I already answered this question, but I would also like to know how you have half a cat??
EDIT** I would also like to add, that contrary to some individuals way of thinking:
1) I do not consider anyone who properly cares for their animals a "hoarder", regardless of how many you have. For instance, would you call someone who has 50 cows a hoarder? No, they are called farmers, and it is ok for them.
2) You can have reptiles AND cats in the same environment, as long as you do it properly. I have many of both. If one were to read the previous question, the geckos that were killed before were wild geckos caught by the cats.
Also, good for you for keeping your 1/2 a cat!!!

OK here is the real deal if your keeping a gecko you caught wild, people on here have an over dramatic tendency to them,
its a wild gecko so your environment suits its habitat, get an aquarium with a screen top put some dirt in the bottom, give it something to hide in and feed it crickets smaller than its head, put a small something in there to hold water, i used to use the lid of a jar, aside from that feed it once a week don't let the jar lid go dry, don't put the tank in a window sill, your all set,
on a side note every couple of night go by your porch like and catch him a snack something with different nutrients than a cricket, and don't worry about the alarmists on here, you caught this guy around your house so that means everything he needs is around your house hes suited to your climate, and the chemicals in your dirt and he usually eat bugs around your porch light

First, I need to know what kind of Gecko it is. I can help a little bit, but would be of better assistance to you if I knew. However, most Geckos like climbing/crawling into spots where they feel secure so provide plenty of foliage both on the ground and aloft. They also enjoy woody hideout's on the ground. it provide's both a secure place to hide and sleep, but help's when they shed skid as well. A small rock pond, heat lamp for most, not all..., and will most likely enjoy eating cricket's. There's also a powdery vitamine you can coat your cricket's with, dead or alive, that will provide them with just a little more neutrition. I also found misting the terrarium to provide moisture help's with their shedding as well. Some moss for bedding, woodchips even, bring's a bit of Nature into their new home. Last but not least, don't go buying a mess of cricket's and throw them in. Start off with a few at a time usually a dozen or so and observe how many he/she will consume. Too many cricket's lead's to dead cricket's, which could lead to a smelly terr. Instead, ceep your cricket's in a small plastic see-through container, cardboard/papertowel roll's/egg carton's, and this cricket jelly you can purchase. They drink from it, less mess. For food, you can give them a pice of a potato, apple, veggie's/fruit's etc. This way you can save yourself from frequent trip's to the pet store, and, I've been successful with breeding cricket's this way as well. Oh, depending on size, I'ld go with a 10-20 gal tank,terrarium. Hope this help's.

If you found a gecko , let it go outside of the home, more likely its a house gecko and not coming from a breeder its is going to be loaded with parasites. Most wild geckos will not last very long in captivity do it a favor and let it go.

Gecko's as house pets live in aquariums! Get a somewhat sturdy one with a wire mesh lid that locks down on all four sides. They sell really strong ones for snakes, and I'm sure anything that could keep a twenty pound snake "in" could surely keep all 52 and a half cats "out"!

Well, I suggest just letting it go, and the gecko will take care of itself. If you're determined to keep it, then you first need to find out its breed, and take it from there. Some geckos are herbivores, and some are carnivores, some spend their days in trees, some live at ground level. We really need more info concerning breed to help you.

First of all.... 1/2 a cat? Do you own a cat-dog?
Anyhooo.... I would probably give it to someone that didn't have an environment that is so dangerous to a small reptile like a gecko. Didn't you learn your lesson the first couple of gecko deaths that you probably not fit enough to house small reptiles?
I would give it to someone that is more aware of what they have and how to keep them separated and safe rather than your mini Noahs Ark/cat and a half sanctuary.
Good Luck.
Peace.
Mike

before everything, please be careful. you need to basically remember to are growing to be sufficient food to furnish you capability for existence. The greater total meals you may get as against processed, packaged, oftentimes greater fat meals. decide for grilled meats with seasonings and clean end result and vegetables. stay faraway from sauces, gravies and dressings. Iceberg lettuce isn't nutritious, attempt the darker eco-friendly leafs for salads. blend olive oil (good fat needed to help your physique and take in food) with vinegar or purple wine vinegar for a salad dressing. shop up the taekwando. in case you could carry out a little mild weight education as that facilitates with weightloss and firming of muscle groups. A lb. of muscle burns 9X greater energy than a lb of fat. good success and look after your self.

hoarder.
Let the gecko go. Take it out off your property away from your hoard of cats and set it free.
How to care for it depends on what type it is.
