I recently picked up a baby from my friend Katie (who previously introduced me to Binoei).
I was looking for more info on them, which seems to be pretty limited.

At what age can you sex them, and is it similar to sexing Cresties and Gargs?

Sexing can be done as soon as they are 6-8 months old. Males have relatively easy to see bulges. They are rock-hardy and breeding machines. I keep trios (1:2) in 50x30x50 (20"x12"20") enclosures, with coconut chips as a substrate, no UVB, a plain good old 40W bulb as heating and basking spot, one from the supermarket will do. Nights at 20-22°C, days from 25°C at the cool end to 36°C under the basking spot, but their tolerance to heat variations is huge as long as you never go under 16°C. They don't need brumation to breed. Eggs are laid in the substrate. I use 2 shallow water dishes per enclosure, stout fruit tree branches with rough bark, cork bark pannels for the sides and background, and flat vertical rocks as hides. Not too much humidity, 2 sprayings on the evening per week are sufficient. Feed adult house crickets or small locusts, dusted with Miner-All I on every feeding. As simple as that. I published a short article in Gekko 6.2 on this species, you may ask Leann Christensen, the day gecko breeder in Alabama, if she still has copies left for sale.
