Description
Cross Morph From Green & Tangerine Het Temper Albino Poss Eclipse Leopard Gecko
Housing:
- Provide a secure enclosure with a secure lid to prevent escapes. A 10-20-gallon tank is suitable for one adult leopard gecko.
- Use a substrate such as paper towels, reptile carpet, or non-adhesive shelf liner to line the bottom of the tank.
- Include hides (at least two), one on the warm side and one on the cool side, to provide security for your gecko.
- A shallow dish for water should also be provided. Ensure it is shallow enough for easy access and cleaned regularly.
Temperature and Lighting:
- Maintain a temperature gradient in the enclosure, with a warm side around 88-92°F (31-33°C) and a cool side around 75-80°F (24-27°C) during the day.
- Use an under-tank heating pad or ceramic heat emitter to achieve the desired temperature. Avoid using heat rocks, as they can cause burns.
- Provide a 12-hour light/dark cycle. Leopard geckos do not require UVB lighting, but they do benefit from exposure to natural sunlight or a low-level UVB light.
Humidity:
- Leopard geckos require a relatively dry environment. Humidity levels should be kept low, ideally between 30-40%. This can be achieved by providing a shallow water dish and proper ventilation in the enclosure.
Feeding:
- Feed juvenile leopard geckos daily and adult leopard geckos every other day.
- Offer a variety of live insects such as crickets, mealworms, dubia roaches, and waxworms. Insects should be appropriately sized, no larger than the space between the gecko's eyes.
- Gut-load insects with nutritious foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and commercial gut-load diets before offering them to your gecko.
- Dust insects with a calcium supplement (with D3) two to three times a week and a multivitamin supplement once a week for juveniles and less frequently for adults.
Handling:
- Allow your gecko time to acclimate to its new environment before handling.
- When handling your gecko, be gentle and avoid grabbing or squeezing. Support its body properly and avoid sudden movements.
- Wash your hands before and after handling your gecko to prevent the spread of bacteria.
Health:
- Monitor your gecko's health regularly. Signs of illness include lethargy, loss of appetite, weight loss, abnormal feces, and visible injuries.
Maintenance:
- Clean and disinfect the enclosure regularly to prevent the buildup of bacteria and parasites.
- Remove any uneaten food and feces promptly to maintain a clean environment.
- Replace substrate regularly and clean water dish daily.
