Feeding: You should feed them crickets and mealworms no wider than the space between their eyes. Also, put a dish of calcium-mineral dust in their enclosure for them to lick. Heating and Humidity: The temperature at night should be 68-75 degrees Fahrenheitand in the day should be 78-92 fahrenheit. The humidity should hover between 35 and 60%. Water: Geckos cannot drink from a water bottle, so a ceramic dish full of water should be provided and changed every night. Enclosure: A tank of 20 gallons or more should be your gecko's home. There must be inside the tank water, calcium, a cavewhere they can sleep, a substrate (Repti-carpet works the best.). Your gecko is NOCTURNAL. (That's important.)
