Need a bit of help...My well meaning dad bought me a juvenile Giant Day gecko from a reptile expo for my birthday. The thing is, I have absolutely no idea how to care for these guys. I own two crested geckos and a bunch of other reptiles but have never really owned anything tropical. I need some tips and pointers on how to make this guy happy. He is really cute and I'd like to keep him but I want to make sure that he is healthy and happy and that I'm not messing up.

there's no real difference between them and cresties beside UVB light, and more bugs that you dust with calcium.

oh and temperature, but you can just attach a simple heat mat to their enclosure.
>>
>>2241093
He's cute.
>>
>>2241112
not my picture; he won't sit still long enough for one.
>>2241104
What kind of bulb do I need? UVB? I know they sell bulbs specifically for tropical reptiles. I also put a live Pothos in his enclosure. I read they can eat a gecko meal replacement similar to Repashy is that true?
>>
>>2241093
Do they need humidity?
That's the biggest issue people have.
They have great automatic misting/humidity systems nowadays though.

The need it a little warmer than crested geckos.

Its enough if u spray down their tank once a day...in winter when its colder every 2 days is enough. Better less humid than too humid.

Please read some care sheets
>>
>>2241521
I've looked at many care sheets but I don't really trust them since most care sheets I've read for crested geckos say that they can be fed on a diet of baby food which I know to be dangerous and false.
>>
>>2241120
preferably a combination of uvb and uva, I heard they benefit from that, plus you'll need it to keep your plants alive.

it'll need more crickets than a cresty.
>>2241521
spraying doesn't increase the humidity a whole lot, flooding is better.
>>
>>2241093
ky or cincinnati?

>>2241093
He's so cute, I want to cuddle it...
