hey whats up!? my name is chris im 21 I live in Sarasota FL i just attended the reptacon show at Robarts arena over the weekend ive been on the hunt for some sort of lizzard type creature and i found out the kind i like!!! lepord geckos!! I got mine from a breeder whos banner is at the top of the forum his name is Mike Rekowski he was very cool dude he helped me get the basics down on what i needed to set up my tank and such! he said my gecko is a female which i guess is more common because i hear that they are easy to sell due to the fact you can have one male per habitat correct? i actually have a ton of questions to be honest lol right now i have an awakward sized tank id say its a 15 gal? maybe a 12 its deff not a 10 or 20 i did about 75 percent of it sand and the other 25 percent in paper towels just because i hear sand is bad for them to digest? anyway i have a rock that has a whole in it where they can climb into it and i put the newzeland moss in it ive ran it threw water and rang it out just soo its nice and moist and i put about a half inch of sand between the rock and the bottom of the tank and put the heat pad under there it gets nice and warm inside of there the bigger one likes to go inside there alot but the other gecko i picked up the other day from a local pet store is still kinda shady about that place lol..
A question about mixing the 2 gecs im just wondering if its bad to buy a new gecko and put it in the tank with the other ones or should i kind of slowly introduce them to each other?? becuase the one i got at reptacon ssnapped at the one i got from the pet store but the petstore one is soo nice it just wants to cuddle up with the other one... the one from the reptacon that i got from mike is a little bit bigger then the one from the pet store but not by much!!
i plan to get 4 i have 2 now im going to wait till the next reptile show at the civic center towards the end of the year i would like to try and pic up a slighly more exotic breed i like the diablos but im into the darker color ones i have no idea what breeds i have so if someone could help me out there that would be awesome!!!
last!!! lol last of all im just curious about temps and diets... like i said i set my tank up 75-25 sand and papertowels the far left side which is my hot side is where my paper towels are i have one hide on that side made from a plastic container with a little of that NZ moss in it and there is a water dish inbetween the sand and the paper towels... on the far right side of the tank in the sand in the back corner is where the other hide is with the moss and the heat pad under it.. now is that bad that i have it warm in there and then on the oppsite side of the tank (hotside) have the temps hot?? in the middle is netural idk the temps but the sand stays cool and there is a nice 2 story hide its actually a plastic tree branch kinda thing (no fake leafs) but its goes up to the light soo they can Bask? i belive its called when they digest there food? other then that i have a few starwars toys in there and a fake cactus the bright color geco is the one i got from mike at reptacon!! and the other one (the darker one) is the one i got from a local petstore... could anyone tell me the breeds of each one??
ive been feeding them crickits i use the exoterra calcium im not sure how the diet for these goes i put about six in 3 for each gecko a day is that to less?? i know the size i need but not the ammount? and what else can they eat should i switch the diets up a bit or what??
anyways this is me!! my questions!! and my tank/geckos!!! lol thanks everyone!!!
