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.
Dust with a vitamin supplement once per week.
Dust with a calcium + D3 supplement once per week.
And leave a bowl of pure calcium in his/her tank.
I feed my Leopard Geckos every 3 days.
Yes you should feed your Leopard Gecko wax worms if hes getting to skinny. However, you shouldn't always feed it as his main food. They can get obeyed and be addicted to wax worms. This is bad. So, only feed your Leopard Gecko 3 times a day, in the morning, in the evening, and in the night. If your Leopard Gecko refuses to eat it store the wax worm back into its container.
if you keep feeding you leopard gecko like i do he will store part of the food he eats in his tail.So the only way you can get it fat is to feed him/her.
they eat bugsbut they might try it. my science teacher had bearded dragons and he feed them lettuce but they did not allways go for it. I have a leopard gecko and he some times eats it just cut it up first
yes, sometimes they get stressed if another gecko in the tank is eating its food, or if they are both males, they might fight when they are matured.
With their mouth. We had a leopard gecko that ate crickets. Their feet are used only for walking, but they can bite a cricket really fast.
No. People feed leopard geckos "pinkies" for various reasons. To boost nutrition during a geckos pregnancy. To give a gecko a large feeding so as to not have to feed it for a week (this works well if you want to take a vacation). Some people just think it's entertaining. A Leopard Gecko does not "need" to eat baby mice. Crickets will do.
I purchased my leopard gecko for $20.00 with out setup $200 w/setup*if you are thinking of getting a leopard gecko make sure you research what it needs at a lot of corporate stores they don't know exactly what is needed
YES! Leopard geckos do not naturally live on sand and when they eat their food they lunge at it, eating some sand accidentally. This causes problems in the stomach which can lead to your leopard gecko dying.
The leopard hunts down its prey and then eats it. With their powerful teeth they bite right through the skin of its prey and then just proceed to eat it like other big hunting animals. e.g. lions
The leopard gecko kit being sold at most pet stores usually consist of: A 10 Gallon tank Sand for substrate 2-3 Deco's 1 Hide 1waterbowl 1 food dish You can use it for a panther gecko because panther geckos are very adaptable and can be kept in a desert or a tropical set-up, but I reccomend a mix. What I would do is buy the kit and buy some eco earth to mix in with the sand and there you go panther gecko set up!
The best way to see if a baby leopard gecko is eating is to watch after the food has been placed inside the tank. Many times the gecko's will eat as soon as the crickets are put inside the tank.
You can feed them store bought crickets. Usually 1-3 per day is enough to satisfy them. Store bought are coated with nutrients.
