Habitat:
- Heating:26 - 30 degrees C

- Environment:Secure lid. Sandy substrate deep enough to burrow. There should be a 'moist' end to the enclosure, where the sand clumps well enough for the gecko to build a burrow.

Feeding: Crickets and woodies dusted with vitamin supplement
Additional Comments: These geckos are sexually dimorphic, with the females being large enough for males to climb on 'piggyback' style.
