I have a male and female. I am using the coco husk (the bricks you put in water). Irescued them from someone who was neglecting them and didn't have a clue.
I have noticed my female has lost a lot of weight since laying eggs and haven't seen her eating for a while.
I have just rearranged their set up so I am hoping it is just a bit of stress. She has been a bit more active the last couple of days.
Do you keep this breed of Gecko?

It looks great--my sole suggestion is to make sure you have some sort of basking area that's only a couple of inches directly below the UVB light. I can't tell in the photo how far below it the branches are. It's important they have an area where they can get close to the light, for maximum UVB. Penetration from those lights is less than 6 inches, and reduces the further away from them you get.

Thanks for the comments. I read somewhere that they would only benefit from the UV if they were at least 10cm away from it. I will get it sorted. Thanks
