Quick Question...

[LeoBP]

My new gecko is worrying me a little bit...but it may not be as bad as I think...

He has a water dish, that he can easy reach...and it has fresh water in it daily, but for some reason he would rather go into his humid hide and lick the wet paper towel. Is this a problem? Has anyone had this happen before?

Thanks for any assistance that any of you could provide,
Josh

nope not any problems that i can think of he might be drinking but u just dont see it he might not be confident yet to use his water bowl...

 

[MrLeoGecko]

as long as u use paper towel without any dye's in then ure fine

Please Stop Worring Lol

 

[LeoBP]

Ya, I'm just using plain white paper towel. I didn't even think about the fact that he could be using it at night when I'm not up! Duh...now I feel like a moron....oh well.

Thanks!
Josh

As long as his poo has the white thing at the end it means he's hydrated.

 

[LeoBP]

Definately has the white thing (The urates) along with the poop...

Okay, so he's fine!

Out of my six leos I've only seen two drink, one time each. They are sneaky and do it when you aren't looking.

Yup, they are sneaky little drinkers!
Dont remove your water dish though! he may still be using it.
I dont think you have anything to worry about.
