feed every 2 days small crickets. use uv light heat pad in winter. hard to breed cause they only have 1-2 eggs i'm only a newbie too might be wrong but thats what i do with my detllas geckos

As they hide during the day, I dont use a light at all - as I feel they dont need it...
And only provide heat during winter, as it get plenty warm enough up here is summer....
And the book keeping australian Geckos is great - I like it that much I have pinched my daughters.....

do not all reptiles need uv light? i never see my geckos abit there a boring

Most geckos are nocturnal - so why would they need uv light....
They are not out in the day time to take advantage of it......
At night time if I want to watch them, I use a infra red bulb - although mine are used to having the room light on occasionally - when I feed them'
I love watching them hunt for the crickets....
