Hello!
I’ve been looking into keeping mourning geckos and I have a couple questions.
1) Would a mourning gecko be happy by itself? I’m not interested in breeding them (although they do reproduce on their own), but I’ve heard that they’ll only lay eggs with other geckos present, is that true?
2) would 1-2 mourning geckos be happy in a 5 gallon tank or is 10 gallons the minimum for a group?
3) What supplements are needed for their live food? I would provide CGD at all times and supplement flightless fruit flies and small crickets maybe twice a week, do they need calcium with D3? Without? Multivitamins?
5) Is it common for them to escape? I don’t want to be afraid every time I open the cage that my gecko(s) will run out, is there anything I can do to prevent that?
Thanks for reading! Any input is appreciated
