Although mourning geckos are widely regarded as one of the easiest reptiles to keep, please note that even the easiest reptiles can be expensive and high-maintenance. If you are not prepared to purchase everything required for the health and wellbeing of your mourning geckos, this is not the pet for you.

Keep in mind that everything should be purchased and set up BEFORE you get the geckos. This will save you a lot of stress, and does your new pets a big favor, too.

We also recommend finding an experienced reptile veterinarian in your area. It’s always better to do a little bit of research when nothing’s wrong than to find yourself in a panic when your pet gets sick. Locate a vet near you in the ReptiFiles Reptile Vet Directory!
