Aggregation in the banded gecko, Coleonyx variegatus.
Aggregation of Ceoleonyx variegatus in diurnal shelter sites is shown to be a statistically valid phenomenon, confirming earlier reports based on subjective impressions. Preliminary data on causative factors suggest that limited burrow availability promoted aggregation. Experiments in which two individuals were placed in cages having an excess of burrows revealed no indication of interindividual attraction. However, these results do not exclude the operation of social factors in aggregation. [eng] |

Coleonyx
While traipsing through garbage dumps may not sound appealing to most people, it is one of the best places to find banded geckos (Coleonyx sp.). Upon capture, many species in this genus let out an amazingly loud squeaking sound similar to the noises that emanate from a rusty door hinge. Some members of this genus are very common across the Southwest, while others are very rare and only known from a few specimens. The genus Coleonyx has species across the Southwestern United States in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, California, Utah, and Nevada. [eng] |

Coleonyx Mitratus
Les Geckos rayés du Nicaragua s'élevent a peu près comme les geckos léopards (Eublepharis Macularius) Il est un peu plus petit que celui ci (15 cm). Il ne peut donc pas être nourri avec des bébés souriceaux. L'humidité par contre un peu plus élevée que pour l'eublepharis macularius. [fra] |

Coleonyx Mitratus
First of all, never house more than three adult geckos in a 10 gallon aquarium. A male and two females works well, but be sure not to have two males in the same cage, for they will fight, sometimes even to the death. But besides the actual animals, their basic needs need to be met. To provide the basic needs, your banded gecko needs proper housing and food. [eng] |
