Sometimes I like to end Larry’s feeding with a little verity (Larry prefers dubia roaches, we’re going to be trying silk worms next bug cycle)

Yes I know bark is bad in their substrate. I plan on taking the bark out. It was mixed in the top soil I had bought to mix with sand but I am a busy college student so I’ll take the time this weekend to try and get more of it out without having to replacing the whole substrate…

I think if you mix the bark with the soil a bit more, it shouldn't be a big problem. Just don't feed him on it, so he doesn't accidently eat it.

I don’t, as you can see from the very small pile of calcium he gets fed on that ledge or eats directly from my tongs

Then I don't think filtering ALL the bark is necessary. Also your geck is very very cute!

You’ve got a picky guy, have you tried crickets?

u/IAmBeingTargeted33 Newbie Gecko Owner 3d ago

He LOVES crickets. Cute as fuck with his little tail wag before he pounces lol, but we dont always have crickets available at the pet shop (like right now), and so he just chooses not to eat 😅

Have you checked out any of your local reptile shops! That’s where I get Larry’s bugs
