Hi Drey,



I'm new to raising geckos too (though I've had a lot of experience with herps). I've actually only had my baby leo for about a week now. He's definitely shy and my presence makes him nervous. But, he's slowly starting to come around.



Anyway, in terms of food, I find that crickets are the easiest and babies love to chase and catch their food. He lets me watch him too as I feed him and he's slowly getting used to me because of this. From everything I've read, crickets are the healthiest (just be sure to gutload them and dust them with calcium first). Mealworms aren't that nutricious and shouldn't be fed to geckos as often.



Good luck and I'm sorry to hear about your snake.



Beth
