Have you tried confirming the species with a Google search?

There are some GU instructions on posting pictures in the FAQs post by mod Graham_S, a sticky at the top of the leopard gecko subforum.

Up to now all the info that i have i got from Google search, and that is why i'm 99%sure that it is a tiger gecko.
In one of the sights that i read it also seems that it could be ( a hybrid between Pachydactylus capensis and P. tigrinus.).but im not sure, although the picture on google and the live one looks very much the same.

Will do more searching and come back to u. And as soon as i get the photo posting figuerd, i will post a pic.

If you want, i've make a little care sheet on my website: http://eloetgeo.e-monsite.com/rubriq...s,1508916.html

But it's in french, you can see on some pics of my P. tigrinus which are the mozambic form.

For the tanks of my, on the floor it's some sand with flat rocks, with vertical hollow trunk, small branch, a bit of synthetic plants, 1 little succulent plant on the cold side.

A little bowl of water, a bowl for the worms and a little plate for the calcium (CaCo3+D3)

For the temperatures, on the hot spot it's 40°c and 25°c on the cold spot. On the night it's 20°c.

I pu some water as a little rain 1 times a week.

Lke that it seems to be cool for them, 5 babies at the moment and 4 eggs which will hatch ^^

If you need more, it's with pleasure that i'll help you.

See you.

geo

hi gila,

I think that you can use all the kinds of succulent plants (except cactus) cause i've never see my P. tigrinus trying to eat vegetables.

You can take every aloe, rock plants, those look likes little tree.
