hi, i am still fairly new to leopard geckos, but am babysitting some geckos over the summer.
First of all ill give you some background. These geckos are school geckos, meaning somebody didn't want them and dumped them off on the school animal science department. Only problem is they don't have proper conditions. They are on crushed walnut, have 2 hides for 3 geckos, and 1 hide for 1 gecko ( in a differnent tank), they use basking lights for bearded dragons and the female geckos are an estimated 25grams and having infertile eggs
:main_angry:. Once i found out i brought calcium and mealworms ( they hadn't been fed their usually crickets for about 2 weeks). So i decided to take care of them over summer break, one problem i have is i believe there is a really good chance they have some type of parasite but am not sure so i dont want them close to my other geckos, but my gecko room is very restriced and the farthest i can get them from each other is about 10 feet, would parasites transfer if i use differnt utesils and sanitized before and after contact? I will be replacing the walnut with slate and the light with a heat mat and will add a termometer. What size and brand heat mat would you recommend for a 40b and a 18x18 exoterra? i dont have alot of money to spend right now, especially for geckos that aren't mine, so i would like the combo to be under $40. Thanks for reading,
