Not eating

[Adam]

Going to get a completely new set up over Christmas and hopefully get my Geckos appetite back.

After signing up to this forum i realise how much people in pet shops haven't got a clue. More than likely going to go out and get a glass tank and get a heat mat. Thanks for the help though, appreciate it.

Never, ever, ever listen to people in pet shops. They might mean well, but the chances they're actually an expert in anything is very slim. They're just trained to sell stuff. And if you get a 20 long (which is what I'd recommend), I'd also recommend getting three dry hides instead of two - one on the cool end, one in the middle, and one on the hot end (and humid hide in the middle). More than likely, your gecko won't need to often use the cool end because of the huge temp gradient that 20L tanks give.

Thanks for the advice. What do mean by 20 long though? Dont know whether measurements are different in USA lol

Well there is a 20 gallon tall which is more for fish and then there is a 20 gallon long which is longer and has more floor space.

Aquarium Tank, Glass, 20-Gal: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

That is a 20 tall

Amazon.com: R-Zilla SRZ100009650 Critter Cage 20 long, Black: Pet Supplies

That is a 20 long

Thanks for searching them out on Amazon. The 20 long looks good, isn't as high as the tank ive got as well which is a good thing because any higher i'd have to have some movement in my room as ive got shelves above where my tank is. Is that one on Amazon just what ill be needing then? Want to make sure before i go for it.

Just realised, i'm not sure whether that could be delivered over to the UK. Searched that on the co.uk Amazon and no search results came up.

20L tanks aren't too hard to come by, and shipping would be horrendous if ordered online. Check out any nearby classifieds listings, and you can also check any and all pet stores in your area. You should be able to find one pretty easily.

Yeah I see them all the time on local classifieds and the pet stores always have some.

Good thing I don't have any pet stores in my area, or else I'm sure I'd walk in to buy crickets and come out with a whole new setup and a new reptile that I really don't need. XD

Just buy a ten gallon tank and a heat mat and a thermometer with a probe, and hell probanly start eating although might not eat a bunch cause its winter.
