Hello there.
I’m planning to do a project work involving geckos. More specifically, I’m going to do the following.
*Pick a species of gecko to work around.
*Study its natural habitat and mimic it in a vivarium, creating a vivarium that is as natural as possible using plants native to the species locale.
Now, as I figured, there’s three problems to work around. First being, picking which species to work around. I’ve previously kept leopard geckos and phelsuma, and I’m now keeping an R. ciliatus juvenile. The species I’d like to work around should be an tropical aboreal gecko of a size that allows me to keep fragile plants such as orchids, but still not too small, as I plan to build a quite large vivarium. The plan is to go to the next event in Hamm and purchase a group of the species I decide to keep and having the vivarium ready for that date. As I see it, phelsumas would be my best shot, seeing how they’re quite plant-friendly due to their size.
The second problem is finding information about it’s habitat, since they live in such small locales. Is there any website dedicated to such information, or anyone that knows a lot about this able to help me?
The third problem, is to actually get my hands on the plants they live with.
I’ll need a lot of help from this community to pull this off, any help or tip of where to turn is appreciated!
