Anyone with Leachies? (New Caledonian Giant Geckos)

[SnakeKeeper]

I'm going to the Sacramento expo tomorrow. I'm getting some snakes, frozen rodents, maybe a treat of butterworms for the beardie, as usual, but for a while now I've been considering getting a rhac. I think leachies are gorgeous and I love their size. I've been reading up on them, but I do have a few remaining questions.

1. If I offer fruit 1-2x per week and roaches 1x per week (dusted with calc+D3 and herptivite), can a leachie live primarily on CGD?

2. Prices for babies? Juvies? Adults? (Remember, this is at an expo. I know for a fact that there are a few reputable gecko breeders that will be there.)

3. What types of fruits? Are veggies okay? Greens?



Thanks to all. I'm SUPER excited about this!!

I highly recommend getting one, they are amazing. I just feed mine CGD, maybe I should look into feeding fruits...expect to pay 300+ for a baby adults are more like 800-1500

Thanks! I really really wanted to get one, but I didn't find any at the expo that were really in my price range, so I ended up with a gargoyle. I adore her, but I'm still planning to get a leachie sometime in the future.

Mine eats mostly CGD. She used to eat roaches a couple times a week, but she doesn't show much interest in them now that she's full grown.
