Diet: Crickets, Butter Worms, Phoenix Worms,
and other grubs. Make sure to dust the insects with
a multi-vitamin supplement as they will not get
the natural vitamins they would from a diverse diet
in the wild. They should also be offered fruit baby
food.
Adult size: 4- 5 inches long.
Dwarf Yellow Head Geckos are some of the most fascinating
small geckos out there. They are arboreal and diurnal.
Love to climb, coming down to the ground only to
feed if have to but prefer to feed on Fruit Flies
and glass climbing cockroaches. They love to back
by the heat lamp. Though a UVB light is not required
necessary, it’s good to turn it on ones in
a while to help with digestion of Calcium and Bone.
It’s very important to dust the feeders in
multi-vitamins every second feeding. If fed Calcium
too often, it is possible for them to develop Stones
which will prevent them from urinating, thus followed
by death. Males are quite territorial, so no more
then one per cage should be kept.
They seem to prefer to be kept at 82- 88*F, with
humidity ranging from 20- 60% thru out the day.
The cage must have lots of plants as Dwarf Yellow
Head Geckos will use them for hiding and will reduce
their stress. Ventilation is important to keep the
mould from causing any problems.
