anybody with leopard geckos?

[howlingwoodsfarm]

We have two leopard geckos. they are roughly 4 years old. We found they only occasionally like crickets, we would buy 12 and let them loose, sometimes they will eat 4 right in a row and other times the crickets are in there for days and just die. We have meal worms dusted in the mineral/vitamin dust in there all the time and that is what they eat. Only rarely will we see them out eating, mostly late evening. We had ours on the bark style substrate for the first 3 years and just switched to sand and it works great. I use a sand scoop to scoop out the droppings, I only do it like once a month but I could not do that with the bark. My girl even lays eggs, we tried incubating them but could not. They are so funny. Do all you guys' wingle the tip of their tail just prior to pouncing at "prey"? I always thought this was soooo funny.

enjoy

Yeah its like they think they are rattle snakes, lol. I love it when she does that, I'm hoping to get her a male. She won't be happy with me about getting herf a boyfriend but hey, may get lucky with some babies.

I bought the leopard gecko manual from philip vosjoli. Its a great book. I think he likes the flies because they seem to be disapeering. Today I am going out so I may pick up some mealies with the crickets

you can pull the legs of the crickets, put them in a mealworm dish. then the crickets will move, and you can tell if they have been eaten
