So I just fed her her first meal and she ate 11 meal worms. That's insane given she's not that big but she must of been hungry. I plan on switching her to roaches though in a few days

Very pretty. Since it is called a velvet gecko, maybe you could use a care sheet for a different species. There are care lists for Oedura species in the care sheet section (I am getting a pair of ocellated velvet gecko (Oedura monilis) tomorrow. Stupid UPS didn't get them here overnight, so now they have to spend another night in a terminal...)

from what I've been told there care is similar to halmahera and day geckos put into one. She likes repashy I just fed her some off my finger plus I can tell she's a fruit eater with her paddled tongue. Also she apparently loves insects. But care wise I've heard they actually are seen more during the day than at night so im going to work out the kinks till I get it just right for her. Lots of vines and hiding places for her with a clean paper towel substrate and a full belly is working good for now.

Okay, in that case, disregard my post, lol. She is beautiful, though. Good luck with her!

Aerio ~

What size (length and weight) is she? Captive bred? How old?

She's about 8 inches or so and if I were to guess about 25 grams or so in weight age I have no idea and she was captive hatched from what I understand. I just got her in yesterday why do you ask?
