Hello , My name is Mark and i am From Quebec , Canada. I am french but i can easily Write , Speak and Read English. I am new to geckos.
Got mine August 15
It is a Juvenile Leopard Gecko but i dont know if its a Male of a female... Ill look when it will get more used on being Handeled. I have informed myself for about a week before buying my first Reptile.
Here's a Picture of my Tank ( 20 Gallons High ) and i would like to have advises on what it is missing or what could be wrong. First , I know theres alot of discutions on what substrate is good or bad. I currently have repti-Sand and in my opinion it will be fine. I also have a Undertank Heater rated for 10-20g. I have added a piece of cardboard box between the bottom of my tang and the substrate.For now the only thing i can think of that is missing is a cave on the Cold side. But enought talking heres the Pics.
Yesterday morning i found out that my Gecko was about to molt. I placed a Humid spot for him to shred his skin. I didnt saw him get into it but couple of hours later he was beautiful again. no skin at all on the Toes :yahoo:. Almost Like he Never molted exept for brighter colours :biggrin:
I also have to say that he is fed Grasshoppers for now.
When i decided myself to buy one , I had to order one because the pet shop didnt had any in stock. He was supposed to come Friday but there was a error in the shipping and he wasnt shipped. So the Girl at the Pet shop called and they sended it Express at no charge. When they received it Saturday they took their cars and they came right to my door to give it to me , I was so happy. But they didnt bring crickets... They were all dead. So for now im giving him Wild cought Grasshoppers but i know they come from a pesticide and herbicide free environment. I live in a small village wich is really in the wood. So they are 100% safe. BUt i cant do nothing for diseases. I only give my Gecko really Active grasshoppers so if one of them is Sick, He wont be active and wont be fed to my Gecko.
Im getting Crickets Tomorow, Ill get alot because it is far from my house... 45 Min of car.
So if you have any comments , Advices or anything that can help me keeping him Healthy and Happy, Dont hesitate... Reply :nana:
Oh btw i added a flexibranch. Its like a fake branch that is flexible. and the cavern you see has magnets on it, The cave goes inside the terra and the other part go outside. So i can look at my Gecko without disturbing him. And the cave is hiding a Flat rock i putted there. It is right on top of the UTH so the rock is a little bit heated from the UTH.
