About this species
The world's largest gecko, also called the Leachie gecko. Nocturnal and arboreal with a stocky build and rough skin.
Enrichment & behavioral stimulation
New Caledonian Giant Gecko is arboreal — enrichment focuses on vertical climbing, elevated feeding, and humidity-driven activity.
- Provide tall vertical cork bark, bamboo, and diagonals to encourage climbing, clinging, and patrolling.
- Add broad-leafed live or silk foliage and vines for resting, camouflage, and jumping routes.
- Offer food on elevated feeding ledges at different heights to spread foraging across the enclosure.
- Mist in the evening to prompt drinking, raise humidity, and trigger natural hunting activity.
- Tuck small insects among foliage so the gecko stalks through the canopy.
- Periodically reposition branches and foliage to create novel climbing paths.
Housing & Social Behavior
Pairs can be successful, but some individuals are highly aggressive and must be separated.
Housing guidance is general and based on species-typical behavior; always verify against current husbandry references and observe individual temperament.
