How do I raise P. Carnatus?

They look like an interesting gecko species, and I would like to know what I need to keep them, how big they get, tank requirements, arboreal/terrestrial, etc. I'm just curious, and am still a beginner, but I still am curious.

first step is coming up with the cash to get them, after that it's pretty easy. They get between 3-4 inches I believe and care would be basically the same as any other pachy. I've got a basic care sheet on my site and I know there's other around too.

Jusng from that caresheet, they look fairly easy... How much do they normally cost (estimate for a pair)?

I think pairs are right around $600.

I saw that number and... I went blank... It always amazes me when something that small costs that much. Being a 14 year old teen, I have no income whatsoever. Looks like a great species to deal with. Good luck to all you P. Carinatus fans, I'm one of you guys now...

you might want to first try fasciatus or scuttatus, they are both around $75-100ea for juvies. Tigrinus are cool too and they're about $45ea

bibroni and turneri are both now Chondros.
