Hi. I am a new owner of a leopard gecko. She is an adult. About 8 inches long. She has a 50 gallon tank. Heat/night lights, water supply etc. all came with her. I have had her for one week and have some questions.


I did buy her a hollowed out rock so she has somewhere to go and hide, which she loves.

When do I feed her? Morning or night? She seems to be most active once I turn off her day light. I have been feeding her then.

Are meal worms the same as wax worms? How many should she be allowed to eat?

How many crickets should I expect her to eat a day? How many do I offer her?

Thanks for the education.

Google is your friend!

Thanks. Those links were very helpful actually. I didn't have the same luck when I did a google search.

No problem; I just cut and pasted the subject matter into the search box and turned it loose.
