FAQs

How often should I feed my gecko?

Feed juvenile geckos daily. Adults can be fed every other day.

What kind of water should I use?

Use dechlorinated water or bottled spring water.

How do I clean the terrarium?

Remove the gecko, clean the enclosure with warm water and reptile-safe cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry before replacing substrate and accessories.

What temperature should the terrarium be?

Aim for a daytime temperature of 72-78°F (22-26°C) and a nighttime temperature of 65-72°F (18-22°C).

Do I need a heat lamp?

A heat lamp might be necessary, especially if your home is cooler than the recommended temperature range. Monitor the terrarium's temperature with a thermometer.

What size terrarium do I need?

This kit's 12”x12”x18” terrarium is suitable for a juvenile gecko. Adults will need a larger terrarium.

Can I use tap water?

It is best to use dechlorinated water to avoid any harmful chemicals.

How often should I replace the substrate?

Replace the substrate monthly or more frequently if it becomes soiled.

Troubleshooting

Terrarium humidity is too low.

Mist the terrarium with water 1-2 times per day. Ensure proper ventilation and consider using a larger water dish.

Gecko is not eating.

Check the temperature and humidity levels. Offer fresh food and try different feeding times. Consult a veterinarian if the problem persists.

Substrate is moldy.

Ensure proper ventilation and clean the substrate. Replace the substrate more frequently.
