How many mealworms do you feed a gecko lizard in one day?

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

Can a crested gecko live with a house gecko?

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.

What temperature does a leopard geckos need?

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.

Can a gecko change colore?

A gecko does not change colour. the physical appereance of any gecko can alter from a really high contrast to low. This is what hobbyist's reffer to as "firing up" or "firing down". Like humans geckos have pigments in their skin. These pigments are able to lighten and darken depending on a few factors:

  • A gecko will fire up when exposed to UVB lighting.
  • A gecko will fireup when stressed.
  • Depending on being diurnal or nocturnal, a gecko will fire up when active.

Gecko species do not change colour but they will fire up or down.

This is why a high red specimen will usually look salmon/pink/white during the "fired down" phase and within minutes, even seconds can turn to an intense red.

Do geckos eat rolli pollis?

What is the white stuff that comes out of crested geckos?

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.)

Can leopard gecko eat mealworm pupa morphing into s beetle?

Mealworm Pupa or what breeders reffer to as "aliens" are a very tough exo skeleton insect. During this stage the worms are protected by their outter shell and this makes them very difficult to digest and swollow. Most leopard geckos would not eat them as they do not move enough for the insect to grasp the geckos attention. I do not reccomend using mealworm pupa "aliens" as feeders.

How do tokay gecko camouflage them self?

As Humans do, Geckos have Pigments in their Skin. These pigments lighten and darken with the amount of light the gecko's body has recieved. A gecko will go into a darker area, escaping the light and sight on a darker piece of wood, knowing their bodys are cooler and the colours are darker.

Not like a Chameleon, who is able to mimic the colour that they are currently touching.
