well if it is a juvenile then you are gonna have to wait a while for them to grow, obviously. and you also have to find out what gender they are before trying to breed them

Hi everyone.
I am new to Geckos and have always been keen to adopt one and be committed. I have a big glass space for the gecko and some set ups are already in my mind. However I am not sure yet because I haven't get myself a Gecko yet. I am considering of the Tokay gecko but as Ive read the threads, Tokays are more of a display pet and enjoy but not geckos that you could handle it every time. Tokay Geckos look so attractive and popular amongst the breeds. Having that all said, I am considering Tokay or the Leopard Gecko. Any advices? I want to make sure they live and happy being under my care.
Very much appreciated for sharing your thoughts and experience with me..

Default Help, Gecko won't eat

I have a leapord gecko who is almost 2 years old. In July, he was shedding and did not shed completely. We kept thinking that he would complete the process and begin eating again. In August, he began to peel again and the process was not complete. It appeared at this time that the top part of his head still had a layer of skin and that perhaps he could not see because of the skin. I tried to use tweezers to peel off the skin and it did look like his eye was opened up, so it seemed he was going to be ok. But still he did not eat and a day or two later he began to peel again. It seems that he is in a weakened state and does not want to eat and I'm still not sure if all the skin has peeled off around his mouth or his eyes. Is there something I can feed him that will help? I don't think he has eaten in since July and I'm afaid he won't make it if I don't do something. Help!!!

Goliath worms are great for gravid females. granted you don't want to give them too many fattening worms and it's good to mainly feed them crickets and meal worms, but feeding them goliath worms every few weeks can make it easier for them to lay their eggs. I've occasionally had to isolate females from other females when they get close to laying a clutch because, well, let's just say the claws come out at feeding time and sometimes one will get stressed. Stress can lead to being egg bound.

The real problem is he can't see! I don't event think he has eyes. I can't tell because the jerk that had him just let him suffer and his eyes are all crusted over with this green hard crust and he can't close them!!!! He has a vets visit coming up on monday but I'm wondering if there is anything else i can do. I have snakes and have had them for many years but never a lizard, so Im not sure what I can be doing for him.
He has a vitiam mixture that i'm mixing with water and drop watering him in my hand. I have force feed him to crickets and he has some mealworms in his bowl. But he can't see to find them and I'm wondering if something might be wrong with his sense of smell as well.
Can anyone help me to ease this little guys suffering????
...that very bad person is one EVIL individual. What he/she did to this little guy is just plain inhuman!

Hi! It sounds like you know about eggs and egg laying. I lifted my large hide in my 55 gallon tank to check on my two snow spotted Leopards (purchased on 1/22/12). They look fine; however, the one looks like it swallowed a ping pong ball! Now, the guy I purchased these beauties from told me they were male and female. When the female is going to lay a clutch of eggs does she get really big like that?? I want to look and see if this one is the female; however, I do NOT want to stress her. She is big! They may be supers, as they do have some weight to them. Any suggestions? thanks...kimo
