Hi everyone!
I just have a few questions regarding the husbandry of my new leopard gecko, Casey (His\her name for now, lol) he\she is two weeks old and I got her two days ago from a reptile breeder.
1: I strictly tong feed him\her mealworms for now, is that okay? I'm not sure if I should just tong feed or put the mealies in a bowl for him\her to eat. otherwise, he\she's a great eater! ate four mealworms the first night.
2: I let her\him crawl on my hand today. is this too early for me to be trying to handle him\her? otherwise the only time I disturb her\him is to mist the moist hide or feeding time which is at 7pm.
3: Haven't seen him\her poop or drink yet, is this concerning?
4: How often should I mist and change out the paper towels in the moist hide, and clean the tank in general? I've heard mixed opinions.
5: When and how can I check Casey's gender? the breeders said I can tell at six months.
6:Lastly, I've attached a picture of Casey and my tank set up below in case I've done something wrong with my tank layout. the substrate is non adhesive drawer liner with paper towels underneath. if you guys see any obvious signs that my gecko is sick please let me know, but she\he looks healthy to me!
