Description

Yellow-Headed Geckos – Gonatodes albogularis (1.1 Pair)

A captive-bred male and female pair of small diurnal geckos, with the strong sexual colour differences typical of this species.

Housing

Provide a secure vertically structured enclosure with bark, foliage, narrow refuges and multiple usable surfaces. Pair housing should still be monitored; a male/female pair is not automatically compatible indefinitely simply because the animals are sold together.

Temperature and humidity

The previous page gave 24–26°C and “moderate humidity” as a complete care summary. Those can be useful practical starting conditions in some setups, but the enclosure should provide a gradient rather than one uniform reading. Avoid persistent overheating and stagnant, constantly wet conditions.

Lighting and UVB

Good visible-spectrum lighting and a normal day/night cycle are appropriate. If UVB is provided, use controlled exposure with access to shade and assess the actual lamp, distance and enclosure structure rather than relying on “UVB recommended” as a complete prescription.

Feeding

Offer appropriately sized live prey such as small crickets and fruit flies. If isopods are offered as prey, do not rely on the bioactive population as the geckos’ primary food source. Use supplementation appropriate to the complete diet.

Mixed-species note

This listing does not recommend keeping these geckos with dart frogs or other amphibians simply because their environmental ranges appear similar. Mixed-species housing adds competition, predation and disease-management risks.
