alright i just bought a frog eyed gecko and im just looking for some help on what i should do. Hes very shy and doesnt come out much at all. I have the heat lamp with a 75w bulb and a black light for night time and a heat pad on the bottom of one side of the tank and on the other side a small cave type thing for cover and some fake plants around it. I dont know whether its male of female but it just shed it skins lastnight. He hasnt ate much since ive gotten him prolly only like 5 crickets and theres quite a few in the cage right now. I calcium dust the crickets because his scales were torn when the guy at the pet store picked him up so he has a bare spot on his back by his tail. At night when i come in my room if hes out he'll get scared and run back in his cave sometimes which worries me. I also only have a type of chips in the bottom right now that my friend uses for her leopard geckos and im thinking about getting sand. So if anyone can help me out here it would be greatly appreciated.

What do you need help with?

I use sand. Mine are skittish, but now sit in the open. Pretty bold behind the glass.

I wouldn't leave a lot of crickets in with it.

How hot in the hot spot?

sand is a must for frogeyes, don't put in alot of crickets give it about 2-3 every other day depending on the size of the crickets, and I've had mine for over a year now and he's still skidish. it shouldn't worry you if their skidish it's just their nature, some frogeyes are more bold than others depening on the species.
and what else do you need help with?
