    It's been a while

    It's Dexter07 with an update about Taz. He is continues to be active and totally unfriendly. However, now he is on a food strike. No matter what I offer, he looks at it and walks the other way. I am including a recent photo of him. Taz and I have been together for almost 2 years now so we...

    Reintroduce myself and Taz

    I have not been on the forum for some time now due to work and family issues, so felt it was a good idea to say "Hi" once again. I work at a shelter and this guy came in with 6 other Leos in January 2019. He is my first and only gecko and it has been a learning experience. Taz has never been...

    Do you still think a Snow Mack?

    About 5 months ago I posted a photo of my Leo Taz. He came from an animal shelter where I work at. They labeled him as a Lavender, but here he was identified as possibly a Snow Mack. Here is my latest photo. I love him all the same, but I was just curious.

    Lazy or Not Interested?

    My Leo, Taz, eats his mealworms great. Have had him for almost a year now. He looks very healthy. However, he does not like to eat anything else that I have offered him. Taz absolutely turns his nose up at Super worms, will eat 2 or 3 crickets and leaves the rest untouched, forget roaches...

    Fat Gecko?

    He is very difficult to get a photo of. Hates being handled. This is the only pictures I have of him. However, tomorrow I will try to get better ones.

    Fat Gecko?

    My coworkers who help me care for adult, male, Taz (Leopard Gecko) have told me he is too fat? Is it possible for a gecko to be obese? I feed him mealworms every other day and substitute crickets on some occasions. Initially Taz did not eat for the first 3 weeks I had him (early August...

    Taz, Lavendar or not?

    Is this a Lavendar Leo or not? My co-workers disagree. Have had him for 9 months now.

    Update on Taz

    It's been a while since I have had an opportunity to post, so I figured it would be good to update how we are doing. Have had Taz (my adult Lavendar Leopard Gecko) for over 9 months now. Taz was a rescue turned in to the animal shelter I work at with about 8 others Leos. He has made it...

    Another Heating Question

    I am very thankful for this forum. I have had my adult Leo, Taz, for a little over one month. He is my first Leo and I am excited about him. He lives in a 20 gallon long tank in my office. Has 3 hides and a UTH for a 30 gallon tank. Taz took a while to acclimate and was slow in starting to...

    UTH plus CHE?

    I have only had Taz for 2 weeks, but am already concerned. He lives in a 20 long tank. I bought a Zoo Med UTH for 10-20 gallons and now realize it is too small to do the job. The temp is only about 72 degrees way too low. Taz spends most of his time hiding and is not eating. He is not...

    Greetings

    Just wanted to provide a quick introduction of myself. I am the new owner of a beautiful, male lavender Leopard Gecko named Taz. He was a rescue who I have lived with for almost 10 days. Since I am so new to living with geckos, I hope to learn a lot from all of the experienced people here. I...
