then i'll just leave it in and see what he does with it, i also have a spray bottle for the tank so i think he should be set for water.

You know what I'm planning to do for my beardie in his big tank? I'm going to make a place in one of his plateaus that holds a water bottle, like the ones they use for rodents. It's going to be positioned so that it can drip into the water dish, and I'm going to make it drip so he notices it. He will drink out of a water dish if he has to, but he prefers to drink off of things or from a dropper. I think that will be a great way to make something that he'll prefer, but can get any time he wants it. You could probably do something similar for a gecko (they make small water bottles that are made from a glass vial with a stopper in the end with a glass straw. One of those would be perfect for your gecko).

i'd have to have him bite me first... let me explain... i would want to know for sure if he bites it the glass wont break... so a test bite will be your best bet... if you're not sure how to do this... check out snakebytes tv... google it, then watch chewy practice getting bit to perfect your technique

thanks for the idea Froggsong, the the word of caution beckdg. i think though i will have to get him first to see what does do, but hay it's always good to be prepared.

just check my bank account and i should have enough money to buy him so i'll probably pick him up today or tomorrow.

Any new luck on the getting a new gecko? Have they gotten any more in stock?

nope, the problem is that i live in a city (well technically at least) that has 2 pet stores the rest are a drive away like 45 to 130 drive. also thay tend not to focus on reptiles, it more dogs and fish and such. also spent all my money on food so cant really get any thing till i get some more money (though the food was nice).

I have the same problem. Only two for me to go to as well. But don't get discouraged. I had been wanting a tokay for months and was about to order one online for $25 and $50 shipping. then one day one of my pet stores had a newborn one for $16!! and its over doubled in size and has been doing great for over 2 months!
