I've got a 1.1 of P. vazimba, but I've some question about the temperature, the umidity and the lethargy in these geckos. someone tell me that they need a hot spot at 35 °C (95 F) all the year, no spray in winter and one at week in summer. but i find that in their habitat the hot temperature (January) is 30 °C (86 F) and in summer they arrive to 16 °C (60.8 F). so I think that maybe the temperature that someone advised me is wrong.
thank you.

None?

I kept mine in the low 80's during the day with a drop to the low 70's at nite. I misted 3 times a week, or so. They did very well.

you can keep them like a small version of uroplatus guentheri, or paroedura stumpfii, they like a hot spot at 30-35°c during the hot and wet season

the conditions your friend gives you (esp spraying frequence) are more adapted for paroedura androyensis that lives in the harsh south of mada

thank for both the answers! so david how many spray do you recommend?

I neglected to mention that a corner of their enclosure rested on a florescent ballast, giving them a small localized hot spot of 90 or so degrees, during the day. They would often be found hiding in the hot area.

I think I'll keep them at 87-91 as hot spot and one spray at week...

can I put them together (both adults) and fit permanently or , like good Paroedura, I would find the female undone for too many pairs? or on the contrary would have limited success in reproduction? would still have a large terrarium for their size but I don't know...

I used to spray mine every other days during spring and summer, and 2 times a week during autumn and winter when the temps are down
I let the enclosure dry between two spraying during the wet season

like with others paroedura (and most of little hard shelled layers geckos) I suggest you to separate the male when the female is laying much eggs

I disorder you for some nutrition information, I give them 8 ****roaches every two days, two out of three times I give them Calcium + D3 leaving the calcium always available. I would like to know how much food and how integrated dates also if you use some multivitamins
