Great video! Been researching these guys this past year, might have to get me a few next year.

Thanks! I highly recommend these guys, they've quickly become one of our favorite gecko species. They're a lot of personality packed into a tiny gecko lol.

these guys look nuts!! I never realized how small they are!?

What is an approx adult weight, length, life span?

Our largest one is a little over 4 in (adult female) and our smallest adult (m) is about 3 in. I think the last time we weighed them they were around 7 grams. I'm not sure about the life span, there really isn't too much info on these guys, I'd guess 15 years ish? If anyone else has experience with these guys I'd love to hear about it.
