so you have 2 Cb animals which need a humid rainforest enviroment and stick a WC (techincly) gecko you know nothing about in with them? not real good for the gecko that aside what about your tincs? parasites agression from the gecko all sorts of things to affect and infest your tincs! Rolling Eyes

I'm not sure, I mean, do you know at least what country it's from? Doesn't look like it would be from the type of environment that your darts are from though, probably a lot drier climate species (just a guess).

My suggestion is to remove it!

pretty certain its Hemidactylus mabouia a species of house gecko. i have to agree that i probably wouldn't keep it with them either due to the reasons stated by others.

cheers, will
