Sitting in water dish

[Kroda13]

I've noticed the past few days our Gecko Tree has been sitting in his/her water dish just hanging out. Should I be worried? Its jumps on its food when it is feeding time and is acting normal.

Maybe he just likes to soak and bathe! If he is acting normal and eating fine I wouldn't worry!

My Leo Maiyer did the same thing around the time when I first got him, yet acted normal. There's many pictures and articles on google of leopard geckos doing this. It's usually a way of them cooling down and getting moist.
Or you may just have a leopard gecko who likes his water dish

Just out of curiosity what's the humidity at? Does he have a warm moist hide?

 

[Kroda13]

yup he has a warm moist hide humidity is about 40%

Is the UTH controlled by a thermostat? If not, it can toast your leos underside.

Hello,

What are the temperatures at under the warm dry hide?

How are you measuring temperatures? What sort of Thermometer? (Analogue)?

 

[Kroda13]

I am using a digital Thermometer and a thermostat both the humid hide and the warm hide (he only goes into it to poop >.>) are sitting on the UTH and the temps are at 95

 

[kvnsu]

I would suggest lowering the temps to 88-93.

This could be the reason your Leo is going into the water dish. Your temperatures are too warm. Recommend setting your Thermostat to 90.

I'll double check it when I get home and adjust it accordingly
