Hello everyone I am a new member I just got my first reptile in march of this year named yoshi a golden gecko I am eager to learn as much as I can. I have done some research online but couldn't find much information. Alot of sites had different opinions. So any advice or knowledge I could get would really be appreciated. Thanks! :)

Welcome!

What exactly do you want to know? Golden Geckos are one of the easiest lizards to keep, aside from being fast!

Well, when I've kept them in the past (easily 10+ yrs ago), they were in 10-gal tanks, but I would suggest something more vertically-oriented like the Exo-terra 12x12x18 or (ideally) larger.

They don't like it super-hot, maybe a basking area in the low-mid 90s. UV lighting is optional, but I think it benefits them if they're set-up in a well-decorated, naturalistic set-up.

They're insectivores, so they readily eat crickets and sometimes mealworms. Other feeder insects weren't readily available in my area when I kept them last, but I can't imagine why they wouldn't go after smaller feeder roaches.

I have found their husbandry to be kinda like arboreal leopard geckos; very resilient. They do fine in a minimalistic set-up with paper towels, a water bowl and a couple caves, or a huge, naturalistic display. You definitely want to mist them regularly.

I've even gotten a few to tame down and tolerate short periods of handling, although nowhere near the level to that of a leopard or a crestie.

I admit, I don't know a lot about breeding them. Given their general distribution and arboreal nature, I would wager captive breeding is not dissimilar to that of tokay geckos.

Thx for the help I have what I yoshi in a 10 gallon tank with some vines with with a skull to hind in I mist the tank 2-3 times a day. But check on the tank throughout. The day I believe. It's a female when I got her they weren't able to sec her. But I've done research and looked and also taking into consideration. Her size she eats 10 large crickets 2-3 times a week. I also hold her about every other day

Hi, welcome to the forum!:D

Thx any advice would be helpful :)

As like most adult geckos, males should have fairly noticeable hemipenal bulges behind the vent.
