Hopefully I'm not harming my gecko

Sarah_2020 Jun 25, 2006 02:13 PM

I've had my leopard gecko for almost 3 years now. Never have I had any sort of humidy champer. She eats fine (crickets, small meal worms and wax worms), basks correctly, and is friendly and lively. Is the presence of a humidity chamber completly necessary? Thank you! (pics of terrarium and gecko)

Unless she has problems shedding, I don't think it's a big issue. Mine has a water bowl always available, and that seems to do the trick for her. Of course, she walks through it and splashes it everywhere, so perhaps she's creating her own some of the time .

I would say that it couldn't hurt to add one, but as long as your gecko seems healthy, you're probably ok. The thing I'd be concerned about is how easy or difficult it is for her to shed - do you have to help her with it at all, or does she manage fine on her own?

Thanks for the imput. And nope, she's always been a good shedder. No problems there.

How are the toes on her?
