I got a leopard gecko around Christmas time, I think they are around 4 months? I just wanted to make sure my husbandry is fine. Please be free to critique my care.
Gecko Info:
Your Gecko - I have a leopard gecko, its a baby so I can't tell what the gender is yet. I think they around 4-5 months old. I got them the day before Christmas.
Handling - I handle them for about 5-10 minutes a day.
Feeding - I feed my gecko crickets and mealworms currently, I hope to introduce them to silkworms and hornworms soon. I feed them 2 mealworms and 3 medium-sized crickets. I also do gut load my feeders apples and oranges.
Supplements - On Tuesdays and Thursdays I dust the feeders with reptivite (with D3) and also put that in dish in their cage. The rest of the week I use calcium from rep cal (without D3).
Watering - I use a small kidney dish (purpose is to remind me to change it every day) and change the water in the dish every day. I haven't yet seen them drink it though.
Fecal Description - Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites? Mostly white with specks of yellow and brown, noticeably hard when dry.
History - The history is unknown, I got them from a local pet store who takes very good care of their reptiles and other animals. I know the morph is just a normal though.

Cage Info:
Cage Type - I have a 10 gal glass tank, when they get to adulthood I plan to upgrade to a 20 gal.
Heating - I use a heatpad on the warm side, as well as a thermostat to control temperatures.
Temperature - On the cool side of the tank it is around 70-80 degrees F, and on the warm side its around 83-90 degrees F I use a probe thermometer to measure the temperature.
Humidity - I have a hygrometer being shipped to me currently, but I assume the humidity in the humid hide is around 30%.
