Why is my leopard gecko out during the day?

Sleeping at night is a normal thing that pets and humans do when we’re tired. But when it comes to leopard geckos, it’s not. Leopard geckos are crepuscular, so whenever they’re up during the day and sleeping during the night, that might seem a little off for a gecko.

Don’t Make Them Wake Up Don’t do this! Instead, make sure the leopard gecko is awake before you take them outside. These reptiles have to get their sleep, and if they don’t get enough, they tend to stress out, kind of like us humans. Your gecko will be much happier that way.

What time do leopard geckos eat?

The best time to feed a gecko is in the early evening (7-9 pm) when it becomes active after its daytime snooze. Feeding can typically take 10-20 minutes – the gecko will know when to stop and will not ‘over indulge’. For some owners, this is the most rewarding part of having a leopard gecko as a pet.
