New Fan-fingered geckos

[artgecko]

I recently added these 1.3 Fan-Fingered geckos (Ptyodactylus guttatus) to my collection. Really enjoying them so far. Don't really know much about them but they seem to be settling in, eating crickets and exploring the enclosure.

I have all four in a 10 gal tank with UTH and paper towels. After the quarantine period, I plan to move them to a larger enclosure with more of a naturalistic look.

I caught all four of them chillin' this morning and snapped this pic with my phone's camera.

Wow, those guys are trippy-looking and cute at the same time. Very groovy!

Where are they indigenous to?

 

[artgecko]

Thanks. They originate from the middle east/north Africa.

These guys look so cool!!
I was doing re-search into the sinai fan fingered, these guys look alike but more sandy colouration compared to a rock colour.

LOVE THEM

Fanastic gecko, they are hard to handle because they are really quick. Mind you, females will eat eggs if it is exposed.

Thanks Tommyy, These are fast little things and a riot to watch. Always darting around when I come near. Sometimes they get up under the screen top and run around upside down.
And this morning I found an egg in the dish that I've been keeping the calcium in.

Here are some pictures:
The enclosure 20 gal long w/tight fitting screen top. 2 UTHs under the 2 'rock' hides. And some succulents in a pot.

Here is the egg

couple shots of the geckos

Not really sure what to do with the egg. I've been looking online for a good care sheet but not having great luck. Should I just cover the egg with a deli cup and leave it in the enclosure? Will it dry out?
