Smooth Knob-Tailed Gecko
| Place of Origin and Range | This species is found in the arid regions of the Eyre Peninsula and southern Western Australia |
| Description | Sand coloured gecko, it varies from red to pinkish grey. The skin is quite smooth. The belly is white and the head is broad and distinct. |
| Morph Patterns Available | Yes |
| Adult Size | Can grow up to 4 in ( 10 cm ) |
| Accommodation | A hide to help regulate temperature along with a day basking spot at 80'F(27'C). Always include a dish big enough for bathing, but not big enough to drown in. Cover the sides of the cage when possible to prevent injury to your gecko from running into glass. |
| Lifespan | Can live 8+ years |
| Feeding / Diet | feeding primarily on insects. |
| Other Considerations | Healthy geckos with appropriate living conditions shed regularly. They shed completely and often eat their shed to the point where the keeper may not even notice that the gecko has shed. Some geckos experience shedding problems occasionally and others chronically have difficulty shedding. Signs of shedding difficulty range from large sheets of shed clinging to the head, tail or limbs to residual shed left around the eyes, on the tail tip or the toes. This shed must be removed since it can cause constrictive damage to the extremities. All geckos require calcium to maintain strong bones and vitamin D3 to aid in metabolizing the calcium. Calcium is generally supplied in powdered form in a bowl, through dusted feeders or as an ingredient in fruit. |
