White-lined Gecko

Gekko vittatus

Day: a real gradient, 31–32°C warm against 24–27°C cool, so the animal chooses. Night: 24°C.

Why

Same scale on every sheet here, so two species compare by eye.

Drawn from the stated numbers. Only what the sheet states is drawn inside.

Why

The rectangle carries the exact width-to-height ratio of the figures above it, and the ruler under it places that width on the 0–250 cm scale every sheet here shares, so two species still compare at a glance. Nothing is added that the sheet does not name: a lamp drawn on a sheet that never mentions one would be invented equipment. What the sheet leaves out is listed rather than left blank, because an empty tank reads as « none needed ».

Diet

Feeding rhythm

every 1 dAs an adult
28Meals in 28 days

Twenty-eight days, one row. Each band is a meal window. The sheet gives several ages on one line; this is the adult figure.

Why

The windows widen as they go because the interval is a range: four meals after a 10–14 day cycle land anywhere between day 40 and day 56.

The sheet statesinsectivores; dubias, discoids, red head roaches, crickets, black soldier flies, hornworms, silkworms, mealworms; Young lined geckos should be fed daily, while adults should be fed just every other day; Pinky/fuzzy mice can be offered 1-2x/month

Common questions

Does it bite?

Yes, quickly and it tends to hold on. This is not a handling gecko.

Does it make noise?

Yes, loud barks and chirps at night, similar to the house geckos you hear outside.

How big does it get?

Around 20 to 25 centimetres. It is arboreal, so height in the enclosure matters more than floor space.

Is it easy to keep?

Yes, hardy and cheap to feed on insects, as long as you accept that you will never handle it.

This sheet states 5 of 7 of the fields this product runs on. What is missing turns something off: day/night engine and awake count on the globe, the diet section. We show the gap rather than fill it with a plausible number.

UVB is measured but does not count: it is absent from 421 of 678 sheets, and on most of them that is not a gap, since a nocturnal snake's sheet has no reason to state a UV index. Counting it would call the library incomplete without cause.
