Hiya,

Gargoyles are very easy to keep. They can be kept at room temperature, with a good misting in the evening, can be fed on Crested Gecko Diet which is a meal replacement powder. They can also have (and love) live food, like locusts or crickets. Adults can be kept in a 45x45x60 exoterra (for a pair or trio) and babies can be kept in something smaller to allow them easier access to food. Moist eco earth should be the substrate, with lots of branches and foliage to keep them feeling secure. No additional lighting is required as they are nocturnal, but allowing them to be in a room with natural daylight is important to let them get their natural cycles.
I am also located in Scotland (Edin) and breed these geckos.

Anna

care is pretty much identical to crested geckos and crested gecko care sheets are easy to find online.

However gargoyles get bigger than cresties and are more aggressive towards each other so its even more important to keep them seperate until breeding size.
