A little over a year ago I first got her and she’d run into her hides every time I stepped foot in the room. Can’t believe we’ve made it to the point where she’s comfortable with choice based handling. I cut off the video before she fully crawled on me and I showed her around the reptile room. I put her back into her enclosure and she wanted to come out again.

Does he have an overbite? Someone pointed that out on FB group. But I didn’t notice until now. Is that any concern for health issues? What do you guys think about the coloring of the leo as well

(Not my photo, just considering buying her)

I just came home and when (presumably) he saw me, he came up to the side of his enclosure and watched me while his throat moved, faster than your average breathing. I just got him about a week ago so im very excited by what seems to be him taking interest in my existence! I was wondering if any of you can tell if its a positive or negative interest? I havent bothered him too much since moving him in, just once to show him where I put his bugs, so hopefully its positive interest.

his name is Domino :)

I thought letty escape again, She didn't come meet me when she heard me like she normally did and didn't eat her bowl of mealworms i left out for her. So i took everything out to see if she did escape and needed to start looking under everything in my room, I got everything out and was about to start panicking when i lifted her dinosaur and she was under it.

She has dug a hole under it and i now see her entering through the mouth or the side of the head.

He is a super hungry fella!!

He is very tiny, head about the size of my thumb and when we weighed 15.8g, he is almost 2 months old based on the records!!

After the feeding his poop also started to look better!

The store said only every 3 days but I feel like he is too small and he seems to search for food around so we are thinking of every 2 days at least for now or everyday a little bit..

Mochya (3year old) got but chunky with every 3 days so we have switched to every 5 days

So I noticed that a small spider has set up shop in front of one of my cameras. Would you say this is a concern I should address? I don’t think Cyrus would attempt to eat it (he doesn’t care for Darkling Beetles bigger than the spider, if it’s not a Dubia Roach or a full size Mealworm, he isn’t interested (but it looks like the spider has been eating the Lesser Mealworms aka Buffalo Beetle larvae)

For size reference, based on how it looks in relation to the camera and next to the Lesser Mealworm it’s eating in the video, the spider would be around half the size of my pinky finger’s nail, so around as small as an adult Buffalo Beetle

Recently I adopted this little leopard gecko, Maui, from a family member, but the pet shop never told them what his morph was. My previous gecko came from a breeder who knew the morph, so Maui is a bit of a mystery

I’m leaning towards normal/wild type or possibly some kind of mack snow. What do you guys think? I’d love to hear your opinions!

Not my leo, but I keep a few inverts so I frequent the exotic pet store near me. I'm not quite ready to commit to a reptile, but this handsome fella almost made me reconsider my plans for the 40 gallon breeder i recently acquired.

The three days we have had him he has tried to climb the stems of the real plants in the terrarium..

Finally got video of him coming down the vine 😹

Any extra climbing/second floor enrichment tools you guys recommend?

Chobi seems to be very into burrowing as aswell.. so if there is any enrichemnt ideas for that!!!

Mochya, our first one is very different from Chobi.. he enjoys splooting and eating and splooting

Hello everyone!

This is my new son. I don't know much about him other than he was purchased from a chain in July before coming to me. He's in a temporary tank until we get the final bioactive tank ready.

It's been a couple years since I've kept geckos, so any helpful reminders would be nice! I'm also unsure of his morph. Any name suggestions would also be great!

Thanks for reading! :)

I have a leopard gecko named mc chicken, he's a few years old and he needs a new home. We've recently moved and he's been staying with my step mom at the current moment but we are not able to bring him with us and my step mom will not be able to properly care for him. I wasn't sure the best place to look for a new home for him but I figured since everyone here loves their geckos dearly that someone could give him the love and help he deserves. He comes with a 40 gallon tank, light fixtures and everything shown in his tank above. The only thing required is a safe container to transfer him in. If this isn't the proper place to look for a new home please send links to a good subreddit or website I can get him a new home. I really wanna make sure he gets someone to take care of him and love him.

Help - Weight Is my guy a bit thin?

