Nice gecko, you aren't using that cage for the banded are you?

I find the CA banded geckos like privacy, and are prone to stress. So lots of hiding spots. They also like it far more humid than leos do. I supplied my group with a moist hide, and I also misted them lightly every night.

You could contact Nathan, aka Geckoboy here on ssnakess. He breeds them and is very knowlegable. Good luck with it, they are an amazing species:)
