Instructions
Plant large bushes and plants to attract insects the geckos will feed on. Bushes and plants should be planted in or near sun-lit areas to provide places for the geckos to sunbathe.
Provide a shallow container of turkey- or chicken-flavored baby food when insects are scarce. These containers should be no more than 1/2 an inch deep, and must be changed daily to keep away predators and prevent disease.
Place shallow containers of clean water throughout your yard or garden for the geckos to drink from. Using the lid from a jar or container is the preferred option as they are not generally deep enough to allow the geckos to drown.
Place small containers with holes cut in the sides underneath bushes and in trees for geckos to nest in. These containers should be placed in shady areas to help geckos regulate their body temperature.
Remove all bird feeders from your yard or garden. Many birds are natural predators of geckos and will easily destroy the gecko population around your home.
