I wish my tokay would fatten up a little. Yours look so fat and healthy. I think the young ones are normally thinner, but I don't know what they are suppose to look like. And getting a photo, I don't know. She hides all the time. If she (he) is out and I just come in the room, give it a minute and she's gone. Do you think if she had a mate she would do better?
Right now I feed dubia roaches, because that's what I have. I get crickets once in a while. The roaches hide too, but I like to believe that at night both the gecko and the roaches come out, and the geckos eat. If not, there are about a hundred roaches hiding in there still. I pick up some gecko droppings, but don't know what is normal.
When I got this gecko, she didn't eat for a few weeks and got very thin. Supposed to be cb. I experimented with enlosures. She has gained some since then, but not a lot. I actually saw her eat only one day, two small roaches, while she was kept in a small plastic enclosure. Here's the situation: (46cm tall)
Maybe temperature is an issue. Most of the space is upper 70's during the day. Low 80's near the top. I'm going to move the temperature sensor around, near the light and near the heat tape. At night it drops to 70. Tokay doesn't seem to seek out the warm spots like the vittatus.
Maybe I need to get the vittatus (white-lined gecko) out of there. But I see no sign that they mind each other. once in a while they sit side by side, likely by accident. There is plenty of space.
