Hi Wally! Thanks for the great video! I really like this style of videos or "species spotlight" if you will. A shorter very informative video were you show them, how you keep and raise them and special tips and tricks for the species. Can you do the same style of video for Paroedura androyensis? I just got the species myself and would like to know more about how you keep/raise yours and if you have any tips/tricks for the species. I would also be interested in seeing this style of video on Diplodactylus/Lucasium and other cool smaller ground geckos. Thanks!
I sure can. This was a brief introduction to the viper geckos but I can do some videos on exact care on this one and others as well (including foods, temps, seasons, etc). Thanks for the suggestions.
Never owned a viper gecko, but they're truly adorable! I love Hemidactylus species.. Or mostly any gecko. And vipers are one of my favorites! They aren't available in my area, but I love them! Love their little stubby tails!
Do you mean the white ones? Those are called 'mealworm cups'. There are a number of places on the web selling them but I believe I got my from Superior Enterprises years ago. They really are great.
Hi Bob, most of the geckos I keep are nocturnal in nature. So, the assumption is that they don't need UVB. However, the better answer is that all geckos can benefit from some UVB. Hope this helps.
Do you maintain heat on them 24/7 or do you turn off your heat at night for a cool down period? I am looking at getting 1 or 2 of these guys in the neat future. Thanks!
Not sure if this video will get a response but im picking up 4 of these to raise up an i was interseted in how you keep them in a rack system? Is it similar to a ball python hatchling rack with belly heat?
For heating- We have ours in a rack (flexwatt heat tape). But, you can do a heat matt or an incadescent light on top. Make sure you get on our Wish List as we have none right now.
Hi! It looks like you are still answering questions so here goes: any reason to feed baby mealworms over peanut beetle larvae? I'd rather not culture both and I already have peanut beetles.
I've been a fish keeper my whole life and just discovered pet isopods and thus your channel and these little cuties. I'd seen other TH-camrs comment on how much you do for the community and that's becomming really obvious! Thanks for all you do!
im curious, i have seen people with large groups of these in large setups. I know generally cant keep 2 males geckos together, its a big no no. But i have heard both yes and no with these guys. What is your opinion on this?
I personally do not like to keep 2 males together. They might not visibly show signs of fighting but I always fear one will not get to the food like the other(s).
Hey again, Great vid! I actually just got a breeding pair and some eggs even! I've heard that some remove the male after 3 clutches or so what are your thoughts on that? If so how long should you wait before pairing them up again? (:
There are so many different variations. Some co-habitat, some introduce for a short period, some introduce for longer periods. If you are doing the introduction method, after first get together, reintroduce after 3-4 months again.
Hello Walli! You obviously do not use the UV light to keep this species. But from the most of Russian keepers I've heard the recomendations to use the UV. Keeping the leopard geckos and H.triedrus without UV is absolutely ok. What's wrong with vipers I wonder? What do you think about it?
Right. I hope to move many of my geckos to more 'display' enclosure to in the future. However, we are a breeding facility that enables many other hobbyists to obtain and own these wonderful geckos. Keeping more species like this helps us do that. Thanks again for your comment and viewing.
Wow those little guys are pretty darn cute! Would you ever consider keeping them in bigger groups such as 2 or 3 females in with one male or is that a bad idea?
Supreme Gecko I followed you on IG to keep track of that! I’m really interested in keeping/breeding them after watching this video hehe you got me hooked lol hope that ratio works out! Do you vend at any shows?
@@jdamelines Well thank you. Can I return the favor on IG? What is your ID? I do vend at shows- all in the midwest. SEWERFest, WIRE, and NARBC in Chicago (except the upcoming show).

they are so cool looking wow love the look of these guys
Thanks Andrew. They are but, they are tiny
What a cool looking gecko. Small, and cute.
Thanks!
I just watched this one again ..awesome video I love that babies
Thank you Andrew. I'll be reintroducing a male to my female in the next few days.
@Supreme Gecko I will me watching for babies ...I love the tail action on those guys so awesome
I need these in my life!!
They are cool, and super easy. 10 years ago, you could find them a dime a dozen. Now, not so much.
hey walley was wondering where you got the feeding dishes with the lip?
Do you mean the white ones? Those are called 'mealworm cups'. There are a number of places on the web selling them but I believe I got my from Superior Enterprises years ago. They really are great.
They are so cute! I love the little tail wiggle lol
Me too!!!!
Excellent video, there’s alot of little geckos under the paroedura naming, Im curious do any of them need uvb or are they like the Rhacs ?

