Geckos

A leopard gecko can go two weeks without food, but it is best to feed him/her ten crickets (or more) a week. I find it handy to put about twenty crickets or less in the cage with my leopard gecko at a time, as long as you keep an apple (or potato) slice for the crickets in the container and let him eat at his own pace. My gecko actually eats twenty crickets a week, but I don't think this amount is necessary because he has gotten a very fat tail (that is where they store extra fat). I've never tried pinkies or mealworms before, but I'm sure this method would work the same, but put the food they eat in the container and you don't need to feed quite as much to your leopard gecko.

The leopards niche in the wild is a very complex yet simple role to understand. The leopard is a nocturnal predator which stalks its prey, with great agility and strength. The leopard, is not picky about its food, it will eat any thing it finds even dead animals, or humans. The leopard will kill and stalk humans in small groups and eat them, seeing them as prey. Humans have started to get angry over this, and have killed numerous leopards with their guns, leaving the carcass of the large cat for scavengers. The leopard will hunt during the day and at night, allowing it too kill numerous types of animals. The leopard will take baths in rivers and can swim. The leopard is hunted by no creature, but hunts many carnivores still. the leopard has many branches from its family such as the Amur leopard, which hunts in cold snowy conditions. This animal does not hibernate, so during the winter, its primary food source is starved deer, and sleeping carnivores. The Amur leopard is almost endangered so many carcasses of deer are left during the winter to become maggot infested.

A baby gecko will eat the same type of diet as the adults but in smaller portions and smaller feeders. A baby gecko will require feedings daily. They can eat pinhead crickets, wingless fruitflys or small roaches depending on size of the animal.

The eye of a gecko is red so it's nocturnal. The eye - actually, to be more specific, the retinae, of a gecko is the reason why geckos are nocturnal. It's rather complicated to explain, but to make it short, the reason why geckos are nocturnal is due mostly the arrangement of cones and rods in the eye of a gecko. The cones and rods are description that is given to the shape of cells in the eye that help with sight, but they are also referred to as such.

Yes, almost any exotic animal store will carry species of geckos. As well as most aquarium stores and pet stores. It is always a good idea to seek out a local breeder. The animals are more likely to be kept properly, be healthier and it also supports your local community verses importing from other countries where the animals could be infested with mites, growths and disease.

Some geckos do and some geckos don't- it depends on the temperature that they were born with. If they were born at a hot temperature, they will be a hot female which means that they are very aggressive and won't like that much company. Male geckos usually want a companion with them, but sometimes, they will get tired of their companion and want their space back. Then, they will just keep wanting another female gecko again and again...ugh, men!

No. Most reptiles don't care for their young, with the exceptions of crocodiles and other members of that family. When a mother lizard lays her eggs, she will watch them until they hatch. When they hatch, the mother lizard will leave, leaving the babies to fend for themselves.

Yes, geckos eat their skin. But first, their skin will get all white as they prepare to shed it off. Eventually, after about a week since their skin started getting white, the gecko will start to chew their skin off, revealing a beautiful new layer of colourful skin. The reason that geckos eat their shedded skin instead of just leaving it like snakes do is because their skin has calcium in it and it is healthy for them. While the gecko is young and still growing, it will shed about once a month, when the gecko becomes full size, it will on shed about 2-5 times a year.

one baby is born

yes even if they grow up together they will fight to the death

No, lizards typically need no heat lamps and actually can stand very cold temperatures it is recommended that you let your pet lizard in your home freezer (with the door open) at least once a month.

Usually you can find them in dark warm places. Depending on your location. If you live in a very warm wooded area then look under some slightly elevated rocks. If that doesn't work, then check your shed if you have. I hope this helped you. Cya

The Rhacodactylus Cilatus, as well as it's neighbouring cousins are omnivores. Relying on a variety of: fallen fruits, Tree saps, Pollens, Nectar, Crickets, Roaches, Worms, etc.. They require the variety in their diet for the best results in growth and development. A crested geckos jaw structure is a lot weaker due to their diet. Due to this most breeders recommend a softer exo skeleton, and crickets and Dubai roaches perfectly match their needs.

Crickets being distributed throughout chain pet stores are constantly changing. The reptile hobby has now introduced the black field cricket, they are known to be harmful to your gecko if left in the terrarium over night, do not leave a feeding unattended using these. the common brown cricket is also readily available. The biggest difference between the two are their tendencies to jump. The blacks are a lot more active and the geckos have a dandy time chasing them down. Either of the two species of crickets are acceptable for the crested gecko.

Your crested should be on a weekly feeding routine, this can vary depending on the owner. Some people offer crickets once a week others twice a month. A healthy stable diet for both baby/young and or adult geckos are similar but this could be an accepted schedule:

They live in New Caledonia. In South Province to be exact. Once thought extinct they were rediscovered on New Caledonia, which lies in the southwest Pacific, in 1994.

No. Both male and female geckos exist. However, in the case that no male geckos are available for mating, females can reproduce asexually to produce offspring genetically identical to itself. This is a common trait found in many reptiles and amphibians.

I believe Jurassic Park (the movie; I have yet to read the novel) draws on this idea when the female-only population of dinosaurs begins laying eggs and rearing young.

Sand is the leading cause for impaction. Once the animal ingests sand, it can build up in the digestive tracks and the animal won't be able to pass it. Once impacted, most animals will not eat or drink due to the pain and this can lead to death. Most breeders do not reccomend loose substrates for this reason.

Depending on the species, Papertowel is a great source for holding moisture as well as it is very easy to clean and dispose of, as well as affordable.

The westland Green gecko or Naultinus tuberculatus are native to the forest's of New Zealand. They are a live bearing gecko meaning they do not lay eggs, they have their young live. They are an endangered species as well and due to these two factors, they are worth a very shiny penny.

Unless you have two sexually mature males in the same enclosure, they shouldn't be. They are usually docile. They are a lot less flighty and skittish than leopard geckos when they are young and don't make too much of a fuss over being handled. Although in some cases, a female can express signs of dominance and can bully around other tank mates. Always be sure to monitor tank mates to ensure no fighting is happening. Be sure to quarantine animals prior to adding them to another animal/ group.

Keep on feeding your gecko. Don't feed it too much though or else it'll die.

Yeah but, I got my gecko about 2 years ago when he was already an adult. I live about 4 miles away from the nearest petshop so i accidentally ended up starving him for about 2 months, i know its sick and if feel really bad. His tail is now very, very thin and he wont eat. I have managed to feed him a few mealworms and pachnodas and now have superworms. But i wanna make his tail get a lot bigger and make him healthy so what is the best food for him to eat, i heard pachnodas have a lot of protein but how can i build up his tail?

They are reptiles and they live alone .

it is really simple all You need is a bowl u can get one by getting a paper cup and cutting the top off so u have about 1 inch left on the bottom u put calcium in it u can buy it from petsmart i reccomend rept cal no d3 d3 can hurt your pet but only enough calcium so u cant see the bottom.

geckos are cooler but you cant do much with them. hamters are fun but only live for 2 years.

If I were you I would not do it. Feed them live crickets, mealworms, waxworms.Not BEEF!!!!!!You can feed an adult Leo with a pinkie once in a while.

figi water is clean

Most chameleons are housed in a screened terrarium due to the lack of humidity they require. A crested gecko cannot sustain life in a screened terrarium due to the humidity that they require. These two species would never come face to face in the wild, therefore should not be housed together within the same terrarium. Animals of different areas/continents/regions cannot be housed together. They would require completely different heat, humidity, lighting, mistings etc..
