't really want/need this guy, but now that he's here I'd like to do well for him, even if only for long enough to find him a new home.

I think that is ok as i have have kept mine in the same enclosure for about a year.

make sure the humidity is high like 70 percent to keep him hydrated.
feed him crickets too.

i think thats good but im not really experienced im just telling u what i have.

I provide UVA/B lighting only because mine have been active during the day quite a bit. Other than that everything you are doing sounds good to me. I mist the terrarium two/three times a day giving everything a good soaking.

Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback folks. I do think I'll be keeping "Zoon," so it's good to know that I seem to be on the right track.
