my male blizzard leopard gecko was born on 4/20/02. i was feeding him every day up until about 2 weeks ago,now i feed him every other day(6 crickets).is that ok,or should i feed him every day for the rest of his life?i was reading and they said when the gecko is around a year old to feed him 2-3 times a week,but my gecko would eat everyday if he could.so basically,is it ok to feed him every other day until he is an adult,then feed him 2 times a week?thanks

I would feed everyday until he is an adult. Or you can bowl train him and just leave food in the bowl so he can eat when he's hungry. I know when mine were babies, I fed twice a day with calcium or vitamins dusted on depending on the week..

Hi, would you mind selling that gecko? My b-day is also 4-20 and that would be awsome having a gecko have the same b-day as mine if not if anyone else has a gecko that was born on 4-20 please reply.

sorry,this guy isnt for sale, but if you go to www.goldengategeckos.com im sure you could find a gecko that has the same birthday as you do.as far as the crickets go, i guess i will keep feeding him until hes about a year old,then feed him every 2-3 days.thanks

So you mean he was born in '03 then, not '02? Just clearning things up as I'm a tad confused