I have a warm area available for them 24/7. You will LOVE them!
@@SupremeGecko is it the 85/90 spot around the clock or just more like 80F at night?
@@bobpurcell3814 90s ish
Love what your doing keep up the great work
Thank you so much. If you ever have any suggestions, please do let me know.
Not sure if this video will get a response but im picking up 4 of these to raise up an i was interseted in how you keep them in a rack system? Is it similar to a ball python hatchling rack with belly heat?
I do keep mine in a rack system and do provide belly heat. Keep me posted please on how you do with them and ANY other questions you may have.
Thanks, love your videos
Thank you so much. Means a lot.
These geckos are so cute
Thank you! I think so too.
What is your suggestion on heating ? And do you have any available ? I am looking for 2 I have 1 at the moment ! Thanks !
For heating- We have ours in a rack (flexwatt heat tape). But, you can do a heat matt or an incadescent light on top. Make sure you get on our Wish List as we have none right now.
Okay so Like ball pythons in a rack ? And what temp do you recommend ?
@@davidfinns8907 Like many reptiles in racks (including leopard geckos) yes. Room temp but the warm spot at 90-92
Wow those are beautiful! I definitely need to check those out
They are so small- and their babies! Oh boy!
Hi! It looks like you are still answering questions so here goes: any reason to feed baby mealworms over peanut beetle larvae? I'd rather not culture both and I already have peanut beetles.
I ALWAYS answer questions! None! :) Especially if you have a thriving colony.

Thanks for all you do!
@@nickio8917 That just made my day!! Thank you!
Please more about the Vipers :)
We do have a couple additional, more recent videos on viper geckos. Did you see them?
With care and time can you handle vipers consistency
Absolutely. Thanks for checking this one out.
Can 2 be kept in a 10 gallon or 1 in a 10 gallon
Absolutely.... just never 2 males together.
im curious, i have seen people with large groups of these in large setups. I know generally cant keep 2 males geckos together, its a big no no. But i have heard both yes and no with these guys. What is your opinion on this?
I personally do not like to keep 2 males together. They might not visibly show signs of fighting but I always fear one will not get to the food like the other(s).
@@SupremeGecko Perfect, i knew i should ask the expert. Btw i love your videos! Thank you for the quick response.
@@scienceiswisdom8002 thanks for the kind comments
These are the cutest geckos I have ever seen! When can I get some?
Hi Kate. I should have some available a bit later this year. Thanks for asking.
What temperature do you incubate their eggs at? Great video as always Wally, really appreciate all the info.
Thanks! @ 80-82
Nice. Thanks for posting ...

All animals can benefit from UVB. Good point.
@@SupremeGecko sure, no doubt, but is it okay to keep the vipers in same way like the leopard geckos, without UVB, just adding the Ca/D3 to food?
@@dinarvaleev1744 Yes, it is.
Very cute geckos but I wish they were in better enclosures with substrate, hides, plants.
Right. I hope to move many of my geckos to more 'display' enclosure to in the future. However, we are a breeding facility that enables many other hobbyists to obtain and own these wonderful geckos. Keeping more species like this helps us do that. Thanks again for your comment and viewing.
Thank you for your reply. I understand now. Blessings
Love these Geckos. Thnx for the info on them. Do you sell them? Like your channel😀🦎
Not currently but will be in 2-3 months.
@@SupremeGecko Let me know😀
Wow those little guys are pretty darn cute! Would you ever consider keeping them in bigger groups such as 2 or 3 females in with one male or is that a bad idea?
Funny you should mention this. I just started a second group and that is exactly the setup- 1M3F. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the question.
Supreme Gecko I followed you on IG to keep track of that! I’m really interested in keeping/breeding them after watching this video hehe you got me hooked lol hope that ratio works out! Do you vend at any shows?

Supreme Gecko ahh Midwest. I’m in the eastern us! Yes my InstaGram is @JDamelines
@@SupremeGecko I'm sure you've answered this somewhere else but how has the group of 1M3F faired for you?
Do they have any morphs?
Of vipers? No. Are there morphs?
Supreme Gecko not from what I’m seeing online. Apparently just some can be lighter or darker hmm
@@pascal590 Ah, ok. I thought because you had asked if I had morphs you may have seen some. Thanks
Supreme Gecko sorry for confusion. I was asking if the species had morphs. Hope they come along one day bc such a cute gecko. :)
I need a pair
Thanks for watching.
Hi, from the future here! They've actually been reclassified as hemidactylus imbricatus
Yes. Maybe I will go back and change the title. Thanks.
cute geckos. how can one tell a male from a female.
By checking the hemipenal bulge. Very pronounced on the males.
😍😍😍
Thanks for watching.
