The nocturnal Japanese Cave Gecko will need a cool enough and humid enough enclosure. A single gecko can be housed in a tub or 20 gallon tank for the entirety of its life. They will need a consistent diet, which should be a diet of Dubia Roaches or crickets (often dusted with calcium) and water. They do best with appropriate substrate, hides in which to comfortably seclude themselves, and artificial or living plants to bring them comfort and security in their homes. Japanese Cave Geckos can be held with care and left to themselves, often. A well cared for cave gecko is a happy cave gecko!
