Sooo, I have a gecko quite by accident... sort of. As you may know, I work in a pet store, and a guy walks in and tells me about a gecko he found. He works in the shipyards, and usually the freight from places like hawaii and indonesia are filled with geckos, dead geckos. This one was alive however, and he had become kind of attached to in the the last few hours and wanted to know how to take care of it. We went over the basics of reptile care, terrarium, lighting, crickets, humidity, all of that, and after looking at the prices of light bulbs, he decided he didn't really want the gecko anymore. He asked if someone would take it. I told him to go talk to the girls in the specialty pet department. No one wanted it. So, being a sucker, I was like "ok! I'll take him."
I now have a very pretty gecko in a warm, humid tupperware type set up (yes there is airflow.). I was flipping through books and have discovered it's a gold dust day gecko, native to Madagascar but also introduced to Hawaii. (the freight was from Hawaii.) But I don't really know how to take care of it and I can't find a lot of information. I checked out a few forums, but non of them are very active. Do any of you know of an active reptile hoppyists forum?
