Well....:roll:
I have several questions about these geckos:
1. How old they must be to reach maturity?
2. Do they vocalize if they have no mate in enclosure or in
close environment?
3. Is it normal for them to be more active at day then at night?
4. Do they need UV lights?

Age of maturity is based on many factors such as food quality and quantity, temperature, humidity, etc. About 9 months to one year should do it though under good care.

I keep mine in trios, and to be quite honest mine are fairly quiet.

They are most active in the late evening to around midnight in the wild, in your home this schedule will greatly depend on how you time their night and day.

They do not need UVB, although if you decide to use it consider using the lowest output available and an exo terra light cycle unit. When the light begins to dim they may get some exposure to the UVB, they are not very likely to come out under bright lights.

Thanks Maurice.

Finally someone to respond.

Could you send some pics of the enclosure for the trios?

It'll be another week or so (my daughter has the good camera), but sure.
