Re: First Leopard Gecko
I have several hides for her and a moist hide. Discovered my thermostat on the UTH is either way off or dead - in either case I have a new one ordered to come in this week. Thermal gun was reading 105 even though it's set at 90. Until the new thermostat comes in, I have her hides arranged around the outside of where the UTH is and where I measured temps in the 88-90 range.
I was concerned about her eating - she didn't eat at all the first night in her new home but last night she ate 3 (gut loaded) mealworms. Guess she was just a bit stressed (understandable after the 2 hour car ride home from the show - I was stressed too)!
Quick question for anyone who checks this - how long can you leave mealworms in the dish? I left 6 in her bowl yesterday and she ate 3 during the night. Should I put those 3 back in the gutload mix and put some new ones out? Or just leave those in there until she eats them too or they die / start getting thin?
