How To Correctly Feed Your Leopard Gec ko

right - A Tokay Gecko

If you’ve never owned a reptile before, then you will probably find the eating habits of a gecko take some getting used to.

Geckos, like many other reptiles and amphibians, are insectivores. This means their staple diet consists of insects.

The pet store that sold your Gecko will also carry a variety of crickets, meal-worms, super-worms, silkworms, cockroaches and crickets in a variety of sizes. All of these are suitable meals for your lizard.

As a treat only, especially for egg-laying and breeding adult females, you may want to provide a pinkie mouse that is only a few days old.

Wax-worms are also an option, but you should give these to your gecko very infrequently, as they are very fattening and are very addictive for geckos and many other lizards. Consider them only as another rare treat. They look like fat maggots and some people don't like to handle them.
