Are geckos hard to take care of?
Hi! Yes a leopard gecko is fairly easy to maintain. All you need to do is wet the moss and not let it get dry, pick up poo, sometimes clean the sand, and feed it crickets (dead or alive) and change the water
Can a leopard gecko live with a crested gecko?
Crested geckos are able, though not always willing, to adapt with gargoyle geckos. Though these two species are native to the same region, they are not found on the same islands within Caledonia. The gargoyle geckos are a much more territorial and aggressive species. They are also more robust and typically weigh more than a crested and even in same specie enclosures animals cannot be too much bigger than the other.
What are the predators of a gold dust day gecko?
The biggest single threat to the wild population appears to be the introduction of the little fire ant to New Caledonia. The ants prey on the geckos, stinging and attacking in great numbers and also compete with the geckos for food by preying on arthropods and insects.
Can leopard geckos walk on walls?
Geckos are the ultimate climbers of the vertebrate world with the amazing ability to freely scamper around on walls and ceilings. How do they do that? Each of their toes is covered with tiny hair-like projections called, setae. The tip of each seta is covered with hundreds of very fine projections called spatulae.
Each spatula has a microscopic diameter smaller than the wavelength of visible light. The spatulae stick to walls and other surfaces by van der Waals forces, an electrostatic attraction or repulsion between materials caused by the uneven distribution of the charge on their molecules. These allow geckos to cling to almost any surface without secreting a sticky substance.
How do you keep your 2 leopard geckos from fighting?
The first way to stop your rabbit from fighting is to separate them. Never let rabbits fight! Even a small bite or tear in the skin can lead to serious infection and abscess.
Once the rabbits are safe, you can try to start socializing them and bonding them. If they tried to fight when they first met, that's a good sign the bonding process may be a long and difficult one. Some methods work better than others, so it's a good idea to do some research. There are many resources online that can help you, and you could also look in the public library for a book on rabbit care. See the related questions and links below for more help!
Unless both rabbit are spayed/neutered, the likelihood they can be housed together without breeding or fighting is very, very low. There are many good reasons to spay/neuter your rabbit! If you choose not to, however, your only option is probably to keep two unspayed females that were raised together from the same litter.
Discussion
Rabbits compete in nature over food, space and mates. It takes time for rabbits to get used to each other.
Sometimes the rabbits fight because of different and unusual smells. You can try rubbing onion or garlic on their bottoms -- will take over the smell of the rabbit and the other rabbit will get used to the smell. If you don't want them to smell different put vanilla or Vicks Vapo Rub on their noses but this only works on fostering babies, I doubt it will work in grown rabbits as they SEE quite well.
What me and my family did, is we kept the rabbits in separate cages and about once a week or month, we put the rabbits together and let them fight for a little bit. To make them stop for a little bit at that moment, you can spray them with water and then we let them keep on fighting. Then we tried again the next week or month.
Can a crocodile gecko live with a green anole?
Male iguanas may get territorial and may bite the anole. Female iguanas can live with other lizards quite peacefully provided the other reptile isn't territorial. Make sure there's a lot of room in the tank/cage and plenty of hiding places for them to destress. Keep an eye on everyone because theyre likely to get sick at least initially when caged with other reptiles. Also anoles love to eat crickets. Iguanas are vegetarians and crickets may often bite and injure the iguana.
Is it safe to put a panther gecko and a leopard gecko in the same cage?
No as they are two different species with different needs. The Majority of reptiles do much better in their own environment, alone. The stress put on animals that are caged together is high and the end results is usually one kills the other.
Usually tropical humid environmental. they can live other places depending on what kind of gecko it is but they usually live near the equator.
How do you clean a crested geckos tank?
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! [This answer is dedicated to Spotty- RIP] (12/25/08- 1/2/09)
How old is mature lepord gecko?
I would say somewhere by 8/12 month's possibly more depending on the leopard gecko.
Do Leopard Geckos like to live in a cold or warm climate?
Warm. They're originally from Pakistan and India (as well as some other countries around those two) and most owners use a heat lamp/rock during the day. Try not to use the rock, they tend to get too hot and burn the gecko, and if you use a lamp use one that gives off light as well. They're safer.
Leopard geckos are carnivorus. Young leopard geckos in captivity should eat small crickets and small meal worms and small tomato worms that are dusted in a vitimon supilment. Larger,older leopard geckos in captivity should eat larger crickets,mealworms, tomatoworms, and wax worms. Wax worms are a treat and should only be fed every couple weeks. Make sure to have a veriety avaible to the geckos. Many owners feed pregnant females pinkies (new born mice). I do not recomend because leopard geckos in the wild do not eat pinkies.
you can also feed large leopard geckos super worms,as long as you crush there heads so their almost dead by the time your Leo eats them. if they are not dead they can possibly eat their way out o the stomach
A small gecko should not be eating any live feeder wider than the size between your geckos eyes. The animals can usually eat pinhead crickets, fruit flys, or depending on the species, even enjoy meal replacement powder every so often.
Does a leopard gecko need a heated rock?
it is helpful. just get the tank to the right temps on each side with or without it. I don't use one but I know a lot of people who do:) Warm (Basking) side- 85-100 degrees Fahrenheit. Cool side- 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit.
Do you have to feed leopard geckos crickets?
You do not have to feed your leopard gecko just crickets, you can feed your leopard gecko mealworms as a main staple of the diet also. You can also feed your leopard geckos waxworms as a treat, you want to be stingy with these because your leopard gecko can get addicted to the waxworms and not eat anything else. Hope I helped!
They will eat just about any small insect when hungry, care should be taken to ensure that they are not able to eat any poisonous insects. Spiders are generally fine, but eating certain caterpillars are most definitely not good for geckos - or any other lizard.
The male gecko will bite the female starting at the tail moving its way up to the neck when it reaches the soft bit on her neck he will haul him self on top of her she will lift up her tail and allow him to mate with her. there is much noise and a gecko may be killed in the process of doing it.
Honestly, you can use any name, whether it's made up or real is up to you. I like to name things with exotic or fantasy based names.
How many leopard geckos are left in the wild?
you can't know how many are left in the wild because they multiply everyday.
No. Crocodiles are in a group by themselves - they are very large reptiles that live in and around bodies of water. Geckos are very small lizards that usually live in trees.
The name comes from the small tropical and subtropical lizards of the family Gekkonidae, having toes padded with setae containing numerous suction cups that enable them to climb on vertical surfaces.
I live in Vietnam surrounded by Geckos. The name comes from the sound large Geckos make, which sounds similar to the word gecko. "geec...koooo"
EDIT: According to Wikipedia - "...The name stems from the Indonesian/Javanese word Tokek, inspired by the sound these animals make..." Snakester1962 (Supervisor)

Where is the geico gecko in the geico commercial from?
While often mistaken for Australian, the GEICO gecko's accent is British. More precisely, southeast English (London or home counties). The British/Australian mix-up is used to comic effect in a commercial set in a boardroom meeting. In the wild they are found in warm climates around the world.
