FAQs

How often should I clean the terrarium?

Spot clean the terrarium daily and perform a full cleaning and substrate change monthly.

What type of lighting does my gecko need?

This kit includes a heat bulb. UVB lighting is beneficial for Leopard Geckos, but it is not included in this kit and must be purchased separately.

How do I control the humidity levels?

Ensure good ventilation. Avoid over-misting. Use a hygrometer to monitor humidity levels.

What should I feed my Leopard Gecko?

Offer a variety of insects, such as crickets and mealworms, dusted with calcium and vitamin supplements.

What is the best temperature for my gecko?

The basking spot should be around 88-92°F (31-33°C). The cool side should be around 70-75°F (21-24°C).

How often should I feed my Leopard Gecko?

Feed juveniles daily. Adults can be fed every other day.

What size terrarium do I need for a full-grown gecko?

A 20-gallon long terrarium or larger is recommended for an adult Leopard Gecko.

What kind of water should I use?

Use dechlorinated water. The included ReptiSafe Water Conditioner is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Terrarium is too cold.

Check the heat bulb's wattage. Ensure the lamp is functioning correctly. Consider a higher wattage bulb or supplemental heating, if necessary.

High humidity levels.

Ensure proper ventilation by adjusting the screen top. Reduce the frequency of misting.

Gecko is not eating.

Check the temperature. Offer different insects. Ensure the gecko is not stressed or ill.

Substrate ingestion.

Feed the gecko in a feeding dish to minimize substrate ingestion. Consider switching to paper towels or reptile carpet if impaction is a concern.
