Don't put it beside a window that gets a lot of sunlight! The inside of the tank can heat up to very high temperatures (think like the inside of a car).Originally Posted by samzz
As i am putting the tank beside the window.. the left side of the tank will be warm during the morning and the cricket he ate its around the same size of the space in between his eyesI also added a tray of meal worms in his enclosure but he seems to be more interested in crickets.. i broke the hind legs of the cricket to slower them down too.. my little gecko is now sleeping.. not thirsty nor hungry.. lets hope he would feed again tmr..
What are you using as a heating device? I would recommend getting an Under Tank Heater (UTH) if you can - if not, a heat lamp will do. Just put it on one side of the tank and leave the cool side at room temperature.
He does look thin and dehydrated but it's good that he's eating and drinking. Make sure you are gut-loading and dusting your insects so he's getting all the vitamins/minerals he needs. Calcium is crucial! A moist hide might also help with getting him hydrated.
Good luck
