hi
I'm just wondering whats the best temps to cool down you geckos over winter for breeding
I've got N. Levis Levis and N. Amyae
I've tried looking for some care sheets but they don't say what temp to cool down too
thanks

The keeping and breeding geckos and pygopods book by danny brown has all of that info + more. I recommend buying it

Try 15 - 20 Celsius day , 12 - 15 Celsius night.

Danny Brown favors natural ambient temperatures on his geckos , though states Brumation can extend your geckos lifespan , by how much is not mentioned , though I think it's more that geckos will breed themselves to death and a break does help every living organism so it makes sense.

Bathurst has cold mornings and warm days so a thermostat might be useful Knoxxy.

i have this one - A Guide to...Australian GECKOS & PYGOPODS in Captivity.

$88 AU with express postage. Good Luck.
