== Housing ==<br />
Viper geckos require less space than most gecko species. Due to their small size, they can be kept in a 10 gallon aquarium. Some breeders will keep this species in a reptile rack. This method is often the most convenient method for housing when you have multiple geckos.<br />
<br />
Females can be housed together, but you should always monitor their intake of food, as like other geckos, they may bully each other. Males need to be housed individually, as they are aggressive towards each other.Only house males and females together if you are prepared to hatch baby viper geckos.<br />
<br />
=== Substrate ===<br />
The best substrate is paper towels. They are the safest, and easiest to clean. This method will prevent impaction due to sand, or other loose substrate. Make sure you have a hide on both sides of the tank (hot/cold), as well as a small humid hide.<br />
<br />
=== Temperature ===<br />
Viper geckos are nocturnal, so there is no need for UVB bulbs. It is best to give them a light cycle, either by standard household light bulbs or the room lighting. The ambient lighting should consist of 16 hours of daylight in the summer, and 8 hours in the winter. This will stimulate a natural environment.<br />
<br />
The ambient temperature should be around 75-80F, with a hot side reaching around 90F. This temperature can drop up to 10F during the night. There are several options that can be used to maintain this temperature. The first, and probably best option, is to use a heatmat which is regulated by a thermostat. Herpstat makes a model, Herpstat ND, which allows night drop temperatures to be set. This will regulate the temperature throughout the day and night to maintain the proper levels. The second option is a heat light with an adjustable fixture. You can check the temperatures and increase or decrease the output as needed. You have the choice of bulbs - black, infrared, or daylight.<br />
