You said Geckos help, my names GeckoRider therefore you asked me and my fellow geckos for help. but seriously I have no valuable input

To answer all your questions for every available species it would take me more time than I am willing to give lol.
Let us know a couple of species that you want to keep the most and I will give you the information you are after

Thanks Josh

Knob tailed gecko

Rough or Smooth as price varies depending on which type/s

Smooth

Smooth

Do you mean Levis levis?

Do you mean Levis levis?

Yeaah

Yeaah

Levis start at around $100, they are quite common, especially during breeding season.
Most breeders keep them in tubs with roughly 25x40cm floor space, they do well with an inch or so of sand and a couple of moist hides. For heating a hot end of 32 and a cool end of 25 is ideal.

Will a single heat mat be a good heat source ?

Will a single heat mat be a good heat source ?

As long as it is big enough to provide a proper heat gradient

my heat mats take up around 1/3 - 1/4 of total area.

So womaboy... do you have any woma hatchlings? I'll trade you a smooth knob-tailed for one? :lol:

On a serious note, pm me as I have some available.

 

[WomaBoy]

Okay thanks heaps and i think i have one sorted but ill pm you if it falls thru thyla

Hey guys, will this be a good heating source ? Is it better than buying a thermostat and a heat mat separate ??http://www.amazingamazon.com.au/thermo-heat-pad-mat.html
