Geckos

its not just their food dish they like the water one aswell. they normally find it warmer and more comfy to have something surrounding them as they sleep, i have 2, one is in the water bowl and the other in the food bowl, its just normal for them

the geico gecko is a species phesulma (day geckos). He is a giant madagascar day gecko
Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis. A species native to Madagascar, being the largest species of the day gecko, and due to this little green fella we see on commercials, they are one of the most well known day gecko species.

It depends on how old the Leopard Gecko is... Say it was born as a baby maybe about 1 or 2 small crickets every day.

When older start putting more in there... Like 3 or 4 so on and so fourth...

And if you buy a whole bunch Of food (Crickets) It is only natural for them to die..

What I have found out in my experience, Crickets stay alive longer if u put a Hardly Damp Cotton Ball Where u keep your Crickets. And I HIGHLY recommend you don't keep The Crickets in the bag when you buy them at a Local Pet Store..

Leopard geckos are strictly "insectivores" relying strictly on insects. Most worms are not to be considered insects, although they are the larva form of one, but most leopards take a great interest in: silk worms, horned worms (tomato worms), super worms, meal worms, and they also really like but also become addicting, butter worms and wax worms. Do not solely rely on the butter and wax worms due to the high amounts of fat. A leopard gecko rely on a moving prey.

Geckos are not domesticated animals. They cannot be "tame" to listen to your every command. They are able to become more socialable with their owners. A gecko that is handled more often will usually become more socialable. They will also learn your scent, your voice and will even grasp the feeding routines. They will even know the time the lights go on and off.

if it was just hatched then probably 2 or 3 months. after that it will shed about 1 time a month. You may not know it sheded the night before because a lot of leo's will eat their shedding. Mine does :)

They don't have any scent. Nor do they produce any scent that you can smell. If your tank smells bad, I suggest removing the gecko and cleaning it out with bleach, then setting it out in the sun for a few hours to dry out.

No, dobermans tails are long and scrawny. Most doberman owners have their dog's tail bobbed (cut off) when they are puppies. Warning: tail bobbing should only be performed by a licensed veterinarian.

It is called a male gecko. There really is no special name for it, nor do special males hold a special position like some other animals do.

Hatchling and baby geckos are defenceless when it comes to predators. Most baby's will stand tall on all fours and exhale to look bigger than usual. They will open their mouths but in most scenario's, they would rather run than bite.

sure but they should be the same sex unless you want more tortoises

The only Gecko that i would call dangerous is a Tokay gecko, they can be rather mean and have been known to bite your finger and not let go( not pain full but annoying). be careful holding the gecko, not for your health but the sake of the animal, most geckos are very fast and will go running out of your hands with no care of the height they will be falling.

it accually depends on the size of the Gecko, they ill need a fairly large tank, and if you have more than one gecko in the same tank i recomend to get a very large tank. from mystery person

As a keeper, we are trying to replicate their natural environment. In the wild a gecko will not need to take a bath. I recommend baths/ saunas for geckos that have stuck shed on their eyes, feet, or toes but it's not a weekly or daily occurrence.

NO!!! There are no types of geckos and salamaders that can be housed together, they eat different things, need different amount of humidity and are not capatible! if housed together it causes death!

they are born without their mothers. The female gecko lays her eggs and leaves. In fact, Leopard geckos will eat baby leopard geckos if they see them. Leopard geckos are smart so baby leopard geckos are born already knowing what to do with no help from their mother. They usually never even see their mothers or male children of the mother may even reproduce with the mother.

Leopard geckos move by moving their short limbs very quickly. They are usually slow and relaxed in captivity but in the wild, they need to be able to escape a chasing predator.

They can but usually they won't. Sometimes they may pounce at a cricket and mine has done a sort of jump off my hand because it was at a certain angle, but this probably won't ever happen.

The Madagascar Ground gecko/ Pictus Gecko/panther gecko (paradura Picta) is a species with just claws and no lamalee. Their close cousins from the same region however do (Paradura. androyensis)

It could be that if your gecko has just shed it's skin, it's toes nead a soak in water in order to soften the dried skin around the toes. Geckos shed and eat the skin for nutrients, and can normally do a good job of getting the skin off themselves, but toes are tricky and without a helping hand of a soak, the skin can cut off the circulation to the toes and the tips will eventually drop off, resulting in them not being able to cling as well.

When you spot your gecko looking a like he/she has a white film, then they are going to shed most likely the same day, so for the next couple of days keep an aye out and once the shed is finished, help with the toes. it can also help to spray the tank with a mist of water to keep humidity up to help wit the overall shed.

geckos normally like to hunt their prey they normally only eat food which is alive,meal worms can be put in a shallow dish to stop them escaping and burrowing in your tank or you can feed them by hand or with long tweezers especially for this you can allow put in a few crickets maybe 3 for a youngish gecko and around 5 for an adult with maybe one meal worm twice a week I feed my juveniles every other day make sure you dip all food in calcium powder(you can get this from most good reptile shops or on line e bay ect) water should also be changed fresh every day,hope this helps if you want a good book on geckos, leopard geckos be gerold and Cindy merker is a great book.

it is recommended that you do not feed geckos pinkies but they should be able to handle ONE every 1-2 months once they are 8-10 inches not including tail.

Geckos are reptiles species meaning they are ectothermic. Meaning their body temperatures rely on the envoirenment. All reptiles require mildly warm - hot temperatures to stimulate their metabolism. The coolest of cool would be mid 60's. The bavayia andrhacodactylus species thrive in temps ranging from 65-75. Some uroplatus species thrive in cooler temps as well.

you can get a number of different morph types, some flame witch are red, some dalmations witch are obviously spotty, harlequin, striped but overall they are smallish, they look scaly, they look like they are constantly smiling and have prickles running around the edges of their head, five indivdual toes. and they have pupils witch appear as a slit but they get bigger at night
