Eyelash gecko-banano-eating in the pet store "LIVOY WORLD"

One of the representatives of the gecko family is the Ciliated banana-eater. It is not in vain that he received such a name - his eyes are framed by a series of thorns that look like cilia, and he loves to eat bananas. He lives in tropical rainforests, leads an arboreal lifestyle. This lizard was considered extinct for a long time until it was discovered in the forests of New Caledonia, at present, this species is often found in terrarium collections. The gecko grows up to 20 cm, has a triangular head and a graceful body, very easily loses its tail, which, unfortunately, does not regenerate. The ciliated banana-eater is a tree lizard, so they need a vertical type terrarium. They can live alone, in pairs or in a group of 1 male and 2-3 females. Since this lizard lives in a humid climate, it is necessary to maintain a high level of humidity in the terrarium. This can be achieved by using a suitable substrate such as coco, sphagnum, moss, peat, and spraying the terrarium generously twice a day. It is necessary to ensure that the soil is always wet, you can pour half a glass of water on the soil once a week. It is rational to plant live plants in the terrarium that help maintain moisture, and on which the gecko will climb with pleasure. The average background temperature in the terrarium is 24-25, in the heating zone 29, night temperature is 22-23 degrees. Heating is carried out by installing a lamp on top of the terrarium or a thermal mat attached to the side wall.
