Nickie, they're pretty aren't they? Yep we try meal worms, crickets, and lately wax worms too. She's just not in the mood. Her eyesight is really poor I think, which doesn't help.
What a lovely critter. When I lived in Sri Lanka, I had geckos in my room every day. I love how they chirp! The species you have looks similar to one that lived on the more eastern part of the island. So cute.
I don't think Geckie and Jasmine have ever met! Probably a good thing.
I'm feeling like she should be chirping now too... but she's always been silent. Not a peep out of her.
She's pretty much blind all the time. I have a feeling that's why she was for sale to begin with. (We bought her at a small herp show.) You really have to take extra time when feeding her, since she can't see well at all. She can't catch crickets at all -- can't see them! So you have to just hold them up to her nose. The mealworms are a bit easier.
Little hideways are great idea. I've heard that best way to catch a snake is to put a piece of pipe ending with a bag - they always get themselves trapped that way :)
they have human size of those hideaways?
ReplyDeleteYour gecker looks just like mine LOL Try meal worms, they love meal worms!
ReplyDeleteJill, ha, maybe we should build one. :)

ReplyDeleteI think it would be a Great invention!!!!
What a beautiful gecko. I didn't realize you had one for a pet. Does Jasmine like her?
ReplyDeleteShe is very pretty :)

ReplyDeleteAmazing how "blind" they get right before they shed...I bet that's when some get caught in the wild.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a spotted gecko! Very interesting!
