Reptile & Amphibian Forums

this is my first hatchling It is a pictus gecko. The gecko forum is pretty dead so I figured I would post here and hope that someone still cares about helping anymore. It seems these forums are all about morphs, etc. now. Anyways this is the post i have it in a small rubbermaid shoe box with a paper towel and a tiny pill bottle top with water in it. i mist the cage 2 or 3 times a day. is there anything else i need to do??is it likely it might eat a roach if i put it in there before it sheds??

Well it does need heat.....probably around 90 at the warm part. I know they need a lower humidity, so maybe keep sprayings down a little and make a "humidity den" if he decides to use it. The rubbermaid should be rather small. You should feed baby lizards every day because they grow rapidly. It could eat newborn lobster roaches or small crickets. A general rule of thumb is the food should be no bigger than the space between its eyes.....that is to be safe......im sure there are exceptions. Hope this helps,

It's not like people don't want to help, it's just that sometimes we don't know, or we don't spend an hour reading every recent post.
