Geckos

A leopard gecko comes from the deserts of Afganistan and south easter Asia. A Crested gecko comes from the rainforests of New Caledonia. Their habitats are much to different from one another to ever co-exist. All Gecko species are territorial and will not greet one of the same species unless its breeding season. Do not house any other specie with a crested gecko or a leopard gecko.

No, a cat will come to no harm eating one of these lizards.

The average length of a gecko is 2 inches up to 8 inches.

it could mean they are shedding but most likely they are dying, my freinds geko turned white right before dying :[

In captivity, Tokays are known to grow up to 100Grams + extending over 10-12Inches.

There has been recorded case's where some tokays in their natural habitat are reaching 150 - 250 Grams. These animals are obese.

If you want to breed them. Leopard geckos reach maturity at about 9 months old, and a male can have several females. Beginning about 3 to 4 weeks after mating, the female gecko will have a clutch of eggs, usually 2, that hatch in about 2 months. You would be advised to keep male geckos away from the eggs and the young hatchlings.

a leopard is 5 to 4 feet
6 ft long 3 ft tall

NO! They are insectivores only. Which means they only eat insect with an occasional pinkie mouse.

A gecko drops its tail as a defense mechanism induced by fear. When a predator approaches, the gecko is able is drop the tail and leave it behind to entice the predator. However, the gecko then loses the fat stored in its tail that will keep it healthy during times when food is harder to find.

yes but try not to feed more than 3 or 4 a day b/c meal worms are varry fatty and try to avoid feeding them too many meal worms. after ur gecko has eaten them give them a bit of chicken baby food to help the digestion system. U can do this by put some baby food on the tip of ur finger and then whipe it on the end of their nose, the gecko will eventually lick it off. i would give them 2 or 3 lickfulls of the baby food. oh and also mix a little of their calcium powder in the baby food. this is VERY important, so do not forget to do this!

The teeth are very tiny and so while sharp enough to grab onto a small insect, as he slams his mouth shut, they usually do not puncture human skin. If a gecko is really convinced a small finger is a tasty worm to eat: you may find an adult with the strength of his jaw can draw blood as he scratches the surface of the skin but it will not be a deep wound. If he catches the side of your hand however he will realise not tasty snack and not clamp down hard.

In what I know, leopard geckos eat veggies. I hope that helps!

leopard geckos still eat insects. go with a crested gecko they can eat crested gecko diet, that is powder that you mix with water and they eat fruit and yogurt but mainly feed him the diet, and if you can try giving him a cricket or two every two weeks but its not nessesary, they're better than leopard geckos cause of their diet, and while a leopard gecko would sit and look pretty a crested gecko actually moves, their housing is usually cheaper because they're aborial and need a tall tank insted of a long one like a leopard gecko's. and rainforest tanks for cresteds look better than desert style tanks for leopard geckos. and cesteds come in more varieties including yellow with black spots if you like the leopard look, to me they are better to handle when you learn how to handle them than leopards, just observe tem in the tank and watch the pose they go into before they jump that way when you handle them you can know when to stop them and block their path before they jump, don't worry they take their sweet time in getting ready for a jump, but for safety handle them close to the floor and preferably over carpet hope this helps you

To raise a lepord gecko, you need to have a good sized cage, climbing activity, a wet box, a cricket bowl, cricket calcium, crickets from PET STORES, a daylight bulb, a nocturnal bulb (you should have the day light bulb placed in at 9am or earlier until 7:50pm, and that's when you place the night bulb in)., a cricket cage.

For just one leopard gecko, a ten gallon tank is fine. For two, ten is OK, fifteen is good, and twenty is ideal. Add around five to ten gallons per leopard gecko for a comfortable living space.

unlike fish, geckos will only eat as much as they need and not overeat. I usually give mine 10 mealworms and 1 waxworm in a night and sometimes find 1 or maybe 2 mealworms still in the food dish. Some nights I see nothing and sometimes I see a bowl full of worms. The mornings I wake up to a full bowl I know that my gecko probably looks like a car with a new paint job (yah it molted) As they get older they will eat less as they can store more fat and have a slower metabolism. (just like us, although we do tend to eat more) Good-Luck with your gecko

silk worms and they have a good source of protein and other healthy things. Plus crickets smaller than your leopard geckos head and you can feed your leopard gecko Wax worms but it's not healthy to feed your gecko Wax worms daily they don't have a stable diet!!!!! Also if you are going to feed crickets to the leopard gecko it has to be a size as big as in between their eyes.

The yellow thing is probably the new tail growing back in its place. i wouldn't worry. also, when the new tail grows back, it will be ugly and not as good looking as the previous one was.

Assuming you mean 2. Yes you can. However you must monitor them closely as if one grows faster than the other and the weight difference becomes too large the bigger one may stress the smaller one or attack it. At sexual maturity they will need to be separated if they are two males as they will probably start fighting. If male and female from the same clutch and you want to keep them together please don't incubate the eggs. As all captive cresteds come from a select few originals we need to keep the gene pool as large as possible to avoid all the problems associated with inbreeding.

on the underside of a crested gecko are two visable organs. The intestines and the liver. They are dark blue in coloration, almost black. On each side of these dark organs are where the eggs will be visable if "egg bound"

One side of the cage should be warm, and you can achieve this with a heatpad. I don't recommend a heat lamp because leos are nocturnal and the constant light in their eyes causes them to be stressed out. The temperature of the warm side should be around 85-90 °F. The cool side should be 60-70°F.

no do not feed your gecko anything other than food you get at the pet store

It's hard to say without seeing it and knowing which animal it's from, but if it's hard, then it's probably bone. Snakes swallow their prey whole. They do have quite powerful digestive enzymes but there are still parts of their food that they can't digest, so these pass through undigested. If the white stuff is fuzzy, it could be fungus (mold). If the white stuff looks squashy then it is urine or pee (this usually happens to lizards for Example Bearded Dragons, Geckos, Etc.)

yes they are Added: No they are not , Not all. Some species are becoming really rare to find , Some are extincted but many geckos that are kept in captivity are extremely common. Leopard geckos , Crested geckos , Common house gecko , Fat tailed geckos and more are easy to breed geckos that are now almost everywhere in the pet shops.
