got my first leo today

[Gragar]

so i got my first leo today and im really excited my first ever

but i have a few questions
for my moist hide how often should i spray it and change the paper towels? and do i put it in the middle area?

and one more question,
i got 50 mealworms, how long do these last and i just keep them in the fridge right?
also how often do i change my mealworm dish?

so thats all for now ha
thank you

Id say spray it when it gets dry to the touch.

Meal worms last a while in the fridge, but make sure you take them out a day or two before you use them and feed them up.

Not sure what you mean by change the meal worm dish... renew the worms in it? Your leo might not eat from the dish right away

Do you have a UTH (under tank heater)?

I would put the moist hide on the hot side. BTW, whats your gecko's name?

"Gecko" will turn to "Geckos". Just like chips, you can't have just one. Congrats.

how many also depends on the age/size my leo's didnt eat for a few days but now they usually finish within a day and i give em more about every three...i only find mealies in thier water dshes...one or two lol but if the mealie is dead...take em out

i put my moist hides on the cool side. i think the 50worms will last you a week or so, if you get more geckos u might want to consider ordering your worms. welcome!

 

[Gragar]

my moist hide is in the middle now

should i give them vitamins with d3 or without it?

 

[geckoboy16]

so i need d3?

i havent thought of a name yet!

D3 is needed for proper Calcium absorption in leos

And it's okay that you don't have a name yet! Names are hard to come up with sometimes..

Keep us updated and congrats!!
