I just bought my Donald last Saturday from LLL Reptile. He is a Sunglow. Still young. I have fed him mealworms, crickets. I gave him 6 crickets yesterday and he ate 4. He also shed. I see the crickets eat his shed too. So I am here because I like talking to others about their Geckos and I like talking about mine. Right now I have my Donald in a plastic, 8 x 12 tank. Aspen substrate, water dish, food dish, one coconut hide, and leaves as another hide. I would love to use sand but I heard and read it was not good for them. Do Geckos do better with there being 2 or just 1?

Congratulations on your new gecko. They do better alone.

Hi and welcome to GF, lovely to have you with us and nice pic.
Leo's are better on their own, i had 2 a good while back and they don't seem to settle like one does.
I brought my blaze a good 2mths back surposed to be a male but he's turned out to be a female.lol and she's only 8mths old. I feed her 5 crickets each night and do them in calcium 3 times a week, she's shred her skin already and she'd eaten it by the next morning and when i feed her at night i spray the tank with luke warm water as they love that, they think they're in the dessert and drink the water dripping from the artifical trees.
I use sand for Blaze but it's children's playing sand and that's ok for them because if they eat it, it goes straight through them and can't harm them at all.
