Are a leopard gecko and box turtle compatible?

Box Turtle can't live w/ leopard gecko No, these species are not compatible. In addition to their vastly different habitat requirements, the box turtle will eventually attain a size where it views the leopard gecko as prey. The leopard gecko prefers an enclosure which is much drier than that required by the box turtle, these animals coming from arid scrublands or rocky deserts and temperate forests, respectively.

Heat rocks tend to become too hot for leopard geckos and should be avoided due to the risk of burns. For viewing, a simple low-wattage light can be placed overhead on the screen-cage top and left on 12 hours a day. The ideal temperature in the hide box is 86 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit at all times.

The ambient air temperature of the room they are housed in should be above 73 degrees. Newspaper, pea gravel, artificial turf, flat stones or no floor covering are OK. A young or debilitated leopard gecko might consume sand or fine-particle products on the cage floor, and this could lead to intestinal impaction.

Live insects are a must for your gecko; they do not eat plants or veggies. The best items to use are mealworms or crickets, but you can treat your pet to waxworms or superworms once a week if you wish. We have used regular mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) without health issues for since 1978.

All insects must be first given a nutritious powdered diet for at least 12 hours before being fed to your leopard gecko. This process is called “gut loading,” and it is very important to the health of your pet. Chick or hog mash is available at all feed stores, and several good commercial diets are available for this purpose, as well.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
