Info on Nephrurus

[Tigerfloss]

Hi All

Can anyone give me info on these gorgeous little guys? The Nephrurus? Are they a good lizard to keep? I have beardies but am interested in something different?
What are their requirements and any other info would be most welcome!

Thanks so much for your time.....

Not hard to keep at all .
Sand , heat around 31 , no light/UV , and feed them crickets and woodies .

Nephrurus do like to burrow so a decent layer of sand is a good idea , I keep one end of the tub slightly moist .
Give them a light spray a few times a week as they tend to drink drops of water from the sides of the tubs .
Some keep them separated , some keep in trios or pairs .

how about feeding frequency and any calcium supplements? something i haven't really found a good answer on yet.

Geckos are still new to me also , but i am feedign every 4-5 days for adults and dusting every third or so feed with calcium powder .
Hatchling I am feeding every second day and dusting every third or so feed aswell .
But as with all critters some will eat more than others and i will feed those accordingly .

Normally around $150.00 each , can be kept in pairs or on their own , they are normally easy to get hold of .
I will be breeding them this season and am in your area if you are able to wait a few months , if not there are always a few for sale on here .
