drinking?

K1LOS Jun 10, 2003 12:27 PM

I have never seen my gecko's drinking from their water dish. I have had them for probably 2.5 wks, shouldn't i have seen them drinking by now? It is possible they are just drinking when i'm not around, but i never know! Should i be concerned?

...they're drinking, you're just not seeing it. i rarely see my geckos drink, but i know that they do because they are all alive and well. considering that these animals live in very dry, arid climates in the wild, they are able to survive with very small amounts of water.
