Dwarf yellow/white headed geckos.

Was in the local pet shop today and saw some of these little critters for sale. I just wondered if there are any keepers of these here?

Scientific name Lygodactylus luteopicturatus I think.

Cheers

we've got some white heads! they are teeny tiny lil things even as adults! think we are talkin about the same ones, they have a blue body with black stripes on n a creamy coloured head with black markings on?

[xXFooFooLaFluffXx]

did they look like this? this is the white headed, this isnt ours but we have a trio of these ones

[Gaboon]

Yeah this sound like the ones! I just found out L. picturatus are the white headed dwarfs and L. luteopicturatus are the yellow headed.

Anyway I think they look cool, have you had yours long? Any eggs?

[xXFooFooLaFluffXx]

mmmmm.....had ours about a month or 2. one was definately pregnant n very fat.....now she aint very fat n i cant find the bloody eggs lol they are tiny tiny eggs n they glue them anyways so im just keepin ma eye out for lil geckos climbin the walls hehe. not handlable obviously cos of speed and size but they are nice to look at and dont take up much room or cost to feed, though they do need a uv light

[Gaboon]

TYPICAL GECKOS: LYGODACTYLUS is the best i could find. I dont think there are any general care sheets online. There are some herpetological papers but they are all on taxonomy which doesnt really help us a great deal.
