Night temperatures can fall to 68 to 72°F (20 to 22°C). Humidity should remain moderate around 50 to 65%, with light misting to produce brief humidity spikes without allowing the enclosure to stay overly wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to moderate UVB (2 to 5%) on a 12-hour cycle is appropriate.

Juveniles benefit from daily feeding, while adults can be fed every 2 to 3 days. All insects should be gut-loaded and dusted with calcium and multivitamin supplements. Clean water should be available in a shallow dish or accessible via droplets from misting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBehaviour in Captivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Once settled, Fish-scale Geckos become active, agile climbers.
