well...i only have him on paper towls right now. should i put him on no substrate or get some sand? he is also in a 40 gallon tank. should i get him or her a mate? the lady at the pet store picked him up no problem...
Just leave it alone like mentioned of at least a week. It's in a new place and scared so it's going to be nippy. No, you don't need to get it a mate. They can live perfectly fine alone. Keeping it on paper towels is fine for now.
lol the debate about sand is crazy..but i personally say no just use some paper towel..but let the little leo get used to the tank first but honestly if a single leo is in a 40 gallon thats like a mansion for a human..get him some buddies like 1 or 2 possibly 3..and um the main question of holding the leo is well like i said let the leo get used to the tank then eventually hold him/her for 15 minutes then put the leo back in the tank and watch your hands maybe?? welcome..but pm me if you want more info..
ok. well. i cant tell if its a male or female yet... so i dont know what kind of mate to get it. but i will get 1 more because i think 3 would be to much work.
ok well i cant tell the sex of this gecko because i dont wanna handle it so should i just get another female? or does it matter what sex i get?
Yes, it does matter. And everyone would appreciate if you were to do your research before getting herps. For the sex matter, it does make a difference. Males will kill males, so get a female regardless. With that said, putting them together is not a good idea, if the female is still young, or if you do not want any eggs.
