Recommended Enclosure Size: A single animal or pair can be kept in a 12x12x18. A bioactive setup with live plants is strongly recommended for this species; BioBedding is recommended to maintain live plants, springtails, and isopods. Provide plenty of climbing material in the form of cork bark and branches for this arboreal species.
Temperature: Keep chameleon geckos geckos between 72-78 F. A basking spot is not required and not recommended unless this species is kept at very cool temperatures. The ambient and basking temperature should never exceed 85 F. Temperature should be monitored with a digital thermometer. Night temperatures should not fall below 68 F. These nocturnal geckos do not require UVB, although we do keep our breeders under a 5.0 UVB light.
Humidity: Chameleon geckos should be provided a humid but well-ventilated setup between 60-75%. Live plants can be added to help stabilize higher humidity as well as provide humid microclimates. Ambient humidity should be monitored with a digital hygrometer. Mist chameleon geckos daily to provide dew on enclosure walls and cage items from which they can drink. A water dish can be provided but is not necessary with regular misting; a water dish will not replace the need to regularly mist the enclosure.
Size: Chameleon geckos reach between 4.5-5.5 inches as adults.
Age: Bauer’s chameleon geckos are at least 4 weeks old when sold by Josh’s Frogs, at which time they are well established. Average lifespan in captivity is not well documented at this time.
