High there
Well yesterday my perants told me they were bringing me a baby Albino so I setup a quick enclouser for him/her? with a water dish ,calcium dish, 2 moist hides one on warm end and one on cool end and a few lilttle hides.

Well this one is going to be by it self,i have 2 otthers in a sepperate tank but wanted to do something for this one that i have never seen before,I want to setup an all black tank but have a few questons
1: Will having and all black setup affect the gecko in any way?

2:There are very few accesorys for reptil cages that come in all black,so i am going to have to paint some thing ,Can i just use a "All purpose-Non-Toxic" black paint?

3:Has anyone seen any setup like this before? Do you have any pictures?

How about some ideas for the setup?

oh Another question is ,When i put him/her in the tank i put in a few crickets but it didnt seem to eat any (i was gone for about 40 min) i didnt count how many i put in at first but he didnt show much interest is this normal? hes proball still adjusting right?

also it left a stool in one of his hide and when i inspected it it seemed a little toward the wet side with a greenish coloration to it... Is this normal?

Also how old does a male usally show his first signs of hemipenis bulging? (trying to sex my otther geckos)

Food: He needs to adjust to his new environment. All the transporting is very stressful to a leo. Give him about a day or so to settle down before feeding him. This soon, the crickets'll just add to his stress.

I'm not too sure on the greenish stool or the paint, though.

I wouldnt use paint, just to be on the safe side. But someone else might know more about it...

as far as the fecal, its always a good idea to take a sample to the vet when you first get a new leo, i would take this oppurtunity to do so. Its cheap and the information it gives you is invaluable!
