I posted the thread "New baby gecko from petstore - very young or not healthy?" and I got TONS of great info! Thanks to you guys I took him/her off his sand, and I took out the UV/heat lamp (I just used my son's room light during the day yesterday), and many other ideas.

WELL I'm proud to update that I checked on him this morning and he hate three more mealworms BY HIMSELF last night! (My son also handfed him one yesterday). YAY! His first meal by himself. :)

I have my first batch of 20 mealworms gutloading on apple slices since yesterday, so I'll feed those today (after dusting them with calc/vitamin powder).

I think we're on the uphill swing now, I hope. I just cant wait to see him grow and get nice and fat...I cant wait for his tail to get nice and fat! :main_laugh:

Anyways, thanks again everyone! I'll keep you guys updated (and with pictures in another month comparing his growth).
