Your Questions Answered
What does "100% het Amel" mean for this gecko?
This gecko carries one copy of the amelanistic (amel) recessive gene. Visually, it displays its Aberrant Whitesock Whiteout traits. When bred to another amel carrier or visual amel, it can produce amelanistic offspring, which lack black pigment and have red eyes.
How is the health and temperament of this animal?
This gecko is feeding reliably, has a solid body weight, and shows no signs of health issues. African Fat-Tails are known for their docile temperament, and this individual is no exception, handling calmly for brief periods.
What should I prepare for its arrival?
Have a 10-20 gallon enclosure set up with a secure lid, under-tank heat mat on a thermostat (88-92°F warm side), a humid hide, a dry hide, and shallow water dish. We ship with detailed care instructions.
