Moorish Geckos

[Danny317]

Hello there, recently I went to a reptile show and picked up two Moorish Geckos! Or crocodile geckos(Tarentola mauritanica) if you'd rather . I believe they are moorish, but I just wanted a second opinion heheh. I haven't had previous experience with these geckos, so I was wondering if anyone had any tips about them or tank set up? Thanks much, happy to be apart of these forums!

I was also wondering how you could sex them?

Danny they are new to me so all I can do is say cool looking critters you got there. I recommend doing a search here to see if anything pops up.

Congrats , cool geckos, I have a member on my site that has a monster one.

Thanks, heheh yeah, not many seem to know too much about them. How big is that person's? I heard these usually get somewhere around 5 to 7 inches...I'd say roughly mine are around 4 inches...not quite sure how old they are either :\

I think he said its 7-8 inches, he named it agro when he first got it(not sure what sex) and he recently found out its female, so its agro the female giant croc gecko lol.

Haha, wow, agro was actually one of my choices for names, but I'm still trying to think of some others for my two little buddies. Did he say how he sexed her? I'm also looking forward to seeing them grow to that size
