(Coleonyx variegatus)
Banded geckos are smaller and far more slender than leopard geckos, but their care is virtually identical. These geckos are native to the California desert. when hunting for prey at night, this nocturnal gecko raises it's tail and moves it back and forth, much like a cat.
(C. variegatus ssp.)
The western banded gecko has very smooth skin much unlike the "bumpy" textured skin of the leopard gecko. In captivity their diet should consist entirely of "gut loaded"crickets and meal worms. But go easy on the worms as they are a little tricky to digest.
(Hemitheconyx caudicinctus)
These gecko are the closest related to the leopard gecko. Virtually the only difference is their colourations and the extremely fat tails. Some africain fat-talis have a whilte dorsal stripe down their back. These geckos gorw to a maximum length of 10" (25.2cm) These gecko make perfect pets for both novice and advanced herpers alike.
