Name

The Chinese Cave Gecko is scientifically known as Goniurosaurus hainanensis. Commonly known as the Chinese Cave Gecko, this easy to keep and breed species is also sometimes called the Hainan cave gecko. Appropriately enough, Chinese Cave Geckos are native to the Chinese Islands of Hainan and Cat Ba. These geckos have been available in rare spurts since at least the 1990s. They’ve recently had a resurgence in popularity, as more and more people realize how easy and rewarding it is to care for these awesome geckos.

Coloration

Chinese Cave Geckos have a black/purple base color, with orange/yellow/white bands that crisscross their body. Most notable are their red eyes. Young animals tend to be more heavily banded. The bands become narrower and shift towards more yellow/white with age.

Chinese Cave geckos are insectivores, and thrive on a staple diet of dubia roaches or crickets. Waxworms, black soldier fly larvae, butterworms, and the occasional mealworm make a great treat. At Josh’s Frogs, all of our Chinese Cave Geckos are fed exclusively dubia roaches gutloaded on our Roach Rations diet and thrive! All feeder insects should be dusted with a vitamin/mineral supplement, and fed using an escape proof bowl. A well fed gecko will have a fat tail. This fat reserve functions as a nutrient source during lean times.

Sex

Sexing Chinese Cave geckos is fairly straightforward – males have visible bulges at the base of their tail. Animals are typically sexable by 5-6 months of age. Juveniles sold by Josh’s Frogs are not sexed.

Breeding

If you’re intending to breed your Chinese Cave Geckos, all you’ll need to do is keep a male and a female together. Breeding season runs from February though September. Females will lay 2 eggs every 30-45 days during this period. The animals should be cooled from October through January. Males may be removed to give the females a break.
