This Central American Banded Gecko is a very sweet individual with plenty of personality and still developing confidence. They can be a little skittish at first — slightly more so than leopard geckos — but with calm, regular handling they settle in well and become much more manageable over time. They are currently thriving in a well set-up 3ft vivarium that provides the correct warmth, humidity, and plenty of secure hiding spaces to help them feel safe and supported.
