[Gecko] General Husbandary questions

[Lee Ardern]

Hi all,         Just a few general questions,   1.) In the UK we have just started to receive those mesh "reptariums" due to shipping costs these seem quite expensive. I was wondering does anyone use these for there geckos. I have recently started picking up Arboreal  species and I was wondering are these enclosures any good? The species I would like to keep tend to be arboreal Diplodactylus, Pseudothecadactylus and Oedura. Any thoughts or experience on this would be greatly appreciated.   2.) I was recently reading through an American reptile magazine and there was a short column on Diplodactylus ciliarus (Now Strophurus???). Within this article it states that this species needs spot lamps in order to breed, anyone have any experience with this? Is a spot lamp a good idea?   3.) Do Pygopods require UV light?   4.) I am also trying to track down breeders of Diplodactylus intermedius, as I am in desperate need of Males, anyone know anyone?    Many Thanks, Lee Ardern   GECKO PHOTOS @ http://www.leeardern.co.uk
