no... you can get calcium at the pet store and cover the gecko's food with it or get Vitamin sand for its cage floor so it gets calcium when it eats its shed
Vita-Sand, Calcium Sand is a product that any reputable breeder will tell you is bad. Leopard geckos will take in a small amount each feeding, untill the bowls get clogged up, This is called Impaction. Please look over your sources before telling other to purchase a bad product.
I would like to inform you that Tile's or paper towel work best for leopard geckos.
A thermostat to regulate or monitor heat is not required to keep a leopard gecko. This species will require an ambient heat of 88-94. This can be acquired on the warm side by using a heat mat. Most people refer to this as a UTH (under tank heater). Using a UTH allows the leopard gecko to rest it's belly against the warm substrates, which is key in keeping a leopard gecko. Most keepers will use a thermometer to monitor the heat within a terrarium.
For Leopard Geckos, you can use reptile carpet, tiles, and flat stones. Do not use sand for Leopard Geckos as they often accidentally ingest it and can get impacted.
recovering a lost gecko is very hard. I'm sorry to say it but if the you haven't found the gecko in 3 days it's probably dead. to prevent this use a lizard leash.
YES! Leopard geckos do not naturally live on sand and when they eat their food they lunge at it, eating some sand accidentally. This causes problems in the stomach which can lead to your leopard gecko dying.
The leopard gecko kit being sold at most pet stores usually consist of: A 10 Gallon tank Sand for substrate 2-3 Deco's 1 Hide 1waterbowl 1 food dish You can use it for a panther gecko because panther geckos are very adaptable and can be kept in a desert or a tropical set-up, but I reccomend a mix. What I would do is buy the kit and buy some eco earth to mix in with the sand and there you go panther gecko set up!
What is left behind in a leopard geckos droppings is the hard exterior of the insect that the animal is not able to use for nutritional pruposes. Therefore it is left behind, the exo skeleton is also hard to digest.
you sohuld make your questions more clear when you type them but if i have read it correctly never try to use any kind of ointment on a Leo until you have consulted a vet and goten proper gecko or lizard medicicng of the type
Calcium makes bones and teeth strong as it is like the enamel coating your teeth and bones.
A female leopard gecko, so long as its being kept properly can start to reach maturity around 12-18 months of age and can breed successfully without strain on the body until 6-9 years of age. After that age, it takes a toll on the females body as they are having to use a lot of calcium reserves for the eggs.
We use to have a Leopard Gecko and he was very nice. I would not recommend having them as pets unless you truly know what you are doing!!
yes but you need some vitamin D in order to use that calcium so go out side and get some sun and drink some milk and that calcium will be used sorry if its off topic
I think it helps your bones to be strong and healthy, as well as your teeth. Milk is a good source of calcium.
