How do you clean a crested geckos tank?

Answer 1

hello, my gecko, spotty, passed on last friday. i was shocked by its death, which after much research, I found out that it is mandantory to clean its cage once a day. i thought this was way too often, since i already cleaned its cage every 3 days. but apparently it needs to be cleaned more often than i thought. i hope this helps, and good luck with your new gecko!

Answer 2

First you put your gerbils in a spare cage (which you should have gotten when you took your gerbils home.) Then, you take all the toys and stuff out of the aqarium. (This is how you clean an aqarium. An aquarium.) Then you dump all the litter/bedding into the garbage. Then you put new litter/bedding in the aqaurium and then you put the toys in a new arangment and then you put the gerbils in the aqarium. Do that once every week. Once every two weeks you should bleach it with non toxins and the toys, just not wood ones.

its quite hard to explain in words but i will try anyway, i reccomend going on YouTube and researching it. it is done very clearly in some places.

1. remove ur gecko and put him in a small box WITH AIR HOLES!! make sure of this.

2. It is easier to remove the top of your vivarium it there is one but if not you can just open it through the front.

3. remove all the equipment like the background, the themometer etc. Until there is nothing left but an empty tank.

4. soak up all the excess water with paper towles.

5. in a bath or a large sink wash all the equipment like the background and stuff.

6.dry it so it isnt absoloutly soaking.

7. Every month it is advised to disinfect your vivarium so do that at this stage every month.

8. Place all the stuff back in (move it around a bit, make it exiting for ur gecko).

9. Put your gecko back in the vivarium and your finished.

Answer 4

u take out the gecko and all the dirt and stufff and then u put water in it and dry it then put everything back

Answer 5

I have a leopard gecko. you don't wash a gecko. the only substance you should be putting on a leopard gecko is a small dab of neosporin if it has a bite from a cricket or another animal

Answer 6

If it is a baby or juvenile, take a flat bowl and put about 1/8th- 1/4th inch of luke warm water in it. Then set your Leo in there. Never leave it alone!

Answer 7

For most Geckos I suggest cleaning the tank about once every month.
