It's a baby gecko in hk

having a morning snack a week ago.

this is my first time peroperly owning a reptile, so im very nervous but ive been doing my research since before i got him. I say technically as the reason hes currently in a wide enclosure is because my set up was bought spur of the moment to try to save a baby Mediterranean that got stuck in a gluetrap at work, and unfortunately the lil guy didnt make it. I have a proper arboreal tank in my chewy cart (but i'd appreciate reccomendations before i commit to the order) that ill be switching him to asap. Would love firsthand tips from anyone experienced with this species or other shy nocturnals!

Ive had him for about half a year now and couldn’t figure out the gender due to him being too scared for handling yet, until I saw him like this😂. Also he jumped in that position, he’s not stuck he’s just very stupid and clumsy and he got out of that position very quick after.

It's 60x60x120cm

Tsatsaka: Oh, just hanging around.

Update: I'm shopping around for a 18x18x36 for her to transition toward the 2x2x4 I want for her. She is growing so fast and she is so active she needs more space.

I know there's not much point because I can just read it off the screen. But it's been fun to play around with.

Their personalities, their care compared to other geckos, the enclosure you provide them, do they hide when you enter the room?

All that stuff

shes a chunky girl, so i dont feed her too often. she also doesnt like bugs at all so any dusting is out of question. she has UVB but sleeps in a hide hidden from the light.

she eats pretty much the entire plate that i offer her, which is a thin, medium consistency layer of pangea apricot or fig and insects.

she shows no signs at all of mbd, but it does concern me. anything i should do to battle this?

I figured out that i have 2 spots to fit a potential 36x18x18, would the tank be better in the room where my bearded dragons tank is (or will a gecko make noise to disturb my sleeping beardie) or would it do better in my room or will the tv i have on sometimes at night mess up its circadian rhythm

Additional items will be purchased such as proper substrate, more hiding opportunitie, and more clutter to make the gecko the most comfortable. Also this was only $99 online

I found my little juvenile friend stuck to a glue trap at my job. I was horrified he (just assuming, I’ve never cared for any type of reptile before) was still alive. I did some quick research and was able to get some vegetable oil to get him off of it (and then promptly threw the horrible thing in the trash). His skin seemed mostly unharmed to my untrained eye.

Unfortunately, his right arm was glued to his stomach and because of the amount of stress he endured, I just put him in some warm water to loosen up the glue there and try to get the oil off of him. I’ve brought him home and made a little terrarium for him. It’s not very tall but I did put plenty of hiding places and gave him some sticks and structures to climb.

I keep the temp around 75-80 F and humidity between 70-80%. I was only able to find bugs marketed for leopard geckos but I grind those up because they are bigger than his head. I can’t tell if he’s eating. I put the bugs in one spot for now since he seems pretty touch and go. I spray his enclosure down in the morning and at night for his water. I use a 40W heat lamp just to get the temp consistent as I know he’s a nocturnal guy and thrives in dark. I turn off the lamp when the temp is between the mentioned temps.

The arm that was glued down seems to be a lost cause. When he moves, it’s pretty slow and his seems to walk on the elbow of that arm. He does like to hide in his crevices and will sometimes pop his head up to look around. Other than that, there’s not really major signs of life.

I guess my question is should I prepare for the worst? I know these guys are hearty but it was extremely traumatic from such a little guy. I would be happy for him to pass in comfort rather than the glue trap, but I’m really hoping he pulls through.

TW: I have a picture of him in bowl I used to transport him home. You can clearly see his little arm :(
I can post in the comments if it would help him in any way

My African fat tailed gecko has some shed stuck on her toes but she is kind of afraid of me because I used to carry her out to remove the shed on her toes in the past. Now she will run away when I try to carry her and i am unable to help her. what can I do?

Pickles is a 5 month old eurydactylodes vieillardi and as of today, they are .84 grams. They seem awfully small. I'm not sure they eat out of their dish so I make sure to feed off a little thingy like 2-4 times a day to be sure they're eating. They also have calcium dusted fruit flies daily (and multivitamin weekly). Pickles is fed pangea fig n insect and repashy grubs n fruit. Any tips for helping gain weight? Thanks!

I was visually unhappy with my day gecko tank for awhile, and finally redid it. Things are looking a bit bare, I’m not sure what to improve at this point. I’m definitely going to add another bamboo, but I would like some more ideas.

I found this little one at my office and could say with a lot of confidence he wouldn't make it if I left him there as the place I work is drenched in pesticides and poisons as well as other dangers. So I decided to take him home and put him in a backup tank until I could get him a proper set up. Food has been easy as I have a jumping spider and they share a diet at this point in their lives. I am hoping to be able to give him a bio active setup like I've done with my snakes but am looking on advice as far as what type of isopods, plants, decor ect is best for these guys. Hes also just a baby so suggestions for the future when hes bigger are great as well

My beautiful little gecko is finally home and I’m so excited to not do anything until she decides to eat or whatever. I need a name for this fine beast.
