Hey Everyone!

It is great to find a site where everyone shares a common interest LEOS! I have just gotten into collecting and presently have eight Leos.

2 Enigma Albino Banded Snows (?) named Nelly & Chloe - live in a 20 gallon long / not good eaters.
2 Juvenile "High Yellows" (?) - live in a 10 gallon / coming along well. More yellow seen after each shed.
1 Striped Banana Snow/Blizzard (?) - "Short Tail" lives in a 10 gallon with her room mate a Yellow Raptor Hex named "Miss Piggy" (a very good eater).
2 Spotted Snow Leopards - AYLA & JONDOLAR who reside in a 55 gallon Hex. I am told this is a "mated pair".

Right now I just want to make sure they are all settled in and gaining weight. One of my worries presently is "Short Tail", as the person I bought the others from insisted I take her as well. So I am nursing her back to health. She sleeps a lot but has good body weight. Her tail is s-l-o-w-l-y regenerating. My biggest worry is Nelly & Chloe....who just don't seem to want to eat and although they are maintaining their original weights they are not getting fat and sassy. Body and tail weights are low. Tried crickets, wax worms, meal worms, fruit paste etc. but I never see them eating anything. They have ALL the basic stuff UTH, substrate, water, food, hides, room, quiet. Not sure what else to do to get them interested in food? Any suggestions? Thanks........Kimo

They need to be socialized early on, so they can get used to you.

Hi,
I'm new to the site. Have had "Lucas" (Leopard) since Aug 2011 & he had 2 homes before that. I'm trying to do everything right. I got him a 20 gal tank, the rock house, the lights (day/night) etc. The 1st several months he ate so well, meal worms, and now the last 2 mos. he doesn't eat. Took him to the Vet a month ago-said he was dehydrated-so have been soaking him in warm water at night. He still isn't eating & I'm so worried. I read the Care Guide, also have a book from Petsmart & Google all the info I can find. Yet, I see contradictions in care. Vet says he must have a UVB light / book says not necessary. Do they need a day lamp with UV or not? I'm scared & confused. Lucas is SO cool & I love him. I want him to be OK.
