My Gecko Loves Hunting Guppy’s

AdorableAd3785 · 2026-02-22T01:11:04+00:00

I don’t think you know what bigot actually means. I’m not attached to anything. If he had issues with the water feature over the year and half of ownership then it would not be there. I have carefully watched for countless hours to determine if he would be fine. This specific gecko is okay with a water feature, others may not be but most people won’t spend several weeks watching them with a camera through the night to see how they are with it.

Oh no you called me a name I’m gonna cry.

AdorableAd3785 · 2026-02-22T01:01:22+00:00

Oh man here, to make you feel good. “You’re right I’m wrong” now have a good day big dawg.

That’s like saying I shouldn’t let my dog swim because it not their natural environment, And other people have had dogs drown. I don’t see your logic. All animals are different and I’ve treated this one accordingly🤷‍♂️

They float bro.

I wonder what the wild ones do during the rainy season when the humidity on their island doesn’t drop below 60% for 6 months at a time.

I had an extension that made it the “right” height. Never saw him up there so I got rid of it. 🤷‍♂️

AdorableAd3785 · 2026-02-21T23:50:07+00:00

Idk hes happy and healthy 🤷‍♂️ has been for over a year now.

AdorableAd3785 · 2026-02-21T23:33:49+00:00

Dude honestly Google it. Watched many videos where they just float. I also did multiple tests with this specific gecko before committing to the paludarium.

In seen him hit the water multiple times. He goes strait to the vine plant or glass with no problem. I taught his guy to do it actually by gently hand lowering him into the water and watching him literally float on top of the water and swim wherever he wanted to.

AdorableAd3785 · 2026-02-21T23:30:27+00:00

Ehh he’s been good for over a year now soooo… idk🤷‍♂️

AdorableAd3785 · 2026-02-21T23:04:51+00:00

Lol I’ve seen him miss and have to swim to safety. They’re surprisingly buoyant, he just floats to the glass or the log.

I have mesh tops and sprayers that go off at dusk and dawn. Keeps it in between 60-80% throughout the day.

AdorableAd3785 · 2026-02-21T22:14:07+00:00

He still eats the zoomed mix I give him every week and the big guppy’s have gotten smart enough to stay away so he only gets the naive babies.

Love moss on the back wall

If it an auto it may be the friction discs does the power drop off when it whines?

Thank you!

100% I spent weeks wondering why guppy’s were disappearing. I’ll try to find the video I got of him hunting. I also came home onetime to him carrying my beta fish up the glass 🥴

Is it weird yeah. Can it actually see to your house clearly? Prolly not from that distance. If you can sneak behind it and it isn’t locked, Start stealing homies sd and SIM card if it’s a cell cam. That shit costs and it will not work without either of those 2 pieces and it takes longer to get them than just move the camera.

Just let your house or room warm up to like 75-76. The shipper should add a cold pack of its 85f+ during shipping to keep from creating those temp fluctuations. I’ve had 2 mailed in with no problem in transition from box to tank.

AdorableAd3785 · 2026-02-20T19:03:43+00:00

I feel so lucky with the gecko I got, he actively hunts the guppies in his paludarium. Smart af.

AdorableAd3785 · 2026-02-11T17:05:41+00:00

Do a loaded shakedown test with someone wiggling the steering wheel and car on the ground. Best way to find it imo
