What is left behind in a leopard geckos droppings is the hard exterior of the insect that the animal is not able to use for nutritional pruposes. Therefore it is left behind, the exo skeleton is also hard to digest.
it is simple don't worry get a small plastic box cut out a hole in the side at the top (remember try to smooth it out) and put moss you get at a pet shop in it and mist and leave your gecko to wait he will be as good as new in no time...
Some maggots, such as soldier fly larvae (sold as 'phoenix worms') are a very healthy addition to reptile diets.
For the most part, a maggot (fly larva) is just a snack for an insectivorous reptile. Not all maggots taste good, however.
It would be amazing to see a Crested gecko close its eyelid when it goes to sleep as they do not have them. Crested Geckos are part of the lidless gecko family. What actually happens when they sleep is their pupils contract to the smallest of slits and the eye will sink slightly into the orbital socket.
Sorry they do not eat ANY vegetables. They are insectivores, meat eaters, so feed them crickets. As treats give them meal worms, wax worms, and/or super worms.
IF absolutely necessary, this should only be done by a vet - If done incorrectly, you could damage the skin around the nails, possibly causing bleeding which if not immediately treated, could end with the death of the lizard !
One of the BEST ways to keep a lizards nails in check - is to provide a small area of rough slate on the floor of the vivarium - that way, when the lizards walks on it, the nails will naturally be filed down.
If you are talking about in the rip in the sky, the geckos name is Pae. Also, check reference in the green book in the library, also in the rip in the sky.
YES! Leopard geckos do not naturally live on sand and when they eat their food they lunge at it, eating some sand accidentally. This causes problems in the stomach which can lead to your leopard gecko dying.
Well i don't think you should put any other geckos in the tank with a leopard gecko. If you have 2 male and 1 female dont put the males together or else they will fight to death for the female.
The male gecko will have dots on its private. The female gecko will have no spots.
Males have Hemiphorical pores on their bottom sides. These "pores" are darker in colouration and resemble a "V" shape leading to the Base of the body.
Unless you are breeding and raising your own moths I would not recommend using them as feeders. Animals captured from the outdoors always have the risk of parasites. On top of that, pesticides and bacteria could make the gecko become very sick and possibly put any other gecko at risk in your collection as well. There are wholesalers of hawk moths and these are very nutritional for a crestie.
Flying geckos are insectivores, relying on a variet of live feeders such crickets, roaches, beetles etc..
Leopard geckos cannot eat spinach, but they can eat crickets, meal worms, superworms, are all great choices leopard geckos like varity so change it up!

Yes, most gecko species make great life time pets for all ages. The initial startup cost is pricey and must be done in order to ensure the animal's health is well. Cleaning after geckos as well as maintaining them is affordable and quick. They require only an hours' worth of work a week and are able to be unattended for extended periods of time.
plate tailed geckos eat desert insects and flying insects.
Basically - do some research !
There are MANY books on reptiles available at your local library to help you care for geckos successfully.
One point to not - if you're going to release it back into the wild - make sure you set it free in the same area you found it !
If I were you I wouldn't put anything in with a gecko. Well... you could put a cricket in but it would get eaten. Geckomaster You could put an anole in the tank; they'd get along just fine. I've seen it done before.
When mature a male has a v shape of pores at the base of his tail, (underside) females don't.
Check a Vet,
They know Gender's for animal's, If they don't allow a leopard, You have to choose a good Vet, & a Leopard is a wild animal, I hope you find a place to check it's gender!
Good Luck!
Keep it safe & sound

If you have an albino lepard gecko you should go to a pet store nearest you and ask an employee. They will show you what to house them in. If you have an albino lepard gecko you should go to a pet store nearest you and ask an employee. They will show you what to house them in.
Indo-Pacific geckos are an invasive species but don't let that name fool you, they have not been shown to compete aggressively with native species for the most part. The brown anole by contrast is much more invasive to the SE US and has driven the native Carolina Anole out in many regions. The gecko is a successful invasive species due to its reproductive abilities; they are parthenogenic, which means the all female population lay fertilized eggs without males that hatch into genetic replicas of themselves. They are neither toxic to native wildlife or humans; rather thet are quite accomplished pest eaters, and will gladly consume all of the cockaroaches in their territory.
