Thanks, Red-eye. I did forget to mention in my post that all the leos have
access to humid boxes. The boxes are checked daily & misted as needed.

it is very simple & provides humidity for the gek which aids in
sloughing off the shed - without it geks do lose toes unnecessarily. Get
a small Tupperware container & drill a 1" - 1 1/2" hole in
the top. Fill box loosely with pre moistened vermiculite & play sand
to withing an inch or so of the top. You should be able to make a
snowball of the mixture to insure you have the correct amount of
water.The geks will stay in there all day long - they love it
