They are cleef, very fast but if you are careful they will sit still for you.

Just have to be alert Exclamation

Hope to breed them.
Mark [owner of shop] has had eggs from them. He had 6 in I got 4 [all mum would allow]

Mum says no more, I say till after christmas lol.

Although going to get another steno next time at the reptile room! Very Happy

They'll all find their own 'spot' in the viv, you'll be about to find them easily! Mine weren't too worried about hiding, I'd see quite a lot of them. They were very greedy and appreciated two small meals a day.
Great fun geckos - good luck with them!

Hi,

Just a quick one - these are not L. picturatus, they are L. kimhowelli.

I kept these for a while, and had a free range one in my reptile room at one time. Nice little geckos...

Cheers,
Mark.

Also are they gluers or lay in the substrate?
Do they like it humid?

Anything about them would be GREAT! Very Happy