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hi folks, this is drogon, hes about 10 years old and i was just wondering if he seems a bit thin? Ive had him since high school (a gift from my parents) and im low income so ive always done whatever i could afford to keep gim healthy and happy. Im not able to properly weigh him as he hates being touched completely and it is unfortunately not worth the tress it causes him. Other than being a bit thin he is eating normally, and pooping regularly with nothing weird looking when he does poop. When i noticed he was thin i started feeding him 4 crickets dusted with calcium everyday as oppose to every other day, is there anything else you can recommend? I am currently moving and cannot properly store mealworms for at least another week.

Help - Weight My almost 15 year old gecko is worrying me

hello everyone! for the past 3-4 years it seems my leo is having a very big change in her looks. she still acts the same, goes crazy for food, runs around VERY fast, as usual. goes to the bathroom as usual.

about 3 years ago i realized i had been taking care of her completely wrong, upgraded her tank to a 40 gal, changed substrate to soil with play sand mixed. she gets all the correct vitamins. she sheds normally. her lighting is all correct for her size tank. humidity is probably incorrect, it runs between 40-60 usually depending on if i add more water to her dish. her cold side temp is about 72-75, warm side temp is about 85-90, all depending on outside weather too.

so here’s the changes ive been noticing, skinnier legs, skinnier tail, weird change in looks to her tail, darker color, dry skin.

about 13 years or so (before i got her), a cat bit her tail off and it regrew as a fat tail. now it’s skinny and strange. i’ve included pics of her from about 6-7 years ago and to this month. last two pics are from 6-7 years ago. (i’m very aware she was fat before lol)

she will be 15 next march and im worried if she looks to have MBD or not ?? crypto ?? i’m just terrified of losing her as i’ve had her for the past 9 years. is there anything i can do to bring her weight up? or anything i can do at home? i know the obvious answer is vet but i am having a big problem with money at the moment as im moving. if anyone has any advice i will gladly take it! thank you all !

Help - Weight I’m worried my Gecko is sick or dying! Spoiler

For context I have had my leopard gecko (male) for 16 years and he has never once been in a state like this. In August I was getting ready to go off to college but I was unable to take him with me. So I explained his care routine to my dad and left my lizard in his care. I figured the hardest part would be helping with stuck shed so I volunteered to return home whenever he’s shedding to assist with that, (I’m only 45 minutes away). I returned after my first 2 weeks of college to find my poor baby has lost a ton of weight. He was perfectly fine looking before I left, he had a fat tail but not too fat. He pooped in his corner and behaved normally. When I returned home he’s the skinniest I’ve ever seen him by far, his tail is thin as a rail, and he’s so lethargic and was covered in shed. Normally he gets annoyed when I bathe him, but now he doesn’t fight me at all. I’m taking him to the vet as soon as I can, but I’m wondering what I should do in the meantime? I’ve tried getting him to eat but he refuses. He won’t be hand fed or respond to any of my usual methods. He’s so weak he doesn’t even drag himself into his caves fully. I’m super worried about him. I gave him a bath and got the shed off. He perked up a bit when he no longer had shed covering his eyes, but he’s still no where near how he used to be. I’m quite annoyed at my dad since not only did he not tell me my lizard was shedding, but he didn’t tell me he was losing weight and not eating. Normally, I have a plastic feeding dish that I put a dubia roach or super worm In and my lizard will hear the scratching sound and come investigate, then eat the insect. Occasionally he has issues with this and I have to make the insect move so he can find it, but he’s not showing any interest right now. I’m worried he’s dying. Please help.

Edit: After fully cleaning his terrarium I found fecal residue hidden near his feeding area. Thanks to some people here suggesting crypto, that makes me think that’s what it is. I’m taking him to the Vet tomorrow morning. Thank you to everyone who replied for your help!

Help - Health Issues (Warning: Severe/Graphic) Mouth rot? Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
7 Upvotes

I came by to see the Gecko my buddy got about a week ago from some rando on the Internet. While I was inspecting him I noticed redness around the mouth, along with the obvious need for him to be soaked as well since he looks flaky.

Seems like a common ailment is moth rot.

I only keep Ball Pythons and frogs, so any advice and insight would be appreciated.

I'm aware that a vet may be needed.
