I do have 1,4 of these. Originally, I started with 4 juveniles, which all turned out to be females and it then took me a year to find a male. This spring, I tried to put them all together and till now this works out fine. The females get along well with each other (not as for other species of the genus) and all are laying eggs. I now do have lots of them and also already some Babies.
As the name applies, this gecko is a sandstone dweller and thus you need a lot of fake rock surfaces in its tank. These should include deep crevices and overhanging areas, since these guys often sit upside down. They also avoid too rugged surfaces, the overall stone surface should be pretty smooth.
Relative humidity should be high in summer with some drop in winter.
To my knowledge, these geckos have not been imported since the eighties and there are very few breeders who help to keep them avauilable. The major problem with this species is the fact that there are much much more females in the offspring then males and that the prices are way too low to encourage more brreders.
That is a pity because its an extremely beautiful species which has not tendency to hide and in captivity can be seen active day and night.
Hope this helps
Best
Ingo
