Re: My Leopard Gecko Pics

Re: My Leopard Gecko Pics

Babies are so cute, but I second Marsha, you really need to put a moist hide in there.

From the Caresheet

On Humidity
Quote:
Leopard geckos come from dry arid regions of the world. Their captive enclosures need to be a replica of this type of environment. An excessive amount of moisture can lead to health and behavioral problems. Their habitat should be maintained below 10% humidity. This can be monitored with the use of humidity gauges. They are often sold at most pet stores.

When a leopard gecko retreats to its hide during the daylight hours, they are often in chambers or holes that have a higher humidity level than the ambient air outside of the hide spot. To simulate this type of environment, you will need to create a moist hide.
On Moist Hides
Quote:
A moist hide is designed to aid with shedding and to double as a laying box for gravid females. To create a moist hide, cut a hole in the side of a margarine tub. The hole should be closest to the top of the container but should have at least 1 inch of plastic remaining on the bottom.

Place some sphagnum moss or a similar medium in the container and wet slightly. The substrate should not be so wet that water is evident. It also must not be dry. The best way to get a good consistency is too hold the medium in your hand and add water. Now squeeze out the excess moisture. This will leave a safe medium for you to use.

Moist hides are often used as an aid for the gecko to help loosen skin that is shedding.

Re: My Leopard Gecko Pics

Hello,

All baby Leopard Geckos are banded. As they mature, the bands break up and their spots are revealed. Thanks for sharing the pics.
