Hi there, first post here as I heard this is an excellent forum for leopard geckos. Recently my nephew's were purchased a leopard gecko from PetSmart, within a few weeks it was obvious that they are far too young for the proper care, so I am going to care for him the next couple years. I really have no clue how old he is though, I'm guessing maybe three months? He came in a tank with reptile carpet, one hide and one water bowl, with one red infrared light for heat. After my research, I have redesigned his tank now with the attached picture. Under tank heater is at 90 on the left side of the tank, consistent 72-75 on the cool side. Moist hide in the center. It is a 10 gallon tank, I'm just wondering at what age I should bump it up to 20-30 gallon, And if you think the hides in his tank are adequate, or any suggestions. Thank you so much, look forward to acquiring even more information from this site.
Forgot to mention he eats 15-18 small crickets a day for 5 days, then 10-12 small meal worms a day for 5 days. And a wax worm once a week. Still working on getting dubia roaches. Also everything is dusted in repashy calicium plus. And the bugs are gut loaded with repashy bug burger. Thanks in advance fellow reptile fiends!
