The numbers
Temperature
The cool side, 22–23°C, dropping to 20–25°C at night. This sheet states the cool side only. It gives no warm side or basking figure, so the hot end is not in our data. Same scale on every sheet here, so two species compare by eye.
The sheet statesbasking air 29 °C / shade 25-29 °C / cool corner 22-23 °C / night 20-25 °C. Air must never exceed 30 °C
Humidity
The sheet states60-70% (mist evenings, dry through day)
UVB
The sheet statesOptional low-level beneficial
Identity
Adult size
The size the sheet states for a grown animal.
Why
Two drawings, because they answer two questions. The silhouette is at true scale against a 1.75 m person: it says how big this animal actually is, which no number does for someone who has never seen one. The bar under it is logarithmic and shared by every sheet here, so a 2 cm isopod and a 4 m python both stay readable on the same axis and two species can be compared at a glance.
Morphs
6 morphs, with how each one is inherited.
Enclosure and conditions
Enclosure
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 ».
The sheet states45 × 45 × 60 cm vertical
What your climate adds
This sheet states a range to hold. Your local climate decides how much work holding it is. Pick the nearest city: nothing is sent anywhere, the choice stays in this browser.
Diet
Behaviour and handling
Reproduction
Life course
Read from the lifespan and maturity the sheet states, for animals in care and not in the wild.
Why
The minimum commitment is the low end of that lifespan, and the reproductive window is what is left after maturity: both are subtractions on stated figures, not figures of their own.

Good to know
- Named for the bony 'horns' over the head (gargoyle bumps).
- Regrows its tail: unlike the crested gecko.
- A semi-arboreal predator: eats other geckos in the wild.
- Regrows its tail — unlike the crested gecko.
- A semi-arboreal predator — eats other geckos in the wild.
Common questions
Like a crested gecko?
Yes but hardier, eats insects, and regrows its tail.
Must I feed insects?
Diet is complete, but they enjoy insects weekly.
Handleable?
Yes: calmer and sturdier with age.
What it needs
Every line above is deduced from a value this sheet states, and names which one. Nothing here is a general recommendation.
- Vertical terrarium 45×45×60
- Branches & foliage
- Coco substrate
- Gecko diet powder
- Feeder insects
- Calcium + D3
- Mister + hygro/thermo

What this sheet states
Every field this product runs on is stated here. That is not a claim that the values are right: it says what the sheet states, not whether it is true. Whether a human has read it is the badge at the top of this page.
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.
