This is his viv at the moment, in a few weeks when he is bigger we will add cork bark tubes to it.

He is between 7 and 10 cm long.
The plants are Ficus and Cypress. How the other plant is called i don't know. But we have they same in our U. Henkeli viv and they are very hardy.
We also have metrosideros excelsa at home, but that one is a little bit to big for the viv. We will also get him Leptospermum scoparium in the spring.
The lighting is a 15 watt spot light, but it makes it only a few degrees warmer, no UV.

Awesome photo's Debbie!
Naultinus love small leaf shrubs like Coprosma propinqua. If you google the names you'll be able to find some similar plants. Leptospernum is great, they live on this in the wild. Think small leaves & you'll have a VERY happy gecko. In the wild they love to shelter amongst dense clumps of vegetation, where plants have a tangle of leaves & branches. This is the same for my own captive New Zealand geckos.
Check out these baby Naultinus grayi - very cool & sooo cute!

Thanks for sharing.
They are fantastic looking
I wish everyone was able to enjoy more of the species available in other regions.

Not to many people get a chance to see species like these even in Zoos because they think that the smaller animals are not big public draws.

Myself when I go to a Zoo it is straight to the Reptile and Amphibians. Then off to see the rest of animals
