We just got a leo gecko on 10/15/07. She is a young female, between a year and a year and a half old and around 6 1/2 inches. She is what we thought to be underweight, with no fat pockets under her arms, and only a slight bulge in her tail.
The people who had her before us only fed her crickets which they didn't dust, nor were they particularly careful about giving her a size she could actually eat. she wasn't offered any kind of supplement or a humid hide.
She now gets mealworms daily, has calcium available to her at all times (in a dish) and gets either correctly sized crickets or roaches once to twice a week.
She shed on 10/27, again on 11/13, and is turning white again now and will shed again, either today or tomorrow.
Is that to often? I know she is still growing and I know she had some weight to gain, but that just seems a little excessive to me.
What do all of you experts think?
