Here's the new gecko! He weighs 6 grams and is approx. 4-4-1/2 inches long (too wiggly to get an accurate measurement). He is a young gecko--maybe 3 or 4 months (?); too young to sex yet. Last night I watched him stalk, catch and devour a small cricket. Later, I checked on him when I was going to bed and he was stalking the other cricket I had put in the enclosure.I am powdering the crickets just as I put them in the enclosure. Also, I am putting in either applesauce with added complete gecko diet, or complete gecko diet mixed with water, every other day. This is the same as I did with Art, although I didn't powder the crickets, and I didn't ever see Art eating the applesauce or complete gecko diet.
I need to figure out a name. A few have been suggested (Elvis, Picasso, Gordie, Spot), but I haven't decided on one yet.
This little guy is quite active; wakes up FAST in the middle of the day when you reach for him. Fun! I can't wait to see what develops!
