Asian Acrobats

Species
Skunk gecko Gekko vitatus
Flying gecko Ptychozoon kuhli

This combination is for display only. They should be around the same size so one cannot eat the other (DON’T MIX BABIES WITH ADULTS). They should be housed in a vertically oriented vivarium at least 20 gallons (the bigger the better) as both species are aboreal. The temperature should be kept between 85 and 70 degrees F. The humidity level should be between 65%-70%. This can be achieved by misting the vivarium twice daily and having a partially covered screen top. The vivarium should be well planted with a variety of climbing opportunities. Visible barriers such as hollow logs should be placed in the enclosure to give them privacy.

Both species eat crickets and will lap up small amounts of fruit or honey. All food items should be dusted with calcium. Clean fresh water should be provided in a bowl daily this will also help with the humidity. There should be only one male of either species as males will fight to the death. Both of these animals should not be handled often as this can lead to stress.

These are two beautiful lizards and if given the right setup and plants it can make for a beautiful and exotic tropical display vivarium.
