| Humidity: |
During the time that your Leopard Gecko is shedding
its skin it will help to mist the enclosure which
should raise the humidity and aid in the process. |
| |
|
| Lighting: |
Like most other lizards light should be provided
in 12 hour cycles of light and darkness. Since Leopard
Geckos are nocturnal their light should be provided
during the night. |
| |
|
| Physical Design: |
Leopard Geckos will need a place that they can
hide if they are scared, this can be in the form
of a hide box or of thick branches and plant cover. |
| |
|
| Substrate: |
Do not use a substrate that is to fine or the
Leopard Gecko will certainly ingest some of it.
This is a dangerous occurance as it can lead to
intestinal impaction. |
| |
|
| Temperature: |
85 degrees F is generally considered to be the
optimal temperature for Leopard Geckos. At night
a temperature drop of a few degrees is a good idea. |
