So my baby leopard gecko hasn't eaten in 2 days (all his crickets are still in the tank, he shows no interest) and now he isn't moving right. I tried to get him to walk and it is almost as if he can't hold the front half of his body up. He kinda drags himself along. And he is usually a very...

So I recently got an undertank heater (about a month ago) for my leo. He used to have just a heat lamp which kept his tank around 85 degrees. I know that a heat lamp is not a proper way to heat a leo's enclosure and that 85 isn't really warm enough either. I didn't know that before though...

I recently bought an undertank heater (I had been using a heat lamp up until now, I know that is not the proper way to heat leo's, however I did'nt know that till recently). Anyway, I have the UTH set up now along with a thermometer with a probe. But the thermometer only reads high 70's on the...

So my female gecko shed last night and did not eat all of her skin. She left about one arm worth of skin. I am just wondering if anyone has ever seen that before. Every time she has shed in the past she has never left any of it. Is it normal for them to sometimes leave some skin un-eaten?

Hey all, I am looking to improve my 2 leo's enclosure but nee some idea on what I could do that wouldn't cost me a million dollars. Both tanks are 10 gallon, but near the end of winter I will be moving my female adult to a 20 gallon long. I think she will be happier with more room to move...

So my baby leopard gecko is shedding, he has been working on it for the past few hours. I don't know if it is normal for it to take this long. I don't remember it ever taking this long before. Anyway, my problem is this. He has shed stuck on his face and has had it there for about an hour. I...

So this is a picture of my gecko Stitch when I first got him. He is an adult now but I am wondering how old you think he was when I first got him. The pictures are from the day I brought him home.

I keep reading everyone suggesting different ways to set-up the tank. Is anyone willing to post a picture of their set-up/s? I would be interested in seeing how other people have set-up heir tanks. It would also be a good way for other people to get ideas on how to set-up their own tanks.

In your experience, have you noticed a difference in the temperament of male leos compared to female leos? Like has anyone ever noticed if male leopard geckos are more jumpy/active than females, or vise versa? I know that as juvies, leopard geckos can be a bit more jumpy than adults but I am...

I know there are multiple posts on calcium for leopard geckos, but I just want to make sure of something. All of the calcium I found at Petsmart says to shake the crickets in it before feeding. But I would like to be able to put a small dish of calcium in the tank as well. Am I correct that if...

So I got my new gecko last Friday night and I don't know exactly how old he/she is. I am including a few pictures to see if anyone can help me figure out his/her age. I also want to know if he/she is male or female but I cant tell yet. How old is it usually before you can determine the sex? I...

I just got a new gecko Friday night and he/she is very jumpy. Every time I walk into the room he jumps around and runs into his hide. I'm really hoping that it is because he is still getting used to his new home. I really want to get him used to being around me and being held. My other gecko was...

I just got a new leopard gecko tonight! I'm so excited. He/she is adorable and I can't wait to see him/her grow! The current name is Maybe, however that will change when I can sex it or till I figure out a name. Hoping for a male, but we'll see what happens. I'm adding a picture to introduce...

Would a Jungle Albino gecko or a Hypo mack snow gecko have bold patterns as it gets older? I am looking for a gecko to breed with mine but I want a gecko with bold colors and patterns. Does anyone know about those two morphs? Thanks
