2 Leopard Geckos with Setup

Events

Philadelphia PA

Description

The yellow with black spots is male, and the albino is a female. They have been cohabited for a year and both are about 2.5 years old. I tong feed them or simply put their food in a dish. Both of them eat mealworms, but the female seems to dislike dubia roaches. They only eat live bugs and I usually dust the bugs with Reptivite or Calcium for added nutrients. They can be handled pretty well but the male is more skittish. Both have been healthy with no issues and shed very well and eat regularly. Everything you need for great husbandry is accounted for, you just have to do proper research on their care. Kindly buy new mealworms prior to getting the geckos since supply is running low in the colonies. I attached pictures of what comes with them but below is a rough list Current setup: 40 Gallon Breeder (36"x18"x16") 7 hides 2 water dishes 1 food dish 2 fake plants Some slate and wood Ceramic Heat Emitter with Thermostat For food: Mealworms and Darkling Beetle setup (Colony is still recovering) Dubia Roaches in a Cricket Keeper (Colony couldn't keep up, missing males) Reptivite and Calcium 2 Tongs (For picking up food and poop) Additionals: Sterilite bin and smaller bin (Backup storage for geckos and other supplies) Fake Plant Bigger Ceramic Heat emitter with temperature control Overhead Lights Big water dish with rocks Points for improvement: 1. Separate geckos since cohabitation is not recommended. So far, they have been docile with each other, but this might be an accident waiting to happen. I tried adding a divider in the middle, but they just find a way to cross over to the other side. 2. Deep clean the tank and replace substrate. 3. Try out Bioactive setup by replacing with appropriate substrate, adding live plants, and adding isopods and springtails 4. Beetles and Dubias might need additional members to continue to thrive. If the colonies are well maintained, it will cost less to feed the geckos live bugs. Pickup near Drexel Park, you probably need a car for this. $200 Rehoming Fee
