Thanks again Gothra

I spent the evening last night tinkering with the temperature, and I now have a wondeful gradient of 90F-70F along the length of the tank. Gordon and Eddie seem to be much happier and bolder now now as they are quite content to eat Mealworms from my fingers, or if I leave them in a dish overnight.

But I am slightly concerned because neither of them will touch the crickets I try to feed them. The crickets have each have had a leg removed and are left in bowl that they can't escape from but they seem to be untouched in the morning.

My plan is to not feed the geckos tonight (as they had 3 or 4 mealworms last night), and try to tweezer feed some crickets tomorrow night when the geckos are bound to be hungry. How does this sound as a plan?

Cheers again,
Jim
