Nice geckos. They look to be a couple of weeks old. Not to be a buzzkill but do I see a heat rock? If so get rid of it!
lol.. like I said before, yes I have a heatrock and it is fine, besides they are no longer in that tank, princess is too baig to be in the same tank as babies-believe me- so they are living in a 5g until the final setup is finished. The 5g barely has anything in it but food & water bowls, some tubes for hiding. Thanks for the thought but all is fine!
Umm...actually no they're not fine, especially for animals so small and sensitive to thermal heat burns like those babies. Do you have a digital heat probe? Put it on the rock and see how hot it gets. Anything over 90 is too hot. Heat rocks are bad and old school. No respectable herp keeper uses them, they are old obsolete technology. They don't have a thermostat so you can't adjust how hot they get. They can and will burn animals. Please get an under the tank heater.
Sooooo cute! I'm trying to convince the wifey to allow some Leopards into the house but with all the tanks I already have, she's put her foot down saying I need to get/make a guinea pig habitat set up for the kids before I even THINK about geckos. =)
