I am saving a helpless mature male gecko that my friends little brother owns. The poor thing has no source of heat, the tank is dirty all the time and has no fresh water. I have decided to take the poor thing as one of my own, but I'll need all you leopard gecko owners out there to help me out a little. I know that they'll need calcium and that they need a heat radiant of 70-80 with two hides on each side. I own a 10 gallon already from where my baby ball python (certaintly not baby anymore ) used to inhabit with two UTH's, I also have a heat lamp. Where I'm not certain is that I don't know what substrate to use? (I'm thinking a more desert-y feel since they are from Afghanistan and whatnot.) Looking at the Leo FAQ's help a lot too, but they only mention what juvenile geckos eat. What should I feed an adult? If there Is anything that I haven't covered, please tell me. I want to make sure he is happy.
Thank you so much!
