Im very interested in keeping leopards as they have the same/approx temps as my snakes and I could put them in a rack, but my questions to you leopard gecko experts is....

What are your feeding schedules like? Sun-Sat?
When to use what vitamins? (muti, calcium, etc?)

Mostly confused with the powders with the food.

Please enlighten me pllllease.:master:

I don't own a leopard any more but I do have an AFT. They are about the same as far as care goes. Bull gets fed 6-12 dusted crickets a day. I dust with calcium and vitamins daily. Most will probably say this is over doing it but bBull doesn't seem to mind and he's been fed this way for three years.

I dont dust the food with calcium since they have a bowl of calcium in their cage. And they can lap up as much as they need. I dust with vitamins once a week, maybe twice for the babies.

Also my bugs are gutloaded so Im not too worried about them missing any nutrients. And I raise my own bugs so Im confident in their quality. Im quite the bug rancher :)

I feed babies and juvies daily or every other day. I feed the adults as often as they want to eat which is usually 3-4x a week. Laying females are offered food every day which they usually take.

We give our Leo's a water bowl, Food Bowl and Calcium bowl....

We dust the mealworms with calcium powder and feed between 6-12 mealworms ea.


A couple of the big leo's we have eat mice/rat pinks! That's more of a
"once in a blue moon" sorta thing but awesome to watch! I'll make a video one of these days and upload it to youtube so I can post it here!
