The mourning gecko is a small parthenogenetic gecko species in which females reproduce without mating, an unusual trait among reptiles. Reaching only about 7 to 10 cm as adults, they thrive in compact terrariums and have become increasingly popular in recent years. Mostly active at dusk and dawn as well as at night, they move nimbly across branches and leaves. Most individuals are calm and not easily startled, though they can leap suddenly when alarmed, so care should be taken when opening enclosure doors. As omnivores that eat both insects and prepared diets, feeding is relatively straightforward. With a lifespan of 8 to 10 years, they can be a long-term companion for reptile keepers.

关于哀伤守宫
Mourning gecko: a tiny parthenogenetic gecko species. Beginner-friendly, 8-10 year lifespan, 7-10 cm adult size. Learn the essentials before bringing one home.
迎接哀伤守宫前需要了解的7件事
1Reproduces Without Mating
Mourning geckos are parthenogenetic, meaning females can lay fertile eggs without a mate. If you keep more than one, eggs can appear without you noticing, so it helps to keep an eye on population growth.
2Tiny Size, Small Footprint
As adults they measure only about 7 to 10 cm, so a compact terrarium is sufficient. Because they are so small, watch for any gaps they could squeeze through and escape.
3Active at Dusk and Dawn
Mostly nocturnal, they are often most active around dusk and dawn. During the day they tend to rest in hiding spots, making them well suited to a quiet, low-disturbance keeping style.
4Can Leap Away When Startled
While generally calm, they can leap away quickly if startled. Open enclosure doors slowly and be mindful of the risk of escape.
5Diet of Insects and Prepared Food
They are omnivorous and will eat both insects and commercial prepared diets. Relying on prepared food can simplify feeding logistics and reduce day-to-day care demands.
6Needs Humidity and Climbing Space
As an arboreal species, they need branches, leaves, or other climbing surfaces in their setup. Maintaining humidity through regular misting is also an important part of their care.
7A Long-Term Commitment
With a lifespan of 8 to 10 years, they live longer than many small reptiles. Before bringing one home, consider whether you can provide consistent care for that length of time.
