Small Pet Care part 4

Jeez I've been writing for a long time today this is probably the last post of the Small Pet Care section unless you have any questions on things I've covered or need info on the things I haven't. If so comment below and I will do my best to help you with your situation or answer your question or anything else I can do.

Other Things

Leopard Geckos

• I know that I've said this a lot but I can't stress to you enough get gecko safe things like
• Bedding/Carpeting
• ESPECIALLY cleaners
• And anything else you're putting in with your geckos
• This is similar to the last one but rinse everything you put in with your geckos
• Don't use soap!
• Make sure nothing in your gecko's cage is sharp
• If you are playing with your gecko make sure there is nothing dangerous around like
• Sharp things
• Mouse traps
• Ant poison
• Your dog or cat (You might think you know them or "No they would never!" but a gecko looks very tasty to them)
• Geckos tend to poop in one specific spot so to make your life easier you can put a piece of paper towel down then when they go you can just lift out the towel poop and all.
• Just over all be careful geckos are delicate. 
• Always think about what could happen before you do something with your gecko
• I'm sure you already know this but geckos can drop their tails so don't grab or pull them.
•  I'm sure you already know this too but geckos can carry salmonella so always just assume they do and wash your hands before eating.
• Geckos are very territorial so if you are thinking of getting 2 get 2 cages one gecko might try to hurt the other so be prepared
• If you have multiple make sure to wash your hands between handling them one might have a disease that the other doesn't

Beta Fish

• Just get a filter
• They aren't that expensive
• Most come with the tanks
• They make life so much easier
• DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EVER put 2 males together they will fight and at least 1 will probably die.
• If you want to add more fish research the fish you're getting make sure that they can 
• Live peacefully with betas
• Not scare betas
• And not nibble on the beta's fins

Caterpillars

• They don't move a whole lot so don't assume they're dead
• Research your caterpillar and make sure you have the right stuff to take care of it
• If you hold it research it make sure it can't destroy your house if you lose it.  
• Don't lose it... Gross

Meal Worms, Wax Worms and Crickets

• Just don't lose them that's disgusting
