How do you care for a Mediterranean gecko?

First, it should be kept in a container with at least a cubic foot of space that the gecko can't escape from. Make sure it is ventilated. For bedding they can use substrate, calcium sand, or artificial reptile cage carpeting. This will have to be spot cleaned weekly and changed out at least once a month.

Geckos are cold blooded reptiles and will need a heat source directed on one side of the cage. If possible, provide it with UVA/UVB fluorescent bulbs. Otherwise, a UVA bulb will suffice. Lights should be on no more than 12 hours a day. A thermometer in the cage is useful to make sure that the temperature stays around 80 degrees F on the side of the cage the heating light is on. Adjust the lighting accordingly.

Geckos will also require a shallow water dish placed on the opposite side of the tank from the heating lamp. For food, your gecko will probably prefer live small crickets. Drop as many as it will eat at once (usually 1-3) in the cage once daily. Avoid using any insects you find yourself, as these may carry pesticides or other things that could possibly harm your lizard. You can buy live crickets coated with a nutritious calcium powder at most pet stores and feed stores.
