Sexing and Characteristics:

Mourning Geckos are extremely adaptive to changing environments simply because they do not need to have a mate to lay eggs.They are parthenogenic.That means that a female can reproduce without a male.So they are all female.They can be found in the Hawaiian Islands,Australia,North America,South America,and many other places.

Mostly Active During:

Day

Substrate and Water Needs:

For the substrate,I suggest you use ’’Bed-A-Beast’’. For the water dish,you can buy one at a pet store.You can also make one of your own by getting a small butter tub and put a rock in it.That way your lizard can soak in it and get a drink when it wants.

Lighting and UVB:

A UVB Light is necessary for the gecko to process vitamins and minerals.A Flood Light can also be used to brighten up the aquarium.

Temperatures and Humidity:

The temperature should be 80-92 degrees.They temperature should never drop below 60 degrees.

Heating and Equipment:

Heating rocks should not be used because they can burn your lizards belly.Underground heating pads can be used,but are not necessary.

Caging Provided:

A 10 gallon tank can house 1 gecko and for 2 or 3 geckos,you can use a 20-25 gallon tank.They are very good with other small groups of Mourning Lizards.

Crickets that are smaller than your lizards head can be fed to it.It will also eat waxworm larvae and other small insects.
