I am getting a leo gecko for the first time. I have already decided that it's main food will be crickets with an occaional bunch of mealworms. How much crickets would you feed them and what times would you feed them?

thanks

Being crepuscular, they are active during the dawn and dusk hours. That would be your optimal feeding times until you figure them out.

I highly recommend that you go for a diet of super(morio)worms and mealworms; axing out crickets all together. Their just a pain to keep, when you can get alternatives for the leo's.

My anoles, on the other hand, cant take worms so I have to feed them crickets.

There is a great informational sticky thread here; http://www.leopardgeckoforum.com/t303-nutritional-values-and-feeder-insects

with lots of info about feeders, including crickets. You should take a read and maybe think about an alternative to crickets thumbs up
