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, dicile and loving.
I raise my own crickets, roaches, meal, wax and superworms. They are fed a clean balanced diet and are also offered Adironack spring waters.
" A healthly feeder makes for a healthy gecko."
Each sub-adult has their own 20 gallon long tank which includes, hides, branches, trees, and whats a condo without a hammock. They move on to bigger and better "condo's" when they turn full-adult, (see My set-ups, their condos page). My hatchlings are housed in 6 quart shoeboxes until the age of weeks, then moved to 15 quart until they become sized for a 20 gal 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, fresh 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 gecko's, and it gives me time to watch 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 done alone.
I personally pick one or two gecko's per night to ride on my shoulder while doing gecko chores. As a matter of fact, Alanis and Angelina are sitting on my shoulder as I type this.
So whether you are a hobbiest, breeder or just looking for that special gecko, you have come to the right place
