Care Information
All members of the Hoplodactylus genera are nocturnal, but will come out to bask occasionally. All are insectivorous, and will occasionally take fruit, berries, and nectar. Generally ground dwellers, except for granulatus and delcourti (in theory!!!), though all are known to climb into foliage to feed (except for cryptozoicus and kahutarae as there is no foliage to climb).
