25yr old Leopard Gecko cage tour

A quick description of Dink's cage and its contents. There's not much in the cage and that's the way she likes it. I turn on the nightshot and you can see Dink inside her cave. Yes, she's still alive.

Good: Somehow reached 25 years Water Astro Turf Hydrometer Bad: No Calci Dish 1 hide No Heat Gauge No Light ... Could be improved ... ..you agree?

@HYLGBow The family who had her for 15 years before me used an upside down woven basket hide and fed her a pinkie a month. That's it. I guess I could've gotten the other stuff but I wasn't really going for a world record. Good suggestions though.

I got a question I just got a leopard gecko don't you need a humid hide for shedding?

[rcocker]

@ShamEqualsFake Yes, it is best to have a humid hide. Dink has had trouble shedding and a humid hide would've made that easier.

how hot is your tank

[rcocker]

@TheSnarfal Tank is probably in the mid to high 70s Fahrenheit. I never stuck a thermometer in there but its always been a little warmer than my house which is kept in the low 70s.

@rcocker Well then I suppose thats ok ...sort of ... yea anyway ... My gecko is a rescue gecko too! :D

Mine was left for 2 weeks in a park in summer and barely had anything to eat and someone found her under a bin ... I now have her...shes 3 :)
