# Chahoua gecko — care routine

Mniarogekko chahoua

## Before arrival

- [ ] Plan for heatwave management as well as winter warmth, and establish both prepared-food and insect feeding before arrival.
- [ ] Wildform proposes 60 × 60 × 90 cm or larger for an adult, with broad fixed branches, cork retreats and dense cover. This exceeds the breeder’s 46 × 46 × 61 cm reference and remains a planning case.
- [ ] Run and record the completed habitat through daytime and overnight conditions before arrival.

## Routine checks

- [ ] Replace spoiled prepared food, check drinking access and review upper/lower temperatures.

## Regular care and records

- [ ] Review body condition and the strength of branches and food-ledge fixings.

## When to seek help

- [ ] Track weight, meals, sheds and female reproductive condition; persistent weakness or feeding decline needs a reptile vet.
- [ ] Arrange appropriate professional assessment for injury, sudden decline or repeated care problems.
