The fat-tailed gecko is native to West Africa and looks very similar to the leopard gecko. After a tail is amputated, the regenerated tail becomes thick and sturdy, almost as wide as the head, which is why it is also called the two-headed gecko. The body length of a fat-tailed gecko ranges from 25-28 cm, with some individuals reaching 30 cm. Fat-tailed geckos are rare, making breeding relatively difficult. They also come in far fewer colors than leopard geckos. So, how much does a fat-tailed gecko cost? How do you raise one?

Fat-tailed geckos are adorable and love to show off their cuteness by sticking out their tongues. They have round eyes and plump, short tails, making them very cute. Their tails store a lot of fat and water, so the regenerated tail after amputation is generally much thicker. Fat-tailed geckos are rare and relatively expensive. How much does a fat-tailed gecko cost? Currently, the price of a fat-tailed gecko in its original color is around 300 yuan, while other colors are slightly higher, costing over 600 yuan each.

The care of fat-tailed geckos is similar to that of leopard geckos. A tank or box will suffice. Coconut soil can be used as bedding, which retains moisture well. The ideal temperature for fat-tailed geckos is around 28°C during the day and around 25°C at night. A heating pad should be used when temperatures are low. Fat-tailed geckos prefer a relatively humid environment. When setting up their environment, spray water on one side of the bedding to increase humidity. Avoid excessive humidity, as this can lead to skin diseases. If the bedding becomes moldy, it should be replaced promptly.

Fat-tailed geckos are typically fed mealworms, crickets, cherry roaches, and Dubia rapa. These can be fed in the evening. Newly arrived geckos should not be fed on the same day. Feed them the next day. Feeding should be gradual, and avoid excessive amounts all at once.

The above information on the cost and care of fat-tailed geckos is provided for your reference. It is also important to note that fat-tailed geckos are very territorial, so avoid mixing them with other species, as this can lead to fighting.
