Meal worms
I think about 10 mealies = 5 crix (large sized). Just remember that crickets eat mealies. So leaving both in the tank at the same time will result in mealie massacre and a waste of your mealie money.
85 to 90 during the daytime, 80 to 85 in the night (drop 5 degrees for the cool side of the tank)
Shouldn’t handle your golden gecko much or at all (with exception of vet visits and tank cleanings). They have a very delicate skin and will stress considerably while held.
