Cat Gecko Aeluroscalabotes felinus (Aeluroscalabotes dorsalis) M-L

Aeluroscalabotes felinus, commonly known as the Cat Gecko, is one of the most unusual gecko species in the reptile hobby. Its slender body, large eyes and distinctive behaviour set it apart from more commonly kept geckos.

The species thrives in a humid tropical enclosure with plenty of branches, cork bark, plants and hiding places. It spends much of its time resting among vegetation or climbing through elevated areas of the terrarium.

A varied diet of insects and other appropriately sized feeder animals is recommended. Regular calcium and vitamin supplementation supports healthy growth and long-term wellbeing.

Due to its rarity and specific environmental requirements, the Cat Gecko is best suited to experienced reptile keepers seeking something unique.
