Leopard Gecko
Leopard Gecko is cathemeral that naturally found in the highlands of Asia and throughout Afghanistan, to the parts of northern India. It becomes the popular pet in the captivity. All species in the genus possess movable eyelids, and cannot climb up smooth surfaces as they don’t have toe pads like other geckos.
The males can reach the total length of 20-28 cm while the females measures around 18-20 cm. The hatching is observed generally of 7-10 cm. The male geckos are larger in total length and weight as compared to females. The females have the total weight approximately 50-70 grams while the males have 60-80 grams. The hatchlings have the total weight of about 2-5 grams. These geckos have the 100 teeth and each replaced every 3-4 months by new ones.
These gecko species usually prefer to live in dry grasslands and desert areas. These geckos can be found throughout Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and northwestern India. These geckos are solitary, and generally not live with other animals.
These geckos typically feed on crickets, cockroaches, king worms, mealworms, scorpions, centipedes, spiders, and beetles. The majority of captive geckos refuse to eat dead prey. Crickets can be a good option to offer them in captivity, as they can hunt them in their enclosure. When food scares, then they can use the excess fat stored in the tail. The calcium and vitamin D3 is very important for their diet.

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates
This Wherigo converts your player into a virtual version of the "Reverse Cache Box" which tells you the bearing to the cache, but not the distance. You may begin your search from any spot in the world using your Smartphone or Whereigo compatible GPS to navigate to the cache.
**As the cartridge produces whole number degrees, the triangulation is not accurate from long distances especially if the 2 readings are taken close together producing an acute angle at intersection, so don't be disheartened by a GZ that seems wrong, go near there and take more readings.**
The cartridge was created by day1976 and is available to download from the wherigo website. day1976's Open Source Reverse Wherigo .
Start up the player, find and load the cartridge. > NewGame > Find a Geocache > Answer > Enter First Code > xxxxx > Answer > Enter Second Code > xxxxx > Answer > The bearing to this Geocache is xxx degrees. This bearing is from where you are standing. It is now up to you how many times you relocate and obtain different bearings so as to triangulate the cache. The ultimate goal would be to find the cache with just one bearing reading, but for most, it would need a minimum of two bearings. Bearings are with respect to True North, so If using an OS map, allowances will have to be made, as Grid North, Magnetic North, and True North are all different!
To begin, you will have to type these two codes into your player when prompted:
jk3xa
j0v3f
It is suggested that you take the code with you on your journey. It will be needed if it becomes necessary to restart your player for any reason.
Have Fun!
