Question:

Flukers moss for a humidity chamber (leopard gecko)?

Is it okay??? I put it about an inch deep where he usually goes to hide, and I mist the moss each day. Also, is it okay if I just put in 3 dozen crickets every friday, instead of giving him food every 2 days?

Answer:

i personally just use eco earth or coconut fiber, and mist daily. too many crickets can over run your reptile if they get hungry from what i've heard. mealworms are a good alternative. i keep a small tub of mealworms in my fridge to feed to my leo throughout the week, and once a week she gets crickets. last weekend she had her first pinky in her 4 year life span, those should be offered as very rare treats though. make sure crickets are dusted with a calcium supplement.
moss is fine but vermiculite is the best especially for breeding and no try not to leave the crickets in for longer than over night unless you have a 30 gallon or larger cage with some food for the crickets in it
