I was thinking about putting a small mirror in there and seeing their reaction to it, should be interesting.

I have them both in one enclosure but it is divided by a piece of clear plastic sheet. It's amusing to watch them hunt crickets on the other side of the plastic sheet and then look very confused when they bump into the plastic and not have the tasty cricket meal they expected!

Its just a precaution while there is such a size difference between them, whilst they might get along, if Andre decided he didn't like Dexter, Dexter would be in biiiiig trouble Hopefully Dexter will catch up a bit in size over the next few months and I can remove the divider.

The book Keeping Australian Gecko's by Rob Porter would be a good start It has lots of general Gecko care info and a page on specific Amyae care.

Hey DanNG, the care requirements are pretty much the same as a N. levis levis so you can look at care sheets for those. Hope this helps.

 

[ryanm]

Good point njb, only differences are the Amyae don't need the same depth of sand as they aren't burrowers and can handle lower humidity than Levis I believe.

Brilliant, thanks - what's the going rate?
