What is a marbled gecko?

marbled gecko is a small reptile found in Australia and parts of Africa. Usually it has a light brown color and can have darker spots over the body. There are two separate types of marbled geckos, phyllodactylus and Christinus. Christinus, albeit relatively rare, is a popular pet. Both types are strong climbers, mainly because they have fingers that are highly effective in holding different surfaces. Its natural habitat is Australia and Africa, but the species has also spread to other parts of the world, including South America and the Mediterranean. The species has evolved to equalize in various habitats, resulting in a common view in large cities and built -up areas. These include crickets and silkworms, along with anything else small enough to fit into the lizard's mouth. This type of geckon can also eat fruit if no insects are available, allowing it to survive in relatively difficult conditions. In captivity, the owner should ensure that the lizard is stablem streams of crickets and similar insects and that the food is small enough so that the gecko can eat without difficulty.

When keeping as a pet, it is important that the marbled gecko is provided by the right environment. Creation is a very powerful climber, so his housing should be completely closed and have enough climbing material to entertain the animal. To ensure that the geckon does not overheat, the cover should face the sun, but also to provide sufficient shadow. The rocks inside the cover can be effective in reducing temperature and at the same time to provide a more natural environment for lizards.

Marbled Geckos, by nature, are shy animals that do not like holding. Gecko, which is processed without proper care, often becomes desperate and can get rid of the tail. Some geckos will be tamed to the touch, but this is not common. If the geckon does not bite, which is likely that if it is held, they often jump into the air to escape the treatment. IFor such a small lizard, the captivity escaped, albeit inside the house, is very difficult - no if impossible - find it and capture it again.
