I bought a little Asian House Gecko yesterday from a pet shop yesterday selling him as pet food. I couldn't bear to let the little guy die so I bought him and set up a nice little home for him. He seems to really enjoy climbing up all the branches and laying on his rocks (the tank the pet store kept him in had nothing at all but bareness and newspaper) and LOVES his hide. He ate 4 mealworms on his first night and did his business on his favourite branch. Right now he's sleeping in his little purple house. I called him Cujo.
This is a photo I took of him last night on his branch:
Here are some photos I just took after adding a few more things into the tank:
I can't wait for him to wake up and explore his new playthings, especially the little hollow log I put in there. What do you guys think? I hadn't gone in with the intention of buying a gecko but couldn't leave him there to die so I slapped and enclosure together with what I had. I think it looks alright. Also thinking of going back there and getting him a friend. Big enough for two?
