Pangea Gecko Diet with Watermelon
Since introducing the Pangea Gecko Diet with Watermelon™ in 2013, it has been regarded as one of the most popular crested gecko diets. It is great for gargoyle geckos, New Caledonian giant geckos, mossy prehensile-tailed geckos (chahoua), day geckos, and all other fruit eating geckos. The diet has a wonderful watermelon aroma when mixed!

Gecko Pantry's Guide to Pangea Watermelon
Which geckos is it suitable for?
Pangea Watermelon is suitable for all frugivorous gecko species, including:
- Crested Geckos — one of the longest-standing and most trusted MRP diets for cresties
- Gargoyle Geckos — readily accepted and nutritionally complete for this species
- Chahoua Geckos — a great staple or rotation diet for mossy prehensile-tailed geckos
- Leachianus Geckos — suitable for New Caledonian Giant Geckos as part of a varied diet
- Eurydactylodes Geckos — appropriate for frugivorous Eurydactylodes species
- Sarasin's Geckos — a good MRP option for Correlophus sarasinorum
It is a complete MRP (Meal Replacement Powder) suitable for all life stages across these species.
What does it taste like?
Fresh, light watermelon — one of the most refreshing flavours in the Pangea range. Its high fruit content (over 60%) makes it very palatable, and it produces an enthusiastic feeding response in most geckos.
How often should you feed it?
- Juveniles & breeding adults: daily, or alternate with live food
- Maintenance adults: 3–5 times per week
- Always remove uneaten food after 24–48 hours
Watermelon vs Papaya — what's the difference?
Both are nutritionally similar complete diets. Watermelon has a slightly lower fat content (4.2% vs 4.5%) and a lighter, fresher flavour profile. Papaya is richer and more intense. Many keepers rotate both to provide variety and keep geckos engaged with their food.
Can you alternate it with other Pangea diets?
Yes — Pangea Watermelon can be rotated freely with any other Pangea Complete Gecko Diet. Rotating flavours is recommended to encourage a varied diet and prevent food boredom.
What size should I buy?
- 2oz — ideal for trying a new flavour or single-gecko households
- 8oz — great for 2–4 geckos or regular feeders
- 16oz — best value for breeders or multi-gecko setups
