@Ishunden

I give 2-3 crickets (head size or smaller)every 2-3 days

aw they're so cute. . . btw those geckos aren't from the desert. they're from woods so their substrate should be switched with coconut fiber or bark chips nyway thats what i heard from magazine i have. . .

[sammykiller]

i have like 30 p.picta´s and no problems so far with the substrate...but thx anyway ;)

[sammykiller]

Definitely a little cutie. We've got one as well. This was a nice video.

@gekperson Very late, but adding here. Some don't prefer sand for these guys because it may not help hold in humidity as much, also a lot of people have a fear of impaction with sand. Though it is not forbidden and some people do use it.

We have a pictus as well and we use coconut fiber too. And I would recommend it if anyone asked me about it. ^_^ We like how it looks and smells very natural and apparently does not have much risk of impaction.

@PudzBug Everywhere I've read says to use a 10 gallon. But I believe you can also keep more than one together in a 10. Also, 10 gallon long would be better than 10 gallon tall as these geckos are terrestrial. They may fall and get hurt, so for them to have room and access to climb too high would not be necessary anyway. And the longer terrarium would give them more room to roam around on the ground.

@TheIronEyez Have you tried looking and asking around at any of the gecko/reptile forums? They're not nearly as popular as leopards and cresteds, so may be harder to find. But they're out there! We've got one. Also, you may be aware of this but I'm mentioning in case... If you get a pair and want to house them together, two males together wouldn't be advised. And malexfemale should probably only be kept together briefly at a time, as they are very prolific and she can be bred to illness or death

[TheIronEyez]

Where do you get these guys at? Ive been looking every and cant find them but i would love to have a pair.

[PudzBug]

Hey what size tank do you keep them in I have a 5 gallon could I get one?
