| African Fat-Tailed GeckoEnclosure Selection Health Feeding BreedingPlease note: You may notice that this care sheet is very similar to the Leopard Gecko Care Sheet. This is because the two animals require almost identical husbandry. However, there are some vital differences, so be sure to read carefully and dont assume it will all be the same. This is a very in depth and comprehensive care sheet on the general care and health of African fat-tailed geckos. Please note that it represents my opinions and is based on my own research of the topic. If you disagree with anything within the care sheet please get in contact with me. If you would like to add to it, again please get in touch. African Fat-Tailed Geckos are almost identical in care to Leopard geckos. Originating from Africa, they are tame, require less specialist equipment than other reptiles and require a comparatively small space. For someone looking to get into herps, I would recommend them in an instant. They require a simple set up, and as they are nocturnal do not require a UVB. Being insectivores they largely feed on crickets and other small insects and worms which are also active at night. African Fat-Tailed Geckos are among the family Hemitheconyx Caudicinctus. Hemitheconyx is broken down as "Hemi" which means half, and "conyx" which means box claw or nail. "half claw". Caudicinctus simply means "Banded Tail". There are a lot of good care sheets on the internet and I recommend you read a few to get a good range of information before starting out. Given the proper care they can live for many years, so be prepared for the commitment. Use the links at the top to navigate the site and feel free to contact me with any suggestions for the site or with any questions you may have. I will be updating and adding to it regularly.
