Default Sphaerodactylus samanensis Terrarium

Hi everyone,

This is the setup I currently use for my colony of Sphaerodactylus samanensis. This is the first time I attempt to keep Sphaerodactylus in any type of naturalistic enclosure.

I first feared it would be too big for them to find their food, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

This little geckos are rock dwellers endemic to Los Haitises, a karstic region in eastern Dominican Republic characterized by rain forest growing over limestone hills.

Their black and white pattern is actually very cryptic; in a pocket of limestone and leaf litter this guys are invisible.

Marcos-

your setup is far from natural; you're missing wasp nests in the karst and undersides of the plants.

Hi,

The enclosure is very nice. Just beware of any small opening so they don't escape. I would hate for you to lose these special looking geckos. These are quite rare in captivity. You should feel privileged to work with them! I actually have wanted these for quite some time.
Hmm

Regards,
Ken
