Name: Lepidodactylus lugubris. We call this variety the yellow-bellied mourning gecko due to their characteristic yellow belly (compared to the white bellies on other mourning geckos), but they have virtually identical care to any other mourning gecko! There is some evidence to suggest these are from the Fiji population, but our breeders did not come with that lineage history.
Color/Pattern: Yellow-bellied mourning geckos differ from other mourning geckos in two ways: first, they have a yellow belly (compared the usual cream- or white-colored belly); and second, they have a dispersed black pigment across their back (compared to the semi-regular patterning and higher pigment found in regular and Hawaiian mourning geckos). Note that this feature is reduced in some individuals.
Size: Adult mourning geckos get up to about 4" in length. Yellow-bellied mourning geckos seem to get a ⅛-¼” larger than normal mourning geckos. When they hatch, Lepidodactylus lugubris measure less than an inch! The juvenile mourning geckos sold by Josh's Frogs measure about 1-1.5" when shipped.
Age: Lepidodactylus lugubris is capable of living over 10 years in captivity, with reports of 15 years or more in the literature. All mourning geckos for sale at Josh's Frogs are well started juveniles, and are over a month old.
