This is a lovely possible 1:1 duo of Dune Geckos (Stenodactylus petrii), both healthy, active, and feeding well. Dune Geckos are a social species that generally do better when kept in small groups, making this pair an excellent start for anyone looking to keep or eventually expand a colony.
The possible male has a shorter tail, though this does not affect his behaviour or activity levels. The possible female is very friendly and settles quickly when approached, whereas the male is a little more skittish, which is typical for the species.
