Keeping Geckos in Extreme Climates

Most of us are living in climates that are different than the native environments of many of the geckos we keep. When we set up our geckos in their homes we all face certain challenges particularly in providing the appropriate heat and humidity. In this article, Gecko Time looks at the even greater challenges facing keepers who live in extreme climates: very cold climates with dry heat that significantly reduces humidity, and very hot and humid climates.

The contributors who described their experiences responded to some or all of the following questions;

Where do you live and what is the climate like during the year? What do you do in your home to make the environment comfortable for humans?
What kind of geckos do you keep and how do you keep them (i.e. racks, cages, what kind of cages)?
What kind of challenges do you find keeping your reptiles comfortable in terms of temperature, humidity or anything else?
As you’ve gained experience keeping geckos, have you had to make any adjustments to insure that the climate in their enclosures is comfortable for them?
Is there anything else that you feel is unique to your environment that you need to take into account or that affects your geckos?
