Wow they really are small. Is this a type of gecko that you could have as a pet? What do they eat? As small as they are I would be afraid that I would lose it somewhere.

Well they are about 8 inches and yes you can have them as a pet but they are to have at least a 20-gallon aquarium with a secure lid. And you can even give them baby food if you run out of bugs, I seen one before and its pretty nice looking.

That Gecko is about the size of a finger. It looks good though. Does anyone have any more pictures.

Food & Water
Feed your Marbled Gecko a steady diet of small feeder insects including crickets, mealworms, butterworms and silkworms. Pinkie mice can be offered when they are adults, if large enough. They may also eay small squashed fruit, like baby food. Supply a shallow dish of water at all times. Make sure to clean and change the water daily.
Lighting, Temperature & Humidity
The daytime temperature for a Marbled Gecko should be kept around 80 degrees F, and should be kept on a 12 hour cycle. Provide a basking spot at one end of the habitat reaching 93 degrees F. Do not let the temperature drop below 70 degrees F at night. Full spectrum lighting is not needed, as the Marbled Gecko is nocturnal. Keep the humidity in the enclosure around 75%.

Housing
For one Marbled Gecko, a 20 gallon aquarium will be sufficient. Bigger is always better though. Use a peat moss type substrate, or reptile carpet. These Gecko's will climb, so provide lots of branches to do so, and places to hide.
