Kunu's Friend

Hello all! I found this community and joined so I can learn more about taking good care of my gold dust day gecko, Kunu. I unexpectedly acquired him after returning home (in Oregon) from a vacation in Hawaii on the Big Island. Three days after getting home and unpacking, the craziest thing happened- I found a tiny little green gecko on my light switch! He must have hitched a ride in our luggage! That was in May 2018. He was only about maybe 2 inches long then and now he's about 5 inches long. I took the advise of a local reptile store and started feeding him the Pangea gecko diet and small crickets, and gave him their recommended set up with proper lights, etc. I planted it with live plants for him and he seems really healthy and active. He's so alert and fun to watch!
