you can put a water dish in but tokays will generally just lap up the water that you mist them with. so when you mist them make sure that you spray a lot on the leaves and wall of the tank. you will also need calcium powder to dust the crickets with.

how big is the enclosure ? and is the red bulb for night ? I use a nighttime bulb day and night. I only use a 40 watt for a 120 gallon tank. They don’t need much heat

I’m not 100% sure but I don’t know why it wouldn’t be. I dust all the crickets with pure calcium (no D3) but i also feed hornworms, waxworms, silkworms and superworms so he doesn’t get it as often as he should. Better to be safe than sorry I always say!

i always dust my crickets which are mines staple food. Farmed crickets don’t have the same nutritinal value that the gecko would get eating its normal wild insects. Crickets themselves are pretty lacking in nutrients so that’s why it is always good to gut load them and dust them with calcium so you know that your gecko is getting the proper nutrition.
