Barking Geckos (Underwoodisaurus milli) also
sometimes called “thick tailed geckos” are a small, charming gecko species,
native to Southern Australia. They are hardy and easy to care for and they make
an excellent starter reptile species. They get their name from the chirping
noise they make when alarmed, but this is rare to hear as they are a very laid
back species.
They inhabit rocky outcrops and shelter in amongst
the rocks or down burrows during the day, venturing out at night to hunt. They
are more cold tolerant than many other Australian gecko species and can take
significant night time drops in temperature and seasonal changes in winter.
Interestingly they have been shown to often live in groups occupying the same
burrow or refuge as one another. It is thought that this may be influenced by
cold temperatures as a group of sheltering geckos can retain heat better in
cold weather than a single individual. This doesn’t necessarily mean that they
live in social groups requiring you to always keep multiples in the same
enclosure, but it does mean that they are normally very tolerant of each other
when housed together.
They are strictly insectivorous and will thrive on
a mixed diet of crickets, locusts, small cockroaches and occasional worms. They
need an arid environment but with an area of localised humidity (humid hide) at
the cool end.
Barking geckos are a great alternative to leopard
geckos for those who may be looking for a smaller terrestrial species with
relatively straight forward care requirements. They are a handleable species
well suited to beginner keepers.
Like most of the animals we sell, these are all
bred here in store.
