mourning geckos are a small, hardy andsocial gecko species suitable for a beginning gecko keeperthey're an excellent inhabitant for naturalistic and live vivariums. housing mourning geckos arecomfortable at room temperature between 65 and 80 degrees fahrenheitabout 18 to 27 celsius they do not require specialized lightingthese characteristics allow for some flexibility in terms of suitableenclosures for this species these tiny geckos adept at escapinghowever so it is important to ensure that there are no crevices or gaps inthe enclosure
the most basic enclosure consists ofventilated container with a paper towel substrate some sticks or vines for climbing atleast one hide per gecko and food and water dishes thisenclosure is suitable for hatchlings to juveniles up to about three months old a more naturalistic setup can includecoco fiber substrate with a top dressing up sanitize dry leaves branches, hides made of bark, and withsufficient lighting potted plants. a live vivarium with adrainage layer
abg mix mix or similar substrate andthriving live plants is the most attractive option in terms of appearanceas well as ease of maintenance morning geckos are often kept along withdart frogs in such set-ups when choosing lighting for a plantedvivarium keep in mind that morning geckos canbecome stressed if temperatures exceed eighty five fahrenheit about 29 celsiusif parts of their enclosure approach this temperature make sure that the geckos have a coolarea to which they can retreat various hide should be available in theform of plants
gaps in cork bark, bamboo tubes orsimilar maintenance: feeding any of the popular high-quality crestedgecko diet powders can be used as a staple diet these are simply mixed with water andoffered in a small dish prepared diets can typically be left inthe enclosure for 36 to 48 hours if the food begins to dry out after aday or so it can be misted with water some keepers choose to useprepared food exclusively with good results
insects, however,are a natural part of themorning gecko's diet and can also be fed. flightless fruit flies (melanogaster or hydei) are readily eaten. my geckos also eat small isopods, bean beetles flour beetle larvae, and occasionally, very small crickets. food is best offered in a shallow glass or plastic dish such as a petri dish. if prepared dietsare used exclusively no calcium supplementation is necessaryif insects make up a significant portion of the diet they should be lightlydusted with the calcium powder
containing a small to moderate amount of vitamin d3 morning geckos require periods of higherhumidity to help them shed their enclosure should be misted onceor twice daily at this time the geckos may drink fromthe droplets that form on the surface is within the enclosure they'll also drink readily from a smalldish which should always be available change the water in clean the dishseveral times per week to prevent bacteria build-up
the use have distilled there are 0 waterwill help prevent mineral deposits from building up on the side to bring closure live in naturalistic burial will need minimal cleaning theglass implant use will need to be mister to wipe down where soiled a healthy population a spring tales andi supposed to help keep the substrate clean if you use paper towels as a substratereplace them frequently every day or every other day as neededthe enclosure walls will also need to be
weighed down regularly remove the geckos and watch the entireinclosure thoroughly about once a week the morning get cause i mean thenocturnal by nature they're often active during the day thisis especially true when you keep a group goes together if you feed the geckos during the daythey will soon learn to emerge from their hiding places to eat keep two or more get this together asthis species no territorial prefers to live in groups
to come behaviors you will likelyobserve them in the ghettos chirping until waving as you may knowmorning acres reproduced without the need for a male a single gecko is capable of reproducingby itself but you may have better results with more than one between the ages of 7 and 10 monthshealthy morning acres was simply begin to lay eggs the eggs are right very small and hardshow like a bird sick they're usually late in coaches have toceilings are not uncommon however
the exit blue tooth surfaces and ifthey're attached to the enclosure itself is usually bestto leave them attached as removing them without damage can bedifficult typically the eggs are laid high up in the very imoccasionally they will show up in other places not all the eggs will develop if niggascracked a defective the you docs will often eat depending ontemperature the eggs may take approximately two tofour months to hatch most mines in touch about three and ahalf months
i don't morning acres will sometimesbother even eat hatchlings so it may be best to protect the eggs byremoving the adults to another enclosure before the young hatch or to remove the young right after theyhatch some people prefer to leave the babies with the adults as long as plenty of food water andshelter available number the should survive caring for hatching eggsis very similar to caring for adults the end will begin eating dusted fruitflies within a few days soon they will also learn to takeprepared gecko diet as well
keeping the hatchlings in smaller inclosures may help them find food and allow you to observe them or easily event related thirty-two andstill wake up with a paper towel a branch or two and food and water dishis sufficient for two hatchlings for a couple of months by the time the geckos are four monthsold it will be nearly as long as the adults they seem to reach for the link andreproductive maturity at about seven to 10 months old
morning it does tend to be ratherskittish in quick you're not likely become as common as crestor leopardgeckos for example if regularly handled from a young agehowever some individuals can become considerably less shock
