When I approached my geckos enclosure this afternoon, he exited his hide to greet me. At this time, I was flattening out his mulch substrate and sifting it around. I noticed that this movement had caught his attention, and so I pulled out his feeding tweezers and started moving them around the...

I agree, however you should probably just monitor him as a precaution, and make sure he shows no signs of illness and the lump doesn't grow.

I just found either vomit, or diarrhea in Arnies enclosure. I am not sure which, but isn't that a sign of illness? Correct me if I am wrong, but I think I might try to take him to a vet soon.

Also (sorry), one last thing. Should I be leaving out vitamin powder for him (repashy brand)? Without the crickets, aside from vitamin D3 (from my heat lamp) Arnie would not be receiving much nutrients.

Okay, this helps a lot. Thank you!

Arnies tail has started shrinking slightly, and it has now been 1.5 weeks without any food. Acpart, you were saying that you have had leopard geckos go the whole winter without food? I thought that geckos could only survive not much more than two weeks. Many people are saying not to worry about...

Do NOT use sand as a substrate. It can cause serious damage to their lungs. However, I have been using cypress mulch and sphagnum moss, which has been working well for me. Otherwise, if a moveable substrate is not desired, reptile carpets also are good, and a lot easier to feed geckos on, as the...

I am sorry if anyone reading this has already answered any of my questions, but I am inexperienced with geckos and get concerned over pretty much anything that goes wrong. My african fat tailed gecko, Arnie, last shed about 12 days ago. A couple days later, he ate two crickets, and then only one...

I had started dusting Arnie's prey in thinner coats, and also gave him a couple warm baths and belly rubs for the constipation. He is now doing much better, and fortunately a vet visit wasn't necessary. Thank you so much for the help! Here are a few photos of him:

Arnie is 2 years old (I have only had him about 3 months). And thank you so much for the feedback! I am going to try less frequent multivitamin dusting, and see how he does with that.

I feed him Repashy calcium plus, and use it in every feeding (4-6 crickets every other day. He also gets a total of 6 dubias a month.)

My gecko Arnie has been off and on pale (one day pale, the next fine, then pale after that), and he has also had some trouble with his aim when hunting. He has been missing more frequently, seems to be kind of wobbly (however he doesn't have any issue chewing), has been squinting his eyes...

Wow, they look very cute. Have you ever gotten bitten? I have heard that tokay geckos are very agressive.

You could have a fat tailed gecko, leopard gecko, crested gecko, and possibly a hognose snake, although more space is recomended for hognoses

the white and brown one is a mossy leaf tailed gecko

Looks like a day gecko, madagascar girdled lizard, and madagascar ground gecko. Can't ID the brown and white one though.

Not eating for the first few days is normal, as long as it doesn't start to show in the gecko's overall health. Make sure it doesn't get too thin.

I use a vitamin powder from Repashy brand
