Boyfriend found a peeping Tom

[jfulcher]

In the ladies room at work he found this:

He saved him from a rush of screaming waitresses. -_-
And is bringing him to me. What do I feed him and how do I water him?! He's so itty bitty!!! Any advice on care for him would be perfect!!! He named him "Tom" as in peeping Tom. LOL!!!

That thing is tiny!
I haven't had any lizards it a long time.
I'm guessing a shallow bowl and some very small prey. Pinheads and FFFs

Very cute.

Wow, your boyfriend must be fast!! The geckos around my house are little scaly lightning bolts!

Super cute, congrats on your new friend.

At our house they thrive by hanging around light bulbs and munching the bugs that land near them. A ceiling light is sort of a cafeteria for them. They derive all their needs from bugs and need nothing else.

Small crickets should work great as feeders. Give it an occasional misting. Your new friend won't drink from a water dish but will lick water droplets from surfaces in the enclosure.

Also, dust some of the crickets with calcium/vitamin powder. They grow fast if they are well fed and taken care of. I love how cute baby Mediterranean geckoes are!

that is so cool!

Cool. Hemidactylus turcicus the invasive Mediterranean House Gecko. They like little crickets and roaches. You could try fresh killed too. Mist the walls of the enclosure and they will drink the water drops; also have a small water dish. Good luck.

What's your bf doing in the ladies room, is his name Tom too haha. Those are vocal, the adults squeak to others sometimes and sometimes when you catch them. They don't do it often though. I have a lot of them around here esp. this year.
