Hemidactylus imbricatus (viper gecko)

This is a small, terrestrial, insectivorous, crepuscular/nocturnal gecko native to northeastern Pakistan, inhabiting desert and dry scrubland. In captivity, they do well kept in groups provided the available space is sufficient to do so. Captive care is straightforward, and they require no special lighting; however, they require dry conditions and temperatures in the upper 70s to mid-80s (°F), with the ability to access a hot spot of around 90°F. A portion of the enclosure should be lightly sprayed one or more times a week, depending on ventilation conditions. As with other insectivorous lizards, feeders should be gutloaded and dusted with reptile vitamin supplements, including calcium and vitamin D.
