Roaches, to me, seem to be more nutritious and easier to care for then crickets. Shes just about 9 inches long.

Ok so I just got back from my first year in college and since I could not bring my gecko into the dorm my mother had to care for it. My leopard gecko was around 75 grams at around christmas time and was healthy and at a good weight. I wasn't able to visit but about one time after that and my mom...

So for the last two weeks after switching to dubia roaches my gecko only seems to poop one large defecation seems like every saturday night. She still has a voracious appetite and the feces looks healthy but I was just wondering if anyone has any opinions on this matter. I have talked to my...

So my gecko shed about two days ago and it seems that a very small piece of shed is stuck on the bottom corner of her eyelid. I am keeping a moist paper towel in her warm hide and trying to work on it with a q-tip with saline solution on it but it doesn't seem to be working. I don't believe it...

So I got bored over my Christmas break and decided to get creative and make my leopard gecko a new hide. Whether or not she really uses it doesn't really matter I just wanted to stay busy. I need a little help though and your suggestions are really needed. Here are some pictures. Looking...

So occasionally after feeding my gecko she'll sort of have a little spasm. It's kind of like shes cringing her whole body and I was wondering what could be causing this. Both times she's done this she has eaten quite a bit so I was wondering if it was possibly caused by overeating?

Ok, so my geckos seems to be slowing down and hasnt eating for like 4 or 5 days now. This happened last year too but it seems to be earlier this year. It has gotten down in the 30s the last 2 weeks. I was just wondering who else has leopard geckos that go through this. I cant tell if she still...

Ok, so i have an extra tank its a 20 long and was looking to do something new. I was going to buy excavator clay and mold hides and stuff but the problem im having is heating it. I put a piece of repticarpet down on the hot end and then mold the clay around it so the clay isnt over the UTH or i...

ok, so i got a scale big enough for my geckos today so i weighed them. My giant was of course like 105 grams so im not worried about her weight. My other two geckos were 80 grams and 71 grams. The one that 80 doesnt look fat at all but he has the fat things under his arms. He did lose his tail...

Ok, so one of my geckos has both of his hemipenes swollen and the other one only has one that is slightly so. Both of these are males. They really don't to be bothering them. Could it be something to do with breeding or anything? they are both of mature age?

I was just curious, what would be the cross between a murphys patternless and a giant carrot head high contrast tangerine het raptor? or maybe a normal and the giant?

Ok, well im pretty new here so i figure might as well post some pics of my babies! One just a plain ole petstore gecko but hes still my origal buddy. The other is a murphy's patternless and the other is a Giant, Carrot Head Tangerine tremper het for raptor. :biggrin:

ok so after the vet visit today i got two different medications i need to give my gecko for 5 days. If i hold him firmly but not too hard and make him open his mouth and squirt it in. Will i hurt him?i dont want to hurt his jaws or anything. Will this be ok?

ok, so my gecko is pretty sick. Hes not eating and he seems kind of lazy. I think he has an eye infection because hes keeping his right eye shut most of the time. Hes not impacted because he has pooped in the last few days. The only things he will eat are waxworms (oviously since theyre liek...
