The best Pet Geckos are Marbled geckos native to Southern Australia, grow to between 6-7cm, and are EASY to look after, especially if you live in Melbourne, as they can handle our colder weather. Also, many reptiles in Victoria require expensive ‘Wildlife Licences’; however, the gecko is exempt.

We recommend an enclosure with a minimum of 30cm x 30cm with a water bowl, a hidden area, and a branch to climb onto. The bedding can be either aquarium gravel, specialised reptile bedding, or even a few handfuls of bark and leaves mulch from under a gum tree. Small crickets are the ideal food and can be added in small quantities (3-4) at a time.

A Pet Gecko is an escape artist, so please make sure you buy a suitable enclosure.

HELPFUL TIP: Geckos do require a source of calcium with vitamin D3 powder, so we recommend this be ‘dusted’ onto the crickets, which will keep their bones nice and firm.
