U. milii pictures

Hello everyone, I thought i would post some pictures of my new juvi thick tailed geckos. Hopefully it turns out i have a pair, and in a few years I'll be able to try breeding them.

I've got a few questions concerning these guys, first off, what is the general consensus on the genus name of this species? Nephrurus, or Underwoodisaurus? Secondly, Im currently keeping these two in seperate sistema 3L containers, using a mix of fine sand and sifted peat, in about a 75:25 ratio. They are kept unheated during the warmer months, with a larger rack style enclosure, with a heatcord for the winter months. They are fed two or three small crickets every night, with any uneaten insects taken out the following morning, as not to desturb them while they sleep during the day. Does this set up sound good to all you gecko keepers out there?
Cheers, Pat

Setup is spot on pat. They will need 7l sistemas soon.
I believe they did get moved into the Nephrurus but are now back to Underwoodisaurus.
Stunners!

I keep my adults and juvis on the same substrate.
You seem to have a good handle on it.
Do they have hides?

@Chicken: Nice fat tail on the front left one. I'll come round and relieve you of that if you like.

[Gonemad]

I don't try to breed these but if they breed, they breed my kids own the parents and they get played with way too much but they run up for them to be picked up!
I'm sure a subscriber will post some for sale soon in your area. Good luck crazycow232 just a little note you can't post a want, buy or sell unless your a subscriber.

 

[mad_at_arms]

Well if we are throwing pictures up.

 

[Heliamphora]

Yeah they have hides, as well as clean milk bottle caps which I keep filled with water by spraying them, and the sides of the tub with a spray bottle. Hw moist do you keep the substrate? The sand in that third picture looks quite wet.

 

[Crazycow232]

ok thanks gone mad

 

[lizardjasper]

Cuuuuute!!

 

[Chicken]

No need to have a wet substrate but spraying the walls / cool end is necessary. I spray all my gex every night.
