gecko care
Leopard geckos are the easiest to care for of all geckos. Keeping a leopard gecko habitat setup is easy, so long as you do your homework. Geckos thermoregulate, so a cold and warm hide are both important. To help with shedding hides are necessary regardless.
Leopard Gecko Diet
These geckos are almost always primarily fed mealworms. We offer mealworms for sale online as well. Also, crickets may also be fed, typically they are dusted with a calcium with vitamin d3 combination. Crickets may also be gut loaded by feeding them a high quality variety of greens.
Leopard gecko supplements
We use a combination of Reptical Reptile Calcium with Vitamin D3 mixed 50/50 ratio with Reptivite, or Vionate as a vitamin and mineral supplement.
Water
Some say that geckos consume enough hydration thru the insects in which they eat. We here at Gecko Fire provide all of our reptiles for sale including our leopard geckos filtered water. Fresh filtered water should be provided at all times to ensure proper hydration.
gecko Humidity
While humidity is semi-important, most of that can be handled by simply supplying humid hides. Humid hides are also used for nesting and are most beneficial for shedding. Provide both a warm humid hide as well as a cool humid hide. We normally place a heat pad on the underside of the terrarium or aquarium setup underneath the one hide. The other side is usually kept cool by providing a hide that is in the cooler end of the habitat. Shedding is often done within the hides and the geckos often eat their own skin. In nature, they do this to avoid predators finding them.
Leopard gecko habitat setup
Unless you are considering breeding leopard geckos, or being a leopard gecko breeder, we recommend 1 male, or multiple females. Up to 4 females can be housed together in a simple 20 gallon tank, or aquarium. We use paper towels as a substrate as they are most sanitary and cheapest. Reptile carpet is often used to add color to the setup. Try to stay away from using loose substrate, like sand, or gravel as it could lead to impaction based complications.
Leopard gecko Substrate
Substrate can be as simple as a paper towel, or reptile carpet. The main thing to consider is NOT to use anything that can cause impaction. If your leopard gecko has loose stool, sand or gravel is extremely risky. It may also be accidentally ingested during feeding, which also can cause complications or death.
