Is there a way to find a lost gecko?
Think about it like this: you do not have to find a lost gecko, simply find its hiding place. They can go a good while without food and water. Most are found quickly but I’ve heard of one appearing eight months later.
What should I do if my gecko is going to shed?
Place the hide on the hot side of the enclosure. The humid hide aids in shedding, so when your gecko is going to shed, you’ll want to make sure to mist the inside of the hide. Your gecko will begin to dull a day or so before they turn white-gray in color which is typical of shedding.
How can I get rid of geckos in my yard?
Remove any places where water can stagnate, such as birdbaths, as these are the breeding grounds for insects geckos prey upon and sources of hydration to geckos. Water your yard sparingly, as lizards enjoy the moist environment and will drink the water for hydration.
Are there any diseases that geckos can carry?
Geckos don’t bite or claw, but they do sometimes carry infectious bacteria and diseases like salmonella. These diseases can be potentially serious to humans if contracted.
Can a crested gecko live in a trio?
Trios can work if you have a lot of ledges, leaf cover and tubes for hiding and visual barriers. There is nothing wrong with these simple enclosures.

What to do if you find a gecko in a light bulb?
A good position to place the flypaper is on the inside of the light bulb’s shade/housing. You can also set glue boards or sticky cards near windows or other outdoor entryways. If you find a live gecko stuck in one of your sticky traps, you can unstick it and set it free by pouring vegetable oil over the trap.
