what type of geck do i have?

[Embrace Calamity]

I’ve been holding them in from of her the past few weeks so I could make sure she could get them but I'm trying to get her to chase and what not now. So I decided to put a few in a 10g tank with her for about 30 mins. She got 3 for the 4 and didn’t touch the mealworm. But I don’t want her to get lazy fat so I did it this way, also I didn’t want the crickets to get lost in her cage and hurt her. This is only the second day that I did it so im not to worry about it.

Basically for two weeks I hand feed her anywhere from 3 to 5 crickets daily, and now im going to do it this way for a while hopefully she will get stronger and pig out, she could be like Allyson Felix when she sees the crickets.

But also if she eats more than 3 a day I’m happy.

Oh, okay. That's good then. I'm sure he'll be alright.

Yay she looks a whole lot better, happier and active!

My male does the same thing and is horrid at catching crickets. When the cricket starts to move he strikes like a half centimeter to the side of it. He's not quick or smart. I usually toss all his crickets into a solo cup and let him stick his head in and feast away with no chance of missing...lol

That's not a bad idea.

Because I put like 4 crickets in and I only expect her to get 3 I don't really want to chop their legs off because that one that didn't get eaten will most likely die because it a cripple and I'm not a surgeon, lol. Plus she is getting exercise.

Hey just for updates, Jasmine is pushing 35 grams, and is look great but she is still skinny in the waist.
But I got another gecko she looks like a Jungle but I really don’t know and she is a fatty fat fat. She is at about 43 grams and is only 6 months old. I introduce her to jasmine but for a second but she didn’t like her she started biting her. All jasmine did was act like a stupid head lol. At first Marley started stalking her then next thing I know she was latching on to her side. Jasmine was just running around like a dumb dumb. I think jasmine has mental problems too, lol. She is always on the move never sits still when she saw Marley she just turned around and was like lala lala.
