Well i got them a few days ago, they started eating, but one problem is when i put the roaches in they're tank they just hide under the paper towels, so i have to take all the paper towels out so they can eat, anyone got tips. I'm moving them from my 5.5g to my 10g today, its bigger and warmer.So far the male ate 3, the female at 2 and the last female at 0, they learn fast. I want hem to eat but i have to have paper towels because the UTH is right under the floor and the paper will prevent from it getting to hot.

Any tips would be nice, was thinking off putting them in a container were to roaches cant get out(they cant climb smooth surfaces) and the geckos can get in but i haven't found anything, should i take them out and put them in my 5.5 during feeding everyday, i think its to stress full.

Thanks, Me just expressing my problem and thinking out loud lol. Any Tips?
Forgot to mention, my new lizard that I'm trying to get are Italian wall lizards anyone have any tips or where exactly were i can find them post or private Message me.I have heard Nassau County?

Well they are eating a lot and they seem to be doing fine, although they are always on the warm side making me think they maybe they need it hotter, its about 80-82 on the warm side, i read that most recommend this but a few recommend 95-100 so I'm not sure might try and make it hotter so see maybe if they will move to the cooler side to see what they like to most.

You might consider adding a small localized hot spot in that temperature range, and slightly shift the 80-82°F spot toward the center of the enclosure to check if they are in fact wanting a warmer area.

Well i added another UTH to the right next to the original one so that the whole tank is warmer, and the middle is now 80-82, not sure what the hot side it but it fells nice, gonna have to measure it one of these days.

I will see tonight if they still wanna stay on the warm side, to be honest i will be surprised if they do!

One of my females and my male are eating really really nice(Huge appetites, I mean HUGE!), and the female that is eating it kinda big, maybe egg bound big? But one female is kinda on the skinny side, she is also a little slower i thing it because shes a little hungry, i saw her hunting when a roach came in front of her but she just misses all the time, and they are baby dubias they aren't fast, cant wait till i switch to Turkish roaches(way faster than Dubia!)!Maybe shes slow because she is weak, i don't want to force feed, they don't take from the tweezers, i don't want to put them in a feeding tank because i don't want to stress them, I am kinda worried about that 1 female.
Opinions?Because i honest don't have experience with animals wanting to eat but not eating.She is hungry and tries but never catches any when I'm looking and she is kinda skinny, probably meaning she doesn't catch when i'm not looking too!

Thanks Chris, should i put her in a tank for feeding, i mean there are PLENTY of roaches in her tank now!I honestly Don't Know

A little Update!

I found a blood trail leading into one of the hides, but all the geckos seem fine, i haven't checked them but they seem to be active and moving.Maybe its not blood, but i swear it looks exactly like it!

Any Ideas?
