Gargoyle Gecko
Habitat & enrichment
A small lizard like a Gargoyle Gecko depends on its enclosure for everything. Correct temperature gradients, appropriate UVB where the species needs it, humidity, and climbing or basking spots aren't extras — they're the care. Research the exact species' parameters and provide space to thermoregulate.
Temperament & handling
Reptiles don't socialize like mammals; most lizards tolerate rather than seek handling, and many species should be housed alone. A Gargoyle Gecko grows calmer with short, gentle, consistent sessions and a low-stress setup.
Everyday care
Feed a species-appropriate diet (insects, plants, or both depending on the species), supply clean water, and keep heating and lighting on reliable cycles with a spot-cleaned enclosure. A reptile-experienced vet is worth finding early — this page is general guidance, not medical advice.
