I'm planning on getting a juvenile (2 months or older)in a few months, and I don't want to run into any health issues. I have a few more questions:

1. I plan on feeding the crested gecko diet, but my local pet store doesn't carry it. Is Pangea Reptile Company a good place to order from, and is the diet offered the correct one?

2. I want to get a juvenile - 2 months old or older. Do I need to supplement the diet with additional calcium and D3 if I'm feeding CGD? How much D3?
- See www.pangeareptile.com for the details on the supplement descriptions

3. Has anyone used chlorhexidine to clean their crested gecko enclosures? If so, have you noticed any adverse effects?

4. I don't plan on breeding the gecko for a while (if at all). What should a healthy juvenile/adult crested's calcium sacs look like?

5. I would like to use small live plants in the enclosure to help maintain the humidity. What plants would you recommend?
- Note: I have a black thumb...

I know it's a lot of questions, but I appreciate everyone's help!
