Just last week I was given a normal, female leopard gecko by someone who didn't want her anymore.
How much and how often should she eat? She is a little over a year old and is almost 6 inches long. Right now she is being fed every other day, 4 to 5 worms or roaches, or a half a dozen crickets, and we are dusting twice a week. She is eating waxworms and dubia roaches or crickets. I was told mealworms are bad, is that true?
I looked on all the the websites and sexed her myself (no pores or slight bulge, but she does have a fold) both my husband and myself fell in love with her, she is adorable!!!!
I've been reading gecko caresheets and they all say different things.
I don't believe the people that had her ever feed her anything but crickets, that they didn't dust. They also kept her on sand and didn't give her a humid hide, we fixed all of that.
Is there anything else we should do? Thank you, we want to do this right.
