When maintaining your Leopard Gecko, a light mist daily is recommended to provide hydration opportunities as well as light humidity spikes. Dew drops are readily drank by this species and will appreciate a light misting daily.

Do Leopard Geckos like to be misted with water?

Leopard geckos originate from arid or non-tropical terrain; however, they do enjoy a little misting to keep cool and content. It is recommended to mist adult geckos twice a week or when they are preparing to shed.

Do Leopard Geckos need high humidity?

Leopard geckos are desert animals, so they need a fairly dry environment to stay healthy. Ideal humidity will be between 30%-40%, which should match the humidity naturally in your home. Housing your gecko in a terrarium with a screen top or equivalent ventilation will help keep it dry.
