Is this somebody could tell me the settings to raise Sphaerodactylus parvus and sputatus?
thank you

Sphaerodactylus parvus and sputator would both do well in a tank minimum size of 20x20x30cm. Be sure that it is escape proof as they can squeeze through small gaps. Temps should be 24-28C (bottom to top) throughout the tank and humidity should be 70-80% during the day and can safely rise during nightfall. They like a sand/soil mixture (JBL Terra Ground is a nice one).

They feed off micro crickets, firebrats, small waxmoths, woodlice, springtails and fruitflies.

Females should be provided with a small bowl of cuttlefish bone replaced once weekly.

Tanks should be decorated with cork bark pieces.

Mist once daily. No UVB should be provided to them as it is fatal!!! A simple T5HE lamp or two can be provided in color 840 or 650.

Sph. sputator is a nocturnal Sphaerodactylus, so take care to mist and feed short before nightfall.

Maureen thank you very much for your answer.

no UVB for both species?
there 's no trouble keeping them in a trio?

I started in the genre Sphaerodactylus, so I would avoid errors.

No UVB in whole for all Sphaerodactylus, same applies to Gonatodes which are similar.

Keeping in pairs only is best advised. Females can be equally as aggressive towards females as males to male.

Also never keep more than one type in a tank. trying to house more than one kind usually always results in death.

I breed Gonatodes albogularis fuscus and they UVB I students in the same way as my Phelsuma.
