Tessellated geckos

[trogdor1988]

Now first things first, if i spell anything wrong or dont make sense blame the booze... and the fact im all hypo and shaky cause i just caught an awesome big mangrove jack.. BUT now for the more serious questions, i may be buying some tessellated geckos soon when i see some.. does anyone know what type of set-up they need, biggest size, ease of breeding and any other general info.. or if anyone owns some can they post pics pleaaasseeee. Of enclosures and the animals themselves.

Cheers peopless

No uv needed?
Is that for all gecko species or just these guys?

quiet a number of geckos don't need UV because they are nocturnal.

**from what i understand**

i have never had a problem
some will swear you must and others will agree.
personally i havent had a problem. all i use is a small wattage heat mat to keep em warm and i dont turn that on till april
if you want light use a really low wattage bulb preferably red or blue
i think spiny tails and golden tails do like uv. not sure about that.
