Hi guys.
I recently got a pictus gecko from a local pet shop. The gecko I was told is 3 months old. I was told to feed it 8 to 12 appropriate food items every day.
The shop also told to feed it every day even when it is adult although I have read elsewhere that adult geckos should be fed every other day or so.
In your opinion what is the correct schedule for a baby & adult of this species?
Also if I am to feed less often when adult, at what sort of age would this be?
The shop didn't really give much info on this although otherwise quite helpful.

Do some research online. Generally though for juveniles it seems that you should feed them about 4 crickets a day and adults a little less than that. I would assume that adulthood would mean sexual maturity

I cant find a lot of specific info online. I assumed that adulthood would mean sexual maturity too. She has laid 3 infertile eggs in my care so does that mean she is adult?

Probably, I'm not an expert in gecko care but I would think that she would be mature seeing how she's developed enough to lay eggs
