Yes, feed and lightly supplement your gecko just like you describe. Spray his enclosure once per day.
That's exactly why I recommend D3 calcium instead of direct sun! Powdered vitamin D3 takes the place of the D3 we get from the sun.Are you checking in by cell phone or by a computer?
-----> Could you open the link I sent? It tells how to keep crickets.
i named her Mocha. i think its a her because she doesnt have a v shape on her legs? can i use an air plant instead of a silk plant? my mom has lots of air plants
Mocha is a pretty name! Some geckos are harder to sex than others. Air plants will work.
should i only feed mocha 3 times a week then? just those 3 days with the powders and then no more crickets?
Start out feeding Mocha 3x per week: Mon (D3 powder) - Wed (plain calcium - NO D3) - Fri (no powder). Try feeding her on Sat (no powder). At some point she'll be full. Experiment with the number of days, but NOT the powders.
can crickets eat lettuce? or carrots? or kale? if those crickets that i keep in a bin get too big would they make babies to feed mocha?
Crickets are hard to raise. You need pretty high temps on a consistent basis. Google: Breeding Crickets.
Iceberg lettuce has no food value. Carrots and kale are good. Crickets need more than carrots and kale to be healthy for Mocha!
Buy already ground Pro Gutload diet (by Professional Reptiles) for the crickets' 24/7 dry diet. Keep it in an airtight container. Then choose some food from this list to supplement the dry diet.

i spray water once a day and shes pooped 5 times. how often is she supposed to poop?
She'll poop when she feels the urge :coverlaugh:, unless she gets impacted.
my dad says i should put sand on the bottom of her cage instead of it being bare bottom should i do that? she doesnt seem to like the bottom. she hangs out on top around the lid. i gave her a stick to crawl on.
Add more thick sticks. Try putting sticks on the bottom. Try paper towels as a substrate until we figure out a better one.
Whatever you do, don't buy calci-sand! Calci-sand encourages geckos to eat the substrate and could cause impaction.
She could be hanging out around the lid because it's warmer there.
does mocha need a water bowl? does she shed like other lizards? do i need to put her outside for sunlight? my dad did that with my anoles but he ended up killing them because they cooked alive.
Don't put Mocha outside for sunlight!!! She could easily cook too!!!
Try a small bowl with a little water -- not enough to drown in. Continue misting her enclosure 1x per day. She'll shed like other geckos.
No sand or sunlight -- that's correct. A medium or large shallow bottle cap will make a good water dish.
You don't want to go there.
