Recommended Enclosure Size: An 8x8x8 glass enclosure will house an adult viper gecko or two. A 12x12x12 enclosure can house 3-5 animals, with larger enclosures housing more geckos. Because this species does not grow very large, upgrading adults to a larger enclosure is usually unnecessary. As a communal species, males and females can be kept together in groups.
Size: Viper geckos are at least an inch long when sold by Josh’s Frogs. Viper gecko adults reach around 3 to 3.5
Age: Viper geckos sold by Josh’s Frogs are at least 4 weeks old. Viper geckos can live up to 10-15 years in captivity.
Color/Pattern: Viper geckos exhibit a unique ladder pattern with black, grey, beige, and white colors. Their intricate patterning and keeled scales give them a very unique and beautiful look. Hatchlings do not differ much from adults.
Social Behavior: Viper geckos are a communal species: males and females can be housed together with no issues. However, breeding individuals can suffer from a prolonged breeding season. Females should be provided with plenty of calcium, and individuals experiencing weight loss should be removed from the breeding group to recover.
