Hi im wondering if you can help me i recently got myself a yucatan banded gecko which is very rare over here in the uk i am on the lookout for a female for him but unsure if other banded geckos can go in with him or is it just a yucatan. Also i have looked everywhere for a care sheet to check all is how it should be in his viv. If someone can help me that would be great.

You should check out the Coleonyx (banded gecko) section of the forum. I keep C. variegatus, as opposed to the C. elegans that you have. I'm not familiar with the specifics of C. elegans, though I do know that one of the Coleonyx species (either C. elegans or C. mitratus) needs more humidity. In general, Coleonyx are kept very similarly to leopard geckos, though on a smaller scale, so if you read a care sheet about leopard geckos, you can follow that advice. In addition, Gecko Time did an article about Coleonyx where 3 people described their set-ups. I think there's contact info for the contributors. Check it out here: Three to Get Ready: Coleonyx | Gecko Time. At least 1 contributor talks about his C. elegans setup.
I would suggest not mixing Coleonyx species (though there shouldn't be a problem housing the subspecies together).
