I just got a fat tail, to spray or not to spray that is the question.

Hey there fellow gecko enthusiasts, I have a very important question that I can't seem to find on google. The breeder told me: yes well, these lizards are only slightly different from leopard geckos in the seance that they need more moisture.

Should I spray the little guy with a spray bottle? I do this to my leo when he is near molting. He hated it at first but now enjoys it because it seems to help him get his shed off.

Should I spray the little guy every day? He seems to hate it.

One of my fat tails in particular really liked to drink the droplets of water and since I have a planted tank, I would spray some mornings (the enclosure, not the gecko) to provide drinking drops.

Alright well, I made a humid hole but he hates it. Any tips fellow reptile lovers? Atm no luck.
(I'm happy to say he is eating well. btw Currently sitting my shoulder. :)) Do any of you have good blue prints for one that he will like. He's kind of cramped in a 15 gal for now. So it does have to be small.

Also do I put the himid hole on the cold side or the warm side?

lol nice! Good idea. My leo actually likes to lick the droplets directly off his head when I spray him lol. it's so cute! Man leo is huge, I wish he wasn't a male or I wouldn't have to cram my Tod in a 15 gal until I can get a bigger tank.

By the way... do they need at least a 20 gallon long or 30 gallon like leopard geckos? Because he doesn't seem as active as a lep

Mine loves her humid hide...I have a tupperware container half filled with ecoearth...I have the lid on the top but with a corner cut out of the lid and she climbs in there regularly. It turns out the top of the lid is her potty..the only place she ever goes...so I just take the tupperware out daily, clean the lid where and spray the bedding and we are good to go.

My girl has some issue with her tail and when I was trying to figure out what is going on with it, I tried spraying it directly to get it really clean....that was the only time my sweetie has ever hissed in the whole time I have had her...she REALLY didn't like being misted. I have never tried misting my leopard's directly...maybe I should try it. They are kind of grumpy girls already so if they don't like it, I shudder to think what they will be like madder-LOL.
