Enclosure For Knob Tailed Gecko's -(N.Levis)-

[Driake]

I have a 40cm x 60cm x 60cm Enclosure would this be suitable enough for a pair or more Knob Tailed's...?
And could i get some tips on how to decorate...?
Thanks all replies muchly appreciated, Brett.

Fine for a pair.
Sand on the bottom, put it in nice and deep, 10-15cm.
Fake plants, bits of wood, water bowl, just make sure they can't dig under anything and have it fall on them and crush them.
You can even use real plants if you want to set up lighting for them.

is it better to use a heat lamp or use heatmats magpie...?
and what plants would go well with them...?
Thanks,

[Magpie]

I don't know Driake, I don't have to heat mine
I'd suggest some guzmanias or cryptanthus in pots, with the pots sunk into the sand so they are stable, but can be taken outside for a while if you want to have real plants. Or pothos would probably go well too.

[Driake]

What type of lighting would i need for the plants if any..?

[Magpie]

Full spectrum plant lighting.
I prefer to use fake plants myself.

I use both, they go fine with just a heat mat, but do better with lamp as the deepness of the sand filters out the haet from a mat.

[Driake]

Thanks, what else do i need to do...?

[JasonL]

nothing else, simple is best, not to many cage furnishings as they arn't super predators and will have trouble finding food. I raise all hatchies in small 300mm square enclosures with 50mm of sand, water bowl and a hide, sitting on a heat mat, fed every day, then when three quarter size they go into adult enclosures with a bit more decoration.
