I will be getting a leopard gecko soon and was wondering this:?


feeding geckos

feed gecko(s) every evening live food eat in ½ hour.

don't limit food crickets , mealworms.
diet should contain mixture of:
* brown crickets (never black)
* wax worms
* small cockroaches
* mealworms
* locust hoppers
* phoenix [calci-] worms

food should heavily coated in calcium carbonate 5-days-a-week , reptile multi-vitamin powder other 2 days

heating should provided heat mat 1/3 rd of size of vivarium attached or side wall of enclosure. connect simple "100 watt mat 'stat" set 75ºf.
probe should sited @ cool end of enclosure 3" off substrate level.

despite many people say, geckos need uv light. install 10% compact uv fluorescent lamp such http://www.123aquatics.co.uk/images/stor...
@ warm end of viv. , leave switched on 12-14 hours day. nocturnal lizards aim turn lights off 7:00 pm.

our lg's sleep within 3 cm of lamp time during day tails sticking out of hides uv light need.
