Water!?

[wolfluvr71]

I wasnt sure which one this should go under but feeding seemed the best. So I got my first leo around the 25th I believe, and he eats at least 3 to 4 mealworms a day. Whats worrying me though is that I have never seen him drink. Theres about 3 little dishes of water placed all over his tank but I dont know what to do. Hes been acting kind of odd, like moving in a jerky motion and im afraid. Maybe he isnt drinking and its affecting him? Please help!

At first my gecko didn't drink at all (at least I didn't see him do it) but now all the time he drinks. My gecko sometimes jerks a few times and I get scared too but I assume he's fine because he goes back to normal shortly after that happens. Don't be afraid, keep on changing his water. He might still be shy around you, or maybe he only wants to drink at night. Geckos can't live without water, so when he will want to drink he will drink. If anything else happens with him in a few days, post again.
Hope I helped!

I have several geckos and never seen any of them drink.
Unless you watch them 24/7 you rarely ever will.

Geckos hardly drink water, they get most of there moisture from the food they eat.
Keep a small dish in his tank with fresh water. Make sure you replace it on a daily basis. They hardly drink but when they do, you want to make sure the water is fresh and clean.

Good Luck
