thats so cute he shakes his tail lol mine is only a baby but he will line up with his mealworms and start breathing a little faster and pounce on it lol hes so cute
I had my gecko for about a week, we keep himon dirt not sand. we try picking him up once a day to help him adapt to it. He is still a baby and eats only one cricket a day, is this normal??
@MrSummerisHOT a variety of crickets and mealworms (powdered with calcium + vitamin D) is best. mealworms alone doesnt get them all the nutrients they need
when the gecko strikes for food, it will take sand in its mouth with it, and therefore ingest it, this ends up blocking the geckos digestive tract and causing impaction, not being able to pass the sand ends up with the leo losing its life, also leos will eat the sand if they don't think that they are getting enough calcium or vitamins in their diet, inthe wild they will eat the substrate if they need extra stores in their body, this is why you should have a cap of calcium in the viv at all times
@guitardude499 depends on what type of sand you get and where. If you go to pet stores they have special sand made specifically for desert reptiles. These special types of sand specifically for desert reptilians are safe and not harmful in anyway for that sand has vitamins and protein in it that your gecko will occasionally nibble on and eat when its hungry and it cannot find neither crickets or mealworms in his habitat.
@CaptainTGblu@guitardude499 .but other than that if your leopard gecko is above 3 months old and he is bigger than your hand its fine to use special sand. and of course sheets of paper towel is also a safe bedding for leopard geckos.
I would recommend using paper kitchen towel as they can swallow sand and become impacted. Shortly after making this video I switched to kitchen towel and thats what he's lived on ever since.
@GorkyGecko you can use calcium sand as this has been proven to be suitable to be digested by leopard geckos all pet shops use them and if it killed them they wouldnt have any to sell and they do :)

@tint210 i wuld keep him on paper towel or reptile carpet, but if you want sand, then use really fine grain pool filter sand, the finest grain that you can find.
@tint210 Calcium sand is ok, but I would also recommend paper towel for many reasons: It is easier to clean up. It's cheaper than buying sand. Also it's safer for the gecko because if they swallow too much sand, they may become impacted, and we don't want that. I use paper towel for all of my Leopard Gecko's and they love it!
@13NoahCollins I ended up getting two females! They are both a year old, and they already have names, MilkyWay and Sunshine. The previous owner had named them.
I dont, when I bought him the place said to use sand, and they kept all the ones there on sand, but shortly after I made this I decided to change it to paper towel which he's been on ever since, and he's very comfortable on it =P.
He doesn't eat crickets now anymore, he prefers mealworms lol.
@GorkyGecko mine wont eat cricket or superworms im going to try mealworms and it was funny my gecko got smacked in the eye when i tried to hand feed him a cricket i was like dum cricket why did u do that

just use a fine gravel >4mm over the top of the sand.
