Stenodactylus Petrii?

I am seeking more information on S. petrii. I picked up a pair yesterday and would like to know how others are keeping them.

Thanks!

A floor space of 1'x 1 1/2 is adequate for a pair or a trio. Height is of little importance. Use flat tiles (cork tiles or light, non-edgy stones) as shelters, and fine reptile sand 2-3" deep as a substrate. A 25W basking lamp in a corner and a heat mat or heat cable of low power (15-25W) should help to achieve the proper temps: up to 95°F at the basking spot, 80-82°F at the cool end. It is important to have a big temperature difference between night and day, thus turn off all heating aggregates at night. The right photoperiod should be 10 hours in winter and 14 in summer. Feed them properly gutloaded crickets, baby locusts and grasshoppers and they will thrive. No plant is needed for the gecko, the decoration is more there to please your eyes than really useful to the animals ;)
