they are kept similar to tokays. They can be very fast skittish little things so not very good if you want to handle them.

They are always quite cheap because nearly all the ones available are WC.

The palm geckos seem to settle into captivity more easily than the tokays and are quite easy to handle.

They seem to want more food than tokays,

Some localities have and awsome full thick white stripe while other localities only have a faded or thin line.

They will show themslevs allot more than tokays during the daytime.

They will eat any insect, and are similar in husbandry to tokays, but i would say prefer slightly more humidity generally.

It would be nice to see some more of these for sale cb.

I think they are quite readily available at the minute. My local shop has some for sale at £18 i think.

We have had them in a few times and they are very underated. Theyre lovely geckos, very fast though. Go with what Jon says regarding care, they are quite easy to keep.
