Re: Sticky situation for this little guy :(

That's great! He's gonna love that for sure, thank you for taking such good care of that little guy. Don't forget to keep the humidity up too by spraying and such, and he might not recognize standing water so it would be a good idea to spray him as well, go make sure he doesn't become dehydrated. Good luck with Leo

Re: Sticky situation for this little guy :(

By the way, that looks very similar to Mediterranean House Geckos, an invasive species in the Americas (and while I don't know the exact year they were introduced, they've been here a while and have a relatively stable population. I saw them all the time when I lived further south, they would gather on the windows to wait for the insects that are attracted to the light. Intelligent boogers, although I don't think they're wreaking too much havoc on the ecosystem, seeing as they have plenty of predators here. Technically, it's probably illegal to release him because of that, but one more gecko isn't going to do anything and if it were a major cause for concern, you'd hear about it more often.

Here's a caresheets for them btw:

Re: Sticky situation for this little guy :(

That's how house geckos usually look. These guys breed prolifically and are almost impossible to kill with decent husbandry, so you should have a good couple of years with the guy if you decide to keep him. Has he eaten yet?

Re: Sticky situation for this little guy :(

Yeah... I have to powder him sometimes... Cos the glue comes of.. So he opens his mouth(bit me twice.. Very funny) so i took a moth and stuck it in the hatch.. And i placed him back... Latter.. No more moth anywhere =)
I think i will keep him.. He is so cute and the only pet i have that does not hide the hole day.. Ha ha

Re: Sticky situation for this little guy :(

If you can get ahold of crickets or worms or such, that would be best simply as you can't be sure of the health of wild-caught feeders. Also be mindful that these guys, even the captive bred ones, aren't all that handable. Even if you get him to where he won't bite you, they can be really flighty and you can't always tell when they're going to make a run for it.

I'd try tong-feeding once he sheds and seems to be adapting sort of well, and to try and establish some level of trust so you aren't a stressful situation whenever you open the cage for whatever reason.
