Thanks for replying! As you said, the oil seems have worn off by now. He's back to climbing around the walls, more actively than ever. We were also concerned because he had stopped eating for a couple of days, but maybe that was just due to the fact that he was so distraught at not being able to climb. Now he's back at it, terrorizing crickets like a good gecko. By the way, we have a 10-gallon glass tank with coconut fiber substrate. This is my first gecko - do you have any tips specifically on what to feed him other than crickets? I tried smearing a tiny bit of honey on the side of his wall and he seemed to like that. Should I definitely AVOID giving him anything that some people think is a good idea? I've read that baby food and mangoes can be a good treat...
