Dune Geckos (Stenodactylus stenodactylus)

These guys are such a delight, their mottled coloration is unique to each individual gecko.
I got them earlier last month, and they've settled in quite well. The cutest thing is when they lick water droplets off of each other

I do! Right now, I just have them in a 10 gallon tank, Id like to move to an exo-terra soon. I love planted enclosures so I got some scrub grass and haworthia plants. Mopani wood, and used gaps n cracks for the background, altho I'm not happy how it turned out tbh.
Lots of limestone rocks, slate would have been ideal.
I have a nano heat bulb and nano bulb dome on the left, on the right is a 26w UVB 100 bulb, and a generic bulb dome that has temp regulation.

I have water dishes on both the warm side and the cool side, just to encourage them to drink. I've been misting them almost daily because they seemed dehydrated from their trip here to Iowa - they seem to prefer that.
They're nocturnal, so they don't do much but bask under that heat lamp, unless dusted crickets are around. But they are adorable.
