Thanks so much for the reply. First, I will put down paper towels. Should I get rid of the bark and calci sand all together? I believe the temp. at night to be in the low 70’s. I do not know how old the gecko is. I can post a picture if necessary. I am using the thermometer and humidity gauges that stick to the glass (recommend by the reptile guru at PetCo). What type should I be using and where should I place it. I believe that it has not shed due to the fact that I am constantly watching it and it has not had any shedding on any part of its body, none, not even a trace amount in the cage. It was almost done shedding when we brought it home so I feel like I know what to look for. It had a small amount left on its nose and mouth and toes that just came off in a couple of days. I purchased it from a local pet store called The Aquarium in Fort Worth. There were about 6 geckos in one enclosure but after reading a book and getting advice before the purchase from a local reptile rescue, I felt like I asked the right questions and looked for the major warning signs listed by both resources. I spent much time talking with the “reptile guy”. I am feeding it the same type crickets that the store was feeding it. I am feeding the crickets with oatmeal, carrots and potatoes. As far as bugs go, unless I could visually see them - I wouldn’t have a clue. Yes, I am leaving the under tank heat pad on at night. When we wake up in the morning he is laying on it. What next?
