bibron - pachydactylus bibroni

[tannb]

Hi I'm new to the forum but have just rehomed some baby bibron geckos. I am finding it really difficult to find good information and pictures of ideal set up for these little guys.
They are currently in a tiny exo terra and came with just a heat mat and no lighting.

Really would like to give them a real nice home so anyone who has these and can share a picture of te enclosure you have and direct me to a good care sheet I would be forever grateful

They were renamed Chondrodactylus turneri in i think 2008.

I've had a WC "pair" for 10 years, but they did not produce any eggs. The sexing can be a little tough some times. I now have added a CB female to the group and have got 4 clutches this year, none hatched yet. In my opinion, they are one of the hardiest species. Mine get everything that moves and is of appropriate size. They are killers and eat everything. Don't overfeed, they tend to get fat really quick. Water wise, i refill their bowl every week or so. That's it care wise. They are not handleable, drop tails easily, crap on you and have nasty bites, too. I have added pictures of three different stages of my vivarium for them, every one of them did work good and was nice to look at, but most plants except for sansevieria die due to the high temperature. The enclosure is 47 inches wide, 11 inches deep, and 39 inches high.

Best regards,

Brilliant enclosure. How did you make it? I've just messaged a few people to see if they could make something similar for me. I have a Turners in a 12x18 exo terra. I just brought a 3ft exo terra tank which I think would be better for him so would be to fit that.
Also, noticed that mine has been digging (def a male) and been wondering why he's doing that. Any idea's? I thought maybe not enough space (which should be sorted once I move him into the bigger tank)
Thanks
