The Adirondack Mountains, where the fresh air and spring waters are plentiful. I strive to keep my gecko's healthy and happy. They are handled from a very young age and are very sociable, docile and loving.
I raise my own crickets, roaches, mealworms, waxworms and superworms. Our geckos and the feeder insects that they eat are fed nothing but a clean and balanced diet with pure Adirondack spring water.
" A healthly feeder makes for a healthy gecko."
Each sub-adult has their own 20 gallon long tank which includes hides, branches, trees, and of course, a hammock! After all, what's a condo without a hammock? They move on to bigger and better condos when they turn full-adult, (see My set-ups page.) My hatchlings are housed in 10 quart shoeboxes until the age of 8 weeks, then moved to 15 quart shoeboxes until they become sized for a 20 gallon tank and so on.
Every Sunday night all the girls have a "spa" night. I gather them together for about 1 hour in a empty kiddie pool, add hides, leaves, freshly cut grass, logs and a shallow pool for those who enjoy it. They do enjoy socializing together, and this way they learn to tolerate other geckos, and it gives me time to observe each gecko for any social behavioral problems so I can pass that on to their new owners. Males are let out to enjoy playtime as well but only one at a time to prevent territorial fighting.
Each night while doing my "gecko chores," I pick one or two gecko's to ride on my shoulder. As a matter of fact, Alanis and Angelina are sitting on my shoulder as I type this.
So whether you are a hobbyist, breeder or just looking for that special gecko, you have come to the right place!
