    My girl just threw up a bunch of mealworms, re-ate some :\

    I just got done feeding my older girl Nyx, and proceeded to feed my other gecko. I look over when I'm done after I hear this weird wet sound, and I see a knot of the mealworms that she just ate. Then after a little bit, Nyx started licking and re-eating a few of the worms. I doubt that she is...

    My little girl doesn't seem happy :(

    Over the past week, I've been noticing some behavioral differences in my older leo, Nyx. Lately she's been desperately trying to escape her enclosure; climbing up the glass, climbing on the decor to get herself higher up, and she even made a daring leap from a basking platform as if that would...

    Clay hides?

    So I was thinking about getting some new hides since one of my leos is starting to outgrow some of her old ones. I had the idea of sculpting some hides myself out of a water-based clay, which can dry without the use of a kiln, and I figured would make some decent dry hides. The clay itself is...

    New Gecko!!

    So today I went and rescued another gecko from the evil clutches of Petsmart, hopefully this one will grow up nice and healthy like my female. I absolutely fell in love with the white zig zag down the back. Anyways here's a few pics: I don't know is lighting is playing tricks on me or not...

    Testing temperament?

    So I know there are a lot of opinions about keeping more than one leo in the same tank; some have no problems, some say one gecko may end up being picked on or killed, etc. Anyways, long story short I really want to get another leo, specifically a female since the one I have right now is also...

    Is this close to full size?

    Hey guys this is Nyx, my very first leo. I've had her for about two months now, and according to the guesstimation made by the people at Petsmart where I got her--although I doubt their accuracy--she should be about 5-6 months old. A couple of nights ago, Nyx finally became brave enough to climb...

    Can anyone guesstimate an age?

    Hey guys, this is my very first leo, her name is Nyx. Picked her up from Petsmart almost 2 months ago and has been happy, healthy, and friggin' adorable! Was noticing that she's starting to lose the grey stripes that baby leos are born with and is developing more black speckles. I was wondering...

    How is my setup?

    It's been a little over two weeks since I got my gecko, and I think I've finally got the tank almost fully furnished, but what do you guys think? I know I need to get another thermometer so I can keep an eye on a more accurate gradient, and I will get one ASAP; however, the midpoint reading...

    Feeding portions and schedule

    So I recently bought my first gecko a few days ago, 3-4 months old, and was able to get him to eat the second night--which I personally thought was a miracle because I usually have stubborn luck with pets. I know it's still trying to settle into its new home, and is usually asleep most of the...

    Names, names, names....

    Day 4 with this baby leopard gecko, and I have yet to come up with a name...and everyone keeps pestering me about it every time I share new pictures. Unfortunately it too young to tell its gender, and I'm having a very hard time finding unisex names that don't sound silly or stupid. It's my...

    Hand Sanitizer?

    Had a question about how to keep germs from spreading to my gecko and vice versa. It will be a while before I start handling my gecko because I recently bought him, and is only 3-4 months. However, I'm also considering germs that might spread from handling things in the tank, like the water dish...

    Morph This Little Baby?

    Hello, I recently got this little gecko at PetSmart this past Friday, found him curled up and napping with a few of his tankmates. I was told it's about 3-4 months old, and it's been very active at night, and successfully started eating mealworms and calcium dust coated crickets like a little...
