Nice looking animal. You need to change to sand substrate though.

Hi there!

Beautiful N. amyae!

In my experience, amyae can thrive on both sand or paper towel. Personally I like using clean, washed beach sand. Beach sand is worn by the wave action so it doesn't have jagged edges.

If you use paper towel, you will have to provide a 3-4 inch deep laybox filled with moist sand for your females to lay in.

I'm so sorry your Nephrurus amyae recently passed away, Sebi. 14.5 years is a pretty long life for a gecko. Be grateful for his longevity!

May he rest in paradise. Here's a daffodil to ease your pain.
