Whuut? You put 4 Gonatodes and some Paroeduras in one tank?? :shock:

 

[Geckofresh]

Hi
no, no ... never... i will put 1.1 gonatodes occellatus and some paroedura androyensis in the vivarium.
"4" is in the meaning of "for"
vivarium (4) / (for) gonatodes occelatus and paroedura androyensis

HI

[Geckofresh]

I don't know how I would feel about this.. Gonatodes IMO are best kept in pairs. These two animals are from very different parts of the world, and I usually do not agree with keeping multiple species in the same enclosure. The Androyensis may also be out competed for food. They are much slower, and fairly timid, in comparison to Gonatodes and Sphaeros. If you could set up one nice enclosure like that, why not have two next to each other?

That's exactly what I would say... ;-)

First I wanted to put only Uroplatus. But these animals are so expensive and our house does not have the temperature falls at night.
It's easier for me to rise the temperature at day with a bright sun and let it down to 20 degrees / °C at night. This winter the hole house was nearly at 20 °C.
That is why I don't wanna keep uroplatus.

So now to your question. ...
Do you know a better "animal-combination". I like the gonatodes and i was searching for an animal at night... The temperature and humidity are comparable with each species. So I think that it could be ok.
If you know that it's not a good idea tell me please.

"two species next to each other" - in the meaning of: separate the enclosure in two parts? or two species of the same region in the world...
if it is the second meaning... which phelsuma live in the south east of madagascar? or which nocturnal species live in the northern part of south america?

No, in the meaning of: two enclosures! :roll: One for each species...

I Keep Gonatodes ocellatus und Paroedura androyensis together for years and both species are fine. They are reproducing and they almost never meet each other, because P.androyensis is only active when it is realy dark. On the other Hand, I know about the discussions around cohousing etc. It's the choise of the owner, as far as it doesn’t bother the animals. Because if you get started on this, you also have to use plants of the original Habitat only etc. I don't know if this is necessary... From a biological Point of view it's Kind of nice to try and do the "original only thing". From the "geckos point of view" it doesn't matter at all.
best regards

I dont like cohousing at all, for reasons SHzac meantioned above.But theres good experiences around with housing andros with other species with similiar needs, so guess its alright and i can understand the cool side of cohousing aswell. Just not feelin it

Hi
I didn't want to comment more about this discussion...
thank you Sacha.
I just wanted to post a nice lookin' vivarium...
I hope that everyone can enjoy it and think about their own future vivariums, because this one was not much work...
