Sphaerodactylus argus

[Yann]

Hello!!

Finally the last one from Hamm, Sphaerodactylus argus

Not the most stricking colour but still a very nice species and pretty fast also!!

Male from hexentanz

Female from Dendrophel

I can see an egg in the female. Rather timid species compare with the 2 others I got but very nice!!

Cheers
Yann

 

[hexentanz]

Nice! Especially the male!

Give them sometime, they will get used to you, esp the female.

 

[Yann]

Yes the male is really nice!!

They venture around a bit more...being a bit less shy!!
Cheers

Yann, I'm contemplating picking up two pairs of these guys. and I figured I could ask you for a little insight towards the species before I decide on getting them. Could you by chance tell me how you have them set up? Temp, humidity, enclosure size and feeding if you don't mind. You've had such a huge amount of success with all these species, and I figured I should ask one of the better keepers.

Hi!!

Just make sure to keep them in pairs only, 1.1 together, they have high level of agressivity towards conspecific of same sex.

I keep my pair in a 20cm cube with lots of bark pieces.
I mist once in a while...(should be around 60%)
I always leave a small cap of water.
(for argus)

Otherwise the others are in bigger tanks 30 cube or even 60-45-45 (2 species together)
With these I mist everynight

Feeding 2-3 times a week.

I can only encourage you to check Zwerggeckos.com
Most of mine are coming from Dennis, and basically all I know about them I found it there!!
Cheers
Yann

That's a nice looking pattern on that young Sphaerodactylus argus. Pretty cool, nice pics.

 

[Yann]

A species that thrives home, with eggs and young quite regulary
For sure one recommanded species for who wants to start with this genus

cheers
