Gargoyle Gecko Water and Hydration

Quick answer

Gargoyle geckos rarely drink from a standing water dish and instead get most of their hydration by licking misted droplets off leaves and enclosure walls. Provide a shallow dish anyway and mist consistently.

Main hydration source
Misted droplets

Signs of dehydration

Sunken eyes, loose skin that doesn't spring back, and thick or stringy saliva.
