Hi everyone! I recently had a 40 gallon breeder tank open up in my pet room and I’ve been trying to decide what to do with it since I don’t want to bring any new animals home at the moment. I decided that I’m going to upgrade my 2 year old leopard gecko from his 18x24 exo terra! Ive been...

Thanks for the information everyone! I finally got some good pictures of his full body, it definitely doesn’t seem like stick tail so that’s good. (Also, I realized that in the pictures it sort of looks like he has stuck shed but that’s just the natural coloring of his legs :) )

Hello! I’ve had my african fat tailed gecko since February of this year, he is a subadult. He lives in a 20 gallon long tank with an 11 x 17 ultratherm heat mat (set to 90 degrees with a thermostat), he has eco earth as substrate, 3 hides (cool, humid, and warm) and some artificial plants. The...

Hello! I am going to upgrade my AFT from his current 10 gallon tank to a 20 gallon long. On my leopard geckos 20 L I use an ultratherm 11 x 17 but the place I got it from no longer carries them and shipping is expensive for the other websites I’ve checked that have them in stock. The company...

Hello! I am a new owner of 1 male African fat tailed gecko, right now he is in a 10 gallon aquarium with paper towel substrate, 2 hides (1 warm and 1 cold/humid), some wood for climbing, a water dish, and a dish with supplemental calium without D3. I have a few questions on their care that I’d...

Hello! So far I’ve had 2 different substrates for my leopard gecko: paper towels which I hate the look of, and reptile carpet which she got her teeth and claws stuck in so I took it out. I want to switch to tile but I have a few questions. -How would I set up the heat mat? I’ve heard that...

Hello! I’ve been looking into keeping mourning geckos and I have a couple questions. 1) Would a mourning gecko be happy by itself? I’m not interested in breeding them (although they do reproduce on their own), but I’ve heard that they’ll only lay eggs with other geckos present, is that true? 2)...

Thanks for the reply! I haven’t been able to definitely sex her but I’m just in the habit of calling them a she but I’ll check again as soon as I can. Also yes, that is the feeding schedule she is on, hopefully these pictures attach!

Hello! I have a young leopard gecko (I unfortunately do not know the age) who has been growing steadily for a few months now. When I got her she weighed about 15 grams and now she weighs 35! I’ve been following a wonderful feeding schedule that was recommended to me on this forum where she is...

Hello again! Right now my leopard gecko is in a 20 gallon long set up with paper towels, 3 fake naturalistic hides, 2 water dishes and 2 plants she can climb around/hide in. I want to make her cage a lot more interesting and enriching for her though! I’m still researching loose substrate (it...

Hi again! I wasn’t sure what category to put this post under so I apologize if it belongs somewhere else. I was finally able to weigh my new leopard gecko (as accurately as I could) and she weighs around 17-20 grams. I was wondering if anyone could give me a rough estimate on her age? Right now...

I recently got my first ever leopard gecko named Coda and I couldn’t be more happy with her! My only issue is- crickets. I decided to go with crickets as a staple diet because they are cheap and readily available, it seems like the best option for someone with only one gecko. Ever since the...

Hello! I have a quick question: So today I got a new filter for one of my aquariums which sits right by my leopard gecko tank. The air pump on the filter makes a buzzing sound so I wrapped it up in a towel to dampen it but you can still hear it. Will this stress out my gecko any?

I finally got my leopard gecko! I got Coda from a knowledgeable reptile store in my area. I am guessing he/she is around 4 months but once they are settled in I will get the exact weight! Coda has been settling in very nicely, I’m so glad I was able to find a healthy leopard gecko to bring home! :)

Here is the heat mat with a tape measure!
