I have 2 bearded dragons, but I'm thinking about also getting a leopard gecko as well. I'm trying to find out as much as I can before I get one. So I have some questions if someone with experience could help me.
FOOD:
What types of feeders
How many
How many times day/week
Besides food and water dishes, do they need a dish with just calcium in it?
LIGHTING/HEAT
Do they need a UVB like beardies?
What wattage/type of heat bulb would be good for 20gal tank?
Do temps need to be different on hot and cool sides like they do for beardies?
Do geckos require a humid environment?
Can I use a digital thermometer with probe to measure temps like done with beardie vivs?
IS a UTH needed at all times or just during winter/cool times of year?
SUBSTRATE/VIV DECOR
Can I use non adhesive shelf liner for a substrate?
Do I need moist moss just in hide and which side of viv does this moss hide go on?
Do I need a hide on hot and cool sides?
Can they misted in their tanks?
Do they need baths?
What time of night is best to feed them?
What time of night are they most active?
Do they brumate/hibernate at any time during the year?
Sorry if I asked so many questions. I just want to make sure I cover everything. And if there is any advice/tips that anyone would like to add, please feel free to. Thanks in advance for any help.
