Care, breeding and tankmates
Terrarium Setup: Arboreal setup is required (minimum 45x45x60 cm). Furnish with live plants (Pothos, Sansevieria) and climbing branches. Use coco-coir or peat substrate. Food and water dishes should be elevated.
Lighting and Heating: Keep temperatures between 22-26°C. Avoid temperatures above 28°C. Do not use bottom heating mats or hot rocks. Provide a low-intensity 5% UVB light.
Humidity and Hydration: Maintain high humidity (60-80%) with a daily drying period. Spray the terrarium with fresh water every evening; geckos will drink droplets from leaves and their own eyes.
Feeding and Supplementation: Primary diet consists of commercial powdered fruit-based replacement diets (Repashy/Pangea) mixed with water. Supplement once or twice a week with calcium/D3-dusted crickets or roaches.
Compatibility: Peaceful when kept alone. Males are territorial and should never be housed together. Females can sometimes be kept together in larger tanks.
Health and Common Diseases: May drop their tail (autotomy) under high stress, rough handling, or tail grabbing. The tail does not regenerate. Prevent skin rot by ensuring proper ventilation.

The catalog's scalar value is 13 cm. The ReptTraits v1.2 source reports a maximum adult measurement of 13 cm for this species, recorded as snout–vent length (SVL). These figures are not interchangeable: the first is the profile's editorial reference, whereas the second is a published maximum under a specific measurement convention; differences among sources can reflect sex, population, life stage and measuring method.
