In Captivity
These geckos have been found to do well in captivity and are fairly easy to care for. Because of this they have been becoming increasingly popular in the Herpetology Community. A recommended first species for anyone looking into the hobby. They have similar care to a leopard gecko, and in captivity have really shown nice patterns. There are a few morphs of this species including xanthic, snow, anery, striped, triple striped and red. This is due to selective breeding. Usually geckos with these markings are more expensive and range from a price of $20 -$45.

Famous quotes containing the word captivity:
“Had it pleased heaven
To try me with affliction, had they rained
All kind of sores and shames on my bare head,
Steeped me in poverty to the very lips,
Given to captivity me and my utmost hopes,
I should have found in some place of my soul
A drop of patience.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
