Leaving baby gecko for a weekend

[skitch92]

Hi all. I got my new gecko 3 weeks ago and he's doing absolutely wonderful. Eating like a tank and very active.

I have a vacation home that I travel to on weekends in the summer and was wondering how I should go about taking care of him during these times. Currently, I am using a UTH with a Hydrofarm digital thermostat for heat mats to control his temps. Usually set around 90 during the day, 78 at night.

Can anyone provide some advice on how I should set the thermostat if I'm going to be leaving him for a day or two? I would obviously be leaving him a good supply of mealworms, since she eats a lot, as well as water. I'm more concerned about controlling the temperatures.

Thanks everyone for any help!

I have my thermostat set at 93 all day, all night. 78 is WAY too cold for anytime of the day or night. You would be best off to just set it at 93 and leave it.

I agree. My temps stay around 92-94 all the time.
