lets cover the basics

Have you noticed your gecko lifting it's head up tall and stiff?
This is called, ALERTING. Geckos alert when they are scared. The purpose is to alert other geckos of a threat. Geckos will most likely alert when you are around. Don't feel bad cause you think your gecko doesn't like you, it's just their instincts.

Handling and caring for babies

Babies need to be fed EVERYDAY it is very important that you feed them every day or else they will starve. Your baby gecko will be a handfull because they are so tiny and easy to lose. Once your gecko gets bigger it will stay stripped until a certain age, then it's strippes gradually turn into dots. When your gecko has dots instead of strippes it means it has finnaly reached adult hood.

Breeding part 3


Once your gecko has hatched give it a name. Now remember babys need to be fed EVERYDAY.

Breeding Part 2

Now if your gecko is pregnant she should lay her eggs in a couple of weeks to months, but be prepared, have an incubater ready when you notice your gecko is pregnant she can lay them at any time. You can tell if an egg is good if it feels like a stale marshmellow, you can tell if its bad if it is'nt really puffed.
Don't get discouraged if your first few eggs die. You can tell if an egg is dead if it starts to turn yellow or golden brown. Set the incubater for 80 to 84 degres for a male and 85 to 89 for a female. Females are easier to breed. I would breed more females because you only realy need one male.

Breeding

Alright, I will make a few posts on this subject. First, you need a male and a female gecko. Then you need to put them in the same cage, but watch them. If the male bites the female don't be scared, this is natural. If the female fites back then seperate them. You can tell if the male is attempting to mate when he wiggles his tale around very fast. Watch them the entire time. Once they are done mating just seperate them and within a few days or weeks your female will be pregnant. You can tell if there are two red lumps or marks on your females belly. Feel free to leave comments.

Sicknesses

I unfortanutly do not no to much about sicknesses. I can recognize if a gecko is not bieng fed enough and is not in good shape from not bieng fed enough. I am sorry if your gecko is sick if you are not sure you can leave a comment. If you have noticed your gecko behaving oddly please tell me and I'll help you as much as I can, just leave a comment and I will get back to you through the comment box as soon as I can.


Thank you

First off

Do not buy a gecko if you plan to harrase it. If you buy a gecko then you will want to buy them food. They eat crickets, wax worms, meal worms, pinky mice, and depending on their size, pioson removed scorpions.
Once you buy food just let the crickets or whatever you bought into your geckos cage. Your gecko should begin to eat. If they do not finish the crickets then put them in a cricket hotel. You can buy one at your local pet store. I will add posts and check my comments frequently. But like I said, this is my first blog so please have patience.

Thank you
