Fat Tailed Geckos (Hemitheconyx Caudicinctus) are native to Africa. This species is large and robust with specimens reaching 100 grams or so.

We keep fatties at a ambient temp. of 85 degrees with a hotspot of 90 degrees. The humidity is set at 70% or so. They feed readily on mealworms, crickets, and waxworms. Cypress mulch and sphagnum peat moss are our substrates of choice for these guys.

We currently produce a fair number of these great animals annually. They come in a variety of patterns and colors, banded, striped, banded albinos, and striped albinos. We are at the point now due to continual selective breeding that most of our Albinos have evolved into a nice "tangerine" or "super tangerine" coloration. Although we do also produce peach phase albinos and "leucistic" albinos.
