This species of gecko originates from the Bawangling nature reserve on the Island of Hainan, an offshore province of China. They are very rare in the hobby but are relatively easy to care for. Although called cave geckos, most cave geckos tend to live on the forest floor in dense forested environments, often associated with rocky escarpments within the forest where they would live in amongst the rock crevices during the day, only venturing out after dark to hunt. Relatively closely related to the popular and well known leopard geckos they share some superficial similarities visually. This is the reason why this species also goes by the common name of “The Bawangling Leopard Gecko”.

They don’t grow as large and are less chunky in overall body shape than the common leopard gecko. Their habitat preferences are also considerably different to that of a leopard gecko as cave geckos need low temperatures, maximum of 25C during the day and cooler at night. They also need a very humid environment to mimic the dense forest floor where they naturally occur. They will thrive in a live planted / bioactive enclosure.

They can be a little shy during the day but are easy to handle being naturally placid in temperament.

Like most of the animals we sell, these Bawangling cave geckos are bred right here in store.
