Viper Geckos
We have been working with these little geckos since 2002. They're a hardy
little terrestrial gecko that originate from the middle east. Their care is
very simple. They are nocturnal so they do not require UVA or UVB lighting.
They can be kept in a five gallon tank or in a plastic shoe box that is well
ventilated. We use heat tape to heat the bottoms of their cages, we keep the
heated side at 90 degrees Fahrenheit and the cool side of the cage at room
temperature ( mid 70 degrees Fahrenheit). We use paper towels for the
bottom of their enclosure and cut up Dixie cups for them to hide under. We
always have a shallow water bowl available that they can access, and they
need to be misted once a day. Babies hatch out at about 3/4 inch long and
they feed on 1/8 size crickets and fruit flies as babies. They can reach adult
size in 4-5 months and we feed our adult viper geckos 1/2 size crickets. Males
can be kept together, our breeding groups consist of two males with five females
in a breeding group. They are very prolific, females lay two eggs per clutch
normally every week and can easily lay fifteen to twenty clutches a breeding
season.
Breeding project is currently on hold.
