Keep their tail fat, and def. give them a higher humidity hide during shedding. One thing that can happen if it's too dry, their skin will get caught around their toe nails, or last digit of their toes, cutting off circulation and resulting in loss of digits or worse, rotting flesh/infection.

And I'm sure you noticed, they aren't the most dexterous of lizards, esp compared to the toe-pad owning cousins. They have no fear in the sense of walking. They will walk off your hand/knee whatever at heights that will cause them injuries.

Yeah... I was trying to get my geckos to be calm around me, and not be calm around my presence, and my more bold gecko almost took a leap of faith from my hand. Luckily he was mere inches off the ground, and carried on with his dash away from me. May have to wait until they mature.

They'll walk off even as adults. They have no reason to think they are X amount of inches/feet above the ground without something below. Sorta like Avics heh.
