How to Care for a Pictus Gecko
Looking for a new pet to add to your family? Why not consider a Pictus Gecko from Nature Box Pet Emporium in Aurora, CO? They are easy to care for and can be kept in a variety of habitats. In this guide, we will provide you with all the information you need to know about keeping Pictus Gecko as pets.
Home Sweet Home
The first thing you need to do when you get your pet Pictus Gecko is to set up its habitat. A 20-gallon tank is a good size for one or two adult Pictus Gecko. The tank should be outfitted with a branch or two for the lizards to climb on, as well as some moss and caves to provide them with cover.
What’s for Dinner?
In the wild, Pictus Gecko eat a variety of insects, including crickets, mealworms, and waxworms. You can mimic their natural diet by feeding them with a mix of live food and frozen food available at our store. Be sure to dust the live food with calcium powder to ensure your pet gets the nutrients it needs.
Keep it Humid
Pictus Gecko require a humid environment, with temperatures ranging from 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit. You can achieve this by using a heating lamp and an under-tank heater. The heating lamp should be on one end of the tank so the pictus gecko can move to a different spot if it gets too warm.
A Clean Home is a Happy Home
You will need to clean the tank regularly to remove waste and debris. To clean the tank, simply remove your Pictus Gecko and any decorations and rinse them off with warm water. Then, use a reptile-safe cleaner to clean the inside of the tank. Rinse the tank thoroughly, and allow it to dry completely before putting your Pictus Gecko back in.
