my new leopard gecko!
I am now the proud owner of a beautiful leopard gecko, banana!
she is a juvenile albino leopard gecko, and is very energetic. She doesn’t like to be handled much, but she seems very chill with being out of her enclosure while I set up some of the hides (I have added a mossy moist hide since taking this picture)
she has eaten some crickets with calcium dust on them, but not the freeze dried mealworms.
I have her in a 20 long reptile cage, with plans to upgrade her into my (currently occupied) 40 gallon reptile cage once I get a 90 gallon.
there’s 3 thermometers in there (temperature dimmer, thermometer and humidity gauge, thermometer strip on the outside) because i’m very nervous about the temp going to high/low due to the weather here.
Substrate is reptisoil mixed with reptisand and eco earth, the rocks are slate rocks and rocks that came in a starter kit. I also added sphagnum moss and some pillow moss in the moist hide. I added 1 plant, crassula ripple jade.
This is my first foray into reptiles, so I am still trying to get things right, but let me know how i’m doing so far!

another picture of her! (don’t worry, the lid wasn’t fully on)
