Adult Female Information
This product is for a confirmed adult female Cameroon Dwarf Gecko. Females are a great option for keepers seeking an established gecko with the same engaging behavior and manageable enclosure footprint this species is known for.
Like other small arboreal geckos, this species is quick and delicate, making it best suited as a display animal rather than a handling gecko.
