So far

I know no one is really to interested but here is how things are going so far.

Leo is being weird.. In a good way I guess, it keeps on hiding under the paper towel, instead of in any of its 3 hides..

Little bugger ate 8 small mealworms today.

its in a 20 gallon tank, at least.

I'm dusting with calcium/d3 daily, and multi weekly.

We just switched to mealies. It was used to eating cricks at the store.

it made it through its first shed good, ate all the skin, no left around the toes.

Pretty tolerant of touching, for its age. I know your not supposed to try untill a few weeks after, but with all the moving from home to home, and differnt hides, it was unavoidable. the leo was pretty jumpy, but after a hand feeding today, it was pretty calm from the usual.

D3 Shouldnt be given daily as in large quantities it can be toxic. And weird geckos are common, Frank had a gecko that kept going upside down to crawl under its heavy paper at the ny white plains metro show. And if the substrate is loose then they will go under it if they feel like it. A 20 gal is plenty spacious for one gecko, what age exactly is it?

I wouldnt dust the cricks everyday, even for babies, do every other feeding :).
I'm feeding the leo small mealworms, and my beardie crickets, its easyer to do mealies, with it, and apparently there fine for leo's to eat.

mealies are fine for leos, I personally reccomend to feed a variety, mine eat cricks but get mealies to.

They say that they are un-nutritious, and very hard to digest.
