A leopard geckos habitat does not require a daily misting to bring up humidity levels, no. These animals require a humid hide in the terrarium. A humid hide is usually an enclosed area filled with peat moss or paper towel to retain moisture. A shoebox sized tupperwear container with a hole cutout works perfectly. Instead of misting their terrarium, Mist the humid hide daily and ensure a clean bowl of water is supplied daily.

How many times dusting food for leopard gecko?
Leopard geckos do not need spraying although they do need a humidity box. This can be a plastic container inside the vivarium with a hole cut in it for an entrance. Put some damp paper towels or vermiculite inside. Keep this on the warm side of the vivarium. Your leopard gecko will go inside whenever it needs to. All you have to do is keep it damp and clean. Without a humidity box your leopard gecko will get skin shedding problems that can lead to toe loss and eye infections.

Can panther geckos live with leopard geckos?
Leopard geckos cannot live with panther geckos. Even though care for both are generally the same, there are some huge differences between the two. Leopard geckos are usually between 7 and 10 inches long (some almost a foot), and panthers are 4-6 (or occasionally up to 8) inches long. This size difference alone could do it. The Leopard geckos would pick on the panther geckos. Also, the climate of the two needs to be very different. Panther geckos live in southern Madagascar naturally, while Leopard geckos live in Afghanistan and neighboring countries. Panther geckos need higher humidity levels than Leopards, and lower temperatures. Together, either the leopard gecko, or the panther gecko, will suffer, if not both. Please, don't keep these two creatures together. It won't work out well.
