For sale in our Iver reptile shop
Age: CB Adult
Sex: Female
Handling: Will tolerate handling, unlike a lot of other micro gecko species
Suitability: Well-researched beginner
Average Adult Size: 3-4 inches
Average Lifespan: 10-15 years
Natural Habitat: Rocky, dry areas of Western Pakistan and India
Viper Geckos do well in 2ft long enclosures. They should be provided with thermostatically controlled overhead heating, with basking temperatures reaching 32-35c measured with a digital thermometer or heat gun for accuracy. Low-level shade dweller UV lighting is beneficial.
They have an ambient humidity requirement of 30-50%, which can be achieved with an overall dry habitat with humid microclimates within hides filled with moist sphagnum moss.
