Leopard Gecko Care: While Out of Town

[panthergecko]

Well I am going out of town tomorrow for a month, so I have asked my mom to watch & feed him and she agreed, so I see this as my gecko gets fed monday wednesday friday & sunday, since she's 1 year and 8 months old. I am feeding her monday morning superworms & calcium with D3.
All my mom is going to do is feed her superworms & change out her water dish water, and of course the feeders.
Any tips to pass on to make this go as smooth as possible?

Also could a small cap of Calcium with D3 be put in for 2 days a week then taken out for the rest of the week. For a month

It would be best not to leave the calcium with d3 in the enclosure. Write down specific instructions for your Mom to follow while you are gone.

I meant to ask this a while ago but forgot, does the setup look good and am i missing anything ?

How long is your tank? Is this leo gravid/pregnant?

IF you have followed the care guidelines here: http://www.geckosunlimited.com/comm...care-recommendations-29-july-2012-update.html
then all should be well.

I hope that you are providing the suggested temperatures in this tank from warm to cool.

I would say NEVER leave a dish of calcium with D3 in the enclosure! Just pure calcium goes in the enclosure 24/7.

The tank is 30 iches i.e 20 gallon
Not gravid.
I ve read the updated gecko care sheet

Then you, and hopefully your mom, will be set. Have a good month away .

I am not sure if the problem is temp related or your overfeeding, but her tummy should not appear so distended. Does she spend a good amount of time in the warm hide?

what a cute happy face! U should be all set. Good luck!

 

[panthergecko]

Thanks shes a cutie, and cricket as I am out now so maybe I can look into when I get back. Is there anything you suggest i can do . Maybe shes ovulating?

 

[cricket4u]

Her tummy just looks so round. Maybe you fed her a big meal?:biggrin: Just take a look at her belly when you get home. Which side is the warm side? Right or left?

Nice to have future geckos in mind :banana:. Good to live so close to the White Plains shows.
