Description
The White lined gecko (Gekko vittatus), sometimes known as the skunk gecko due to the notable stripe down its back are typically nocturnal and should be provided ample foliage and hiding spots. When startled, these geckos may vocalize or even try to bite. They are skittish and secretive, taking cover when threats approach them can be fast moving and less inclined to be handled.
White lined geckos are insectivores, feeding primarily on invertebrates. In captivity, they are fed crickets, roaches, and mealworms. They can also occasionally have crested gecko diet.
This species is benefitted by supplying UVB (5-7%) as well as dusting any live feeders with a calcium fortified with D3.
It can be found in Indonesia, New Guinea, Palau, and Solomon Islands.

Minimum recommended tank size should be 18"X18"X24" or larger as these lizards love to climb, jump, and explore. They can reach sizes of 8-10 inches in length. These reptiles can be co-housed while taking care to observe animal interactions and providing a larger enclosure.
