Hello! This month has been crazy! I adopted my 7 year old female crested gecko on August 14th. She laid (probably fertilized) eggs yesterday (9/6/17)! Woo!
I assumed cleaning the habitat was something to be done as needed, but I just heard that it should be done every two weeks. So, I am very late! What should I use to clean the habitat? In her 18×18×24 inch Exo-Terra, she has 2 fake bamboo sticks suction cupped to the walls, 3 large plastic plants with suction cups, 1 large silk plant with a suction cup, 1 large silk plant "vine", the Pangea Ultimate Gecko feeding ledge, a cork round, and paper towel as substrate. Her lay box was removed this morning and I will put it back in her enclosure once I can transfer the eggs to the incubation supplies I have coming in the mail. The incubation stuff should be here in 3-7 days. I will put the lay box back in her enclosure in 3-7 days.
Since (ever since I got her) I have had trouble getting the humidity in her enclosure to drop low enough in the afternoon (the lowest it usually drops in the afternoon is 65-70%), should I look out for mold while cleaning the enclosure? If I do find mold growing on something, how should I clean it off?
Is it okay if I clean the enclosure tomorrow instead of tonight? The enclosure it at my mom's and tonight I am at my dad's. I can go clean it tonight if it is absolutely necessary, but I am 2p minutes away, so it would be easier to do it tomorrow if that is okay.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
