Mourning geckos are small, docile lizards native to the South Pacific, prized for their manageable size and gentle temperament. These nocturnal creatures thrive in humid, tropical environments with temperatures between 72–80°F and require vertical enclosures with live plants for climbing and hiding. They feed on insects like crickets and dubia roaches, supplemented with fruit-based diets. With proper care—including regular misting, secure housing, and consistent feeding—mourning geckos can live 15+ years, making them excellent pets for both beginners and experienced keepers seeking a low-maintenance reptile companion.
