heres a better picture, the colors have been enhanced to better see her insides

does her belly look concerning? she had impaction issues in jan/feb of this year but has gotten back to a normal pooping schedule since then. last time she was fed was this morning and last time she pooped was tonight. I can take better pics of her underbelly if needed. I can also weigh her as...

Okay, so there will be a lot of photos in this post and hopefully I will be able to explain my concerns well. Last night, I was watching my female leopard gecko Gizmo go over to her potty area to see if she was pooping normally and I looked under the tank with a flashlight and noticed two white...

My two year old leo, Gizmo, has pretty much made this one particular sound her entire adult life. Every time I’ve caught it, it’s been at night, and it’s while she’s literally just standing there staring or lounging with her eyes closed. She’ll only do it once or twice. It doesn’t sound...

hey guys, I just wanted some second opinions on Gizmo's stool recently. I've noticed that when she poops/pees, a large puddle of liquid surrounds it. Not sure if this is normal for urate excretion or if she has diarrhea or something worse. Lately she has been eating mealworms dusted with...

hey, my gecko (who ive recently discovered is a female...i think) gizmo was licking around her vent area / where the hemipenes would be. first time ive ever seen this and ive had her for almost two years. after witnessing this, i decided to give her belly a check for multiple reasons...

ive kept some hornworms that grew too big to feed my leo because I thought it would be fun to raise them. they have all made it to the pre-pupa stage, but Ive had three die rather than doing the final shed to become the pupa. didnt have luck with using soil as substrate so I used shredded paper...

Gizmo shed last night and ever since then he's been squinting his eyes every so often and they look sort of swollen. I can't tell if his eyelids are retained. Here are some photos... sorry about my gross nails. the image with the little bunny guy in the corner is from when i first got...

yesterday i bought dubia roaches for the first time. last night and now today ive been hearing occasional grinding noises coming from the direction of the roaches and the tank, and i assumed it was just the dubias moving around or chewing cardboard or something in their little plastic box. a few...

i checked the links in the sticky but im still unsure! any help would be greatly appreciated

i recently acquired a gecko less than a year old according to the owner (maybe 6 or 7 months). Not sure how accurate this is... I will update this post with weight and length when i get the chance. I was wondering what you guys thought regarding his sex. I don't see pores but I kind of see a...

i just got him today and i already love him to death

i know that refrigerating mealworms will cause them to go dormant and not absorb nutrients etc. but how will i be able to gutload them if they're always dormant? wouldn't it just be better to keep them out of the fridge? im sure my leo will eat them all before they pupate. (also, what are your...

here it is. im using a daylight basking bulb to heat the tank. im measuring ground temps and i believe its a 10 gallon but i have to make sure. i plan on buying an UTH today and removing the overhead light and seeing how the temp goes. if theres not enough heat ill use a ceramic heater and see...

I’m setting up a tank for my future leopard gecko and I’ve been monitoring the temps all day. The hot side has stabilized around 86 degrees F and the cool side, 78 degrees F. I know this is too hot for the cool side, but idk how to establish a better gradient! Should I get a smaller dome light...
