Hi,
I just got my first two leopard geckos a couple of days ago, and I'm sure these are really stupid questions but:-

I have a 3 foot tank set up so it is about 85F at the hot end during the day, but when the light goes off at night, the temperature at this end drops to about 72F. Is this OK?

Also, when is a good time of day to feed them? I put about ten crickets in the tank at about 9 in the morning, and they were all there by ten at night. I'm worried that by the time the leos catch the food all the calcium dust will be gone and the gut loading will have worn off!

Cheers,
Jim
