Not so sticky feet..

AndrewFromSoCal May 12, 2007 02:20 AM

My little (2" StV) gecko is having a hard time staying stuck to the glass. I'm hoping this is because of the hard water spots (i'm switching to distilled in his 10g) but I wasn't sure. Any ideas?

just use drinking water and try not to handle it unless you have to.

loss of sticky feet typically means it is about to shed. Give him a few days and he will back sticking as usual. If not check around the toes to make sure there are no unshed skin stuck on his toes.

I've also read that its because the humidity isn't high enough
