My Stenodactylus petrii :D

[erik]

I picked them up tonight!!

They look really cool, although they were kept under a regular spot plus UVB, I don't think the last one is quite necessary. So i turned it off and I will try to put in a night glo for night time. I was going to put a UTH under it but since it's an Aqua40 aquarium, it has a plastic bottom Any suggestions?

Now I'm off to think of some good names :main_yes:

After cleaning out their tank this morning they actively started digging in the new sand, very cool to see!

The Female:

The Male:

They have made real good hiding places for themselves, they seem to have the ability to dig themselves in completely, leaving tiny airholes.

yah they look super cool. was wonderin if you have ever tried giving them a sand/peat moss substrate, maybe they could create some pretty awesome burrows?

course i dunno much about these guys (make that nuthin) so maybe thats the wrong way to go.

I don't quite know! I have had them for about a month now so I have just been adding sand to their enclosure. They have started chirping which makes me happy to realize they are happy Their natural habitat is in the dunes so I don't know what would happen with peat/moss. They really do need the sand , but they make cool burrows under rocks and everything i provide them with!

Good luck with it! My male stands high on his legs almost constantly, have you seen them do that for an extended period of time?
