How do I give my leopard gecko the best care?
I have an adult leopard gecko and I am getting a 20 gallon terrarium for her. The things she will have will be: Humid hide, 2 dry hides, cage carpet, water dish, calcium dish, thermometer, under tank heater, and a heat lamp. I don't use a food dish because 1. She will not eat any type of worm 2. I sit and watch her eat till she is no longer hungry then remove un-eaten food items. I don't use 2 thermometers because one on the hot side should be sufficient because there is now way of changing the temperature on the cold side and the correct temperature on the hot side is a must. No hygrometer because there would be no need to raise the humidity and there is little i can do to lower it. Is there anything els I should know?
If leopard geckos do not drink from a dish than why does every website say use a water dish? I have kept my gecko this way for four years without any problems. Im pretty sure that the geckos smart enough to drink out of a dish.
Leopard geckos DO drink from a water dish. All 3 of by geckos drink water from their dishes. Misting the tank will raise the humidity too much which will cause health problems. They are from the desert and do not need humidity (besides the hide).
You care sounds good to me. The only think I would change in the reptile carpet. It often catches and rips out the geckos claws. Because they live on rocks and such I recommend slate or any other tiles.
