messy gecko problem......

[goose_uk]

Hey all,

I am a newbie to reptiles, and have just had my 2 leopard gecko's for a month or so now. All is well, and there are extremley healthy, the only problem I have is that they keep crapping in their moist hide..... which is a pain in the behind.

How can I encourage them to go else where in their enclosure? They are in a 24" by 18" floor sapce....so plenty of room....

Change the humid hide. Leos associate where to use the bathroom at by a familiar smell. If you completly change the hide it should discourage them to use that as the bathroom.

Yeah they usually go in the same spot. You could also try moving the poo into a corner of the tank you would like them to go. Then they might start going there because of the smell.
