We acquired a White Line Gecko 4 days ago. I've searched around for care sheets for the White Line Gecko and only found 2. The problem is they have conflicting information. I'm a real stickler for having things just right and want to have it just right for this little guy. Below is 2 different requirements for heating/humidity that I've found:
Heating Source 1: Daytime temp 82-85, Night temps low 70's
Heating Source 2: Daytime 75-85, Night temps 70-75, Local Temp of 85-95
Humidity Source 1: 65-70% Humidity
Humidity Source 2: 75% or higher
Our setup currently is: 10
gal glass tank with
UTH and 75 watt red heat lamp, screened top, damp towel on 1/3 of screen to help bring up humidity. We'll be adding a UV light to the enclosure soon. He's eating well and shed the 2nd day we had him. We've been misting several times a day to try to keep the humidity up, but it seems like a losing battle. We've tried covering a portion of the screen top and get a raise in temp but the tank gets too hot. Although playing around with the amount covered might help somewhat.
I've also read that live plants can be added to the setup to help with moisture, what types of plants are recommended?
Thanks for any tips & info you can offer!
