Just pull hard! Aliza

Hoping for the best for the egg. Your climate is probably the best environment for the egg. Good luck. Aliza

In all honesty, your best bet for this egg hatching is to put it back outside. Gold dust day geckos glue their eggs to something, but maybe if you put it in the crotch of a tree it will be OK. Otherwise, if you put it in a moist container with perlite as a substrate in a place in your house...

Welcome back! What are your geckos of choice? Aliza

Nice looking geckos. Aliza

Here is some information about feeding the feeders so the geckos can get the best nutritional benefit (based on my own experiences): I no longer use mealworms because I developed a respiratory reaction to the mealworm skin casts which blow around a lot. Currently I'm using superworms and...

Congrats on your gecko and welcome. The cage size is fine. Are you heating from above with a light or from below with a heat mat? I ask because there isn't much difference between the hot side and the cool side. Ideally ground temperatures on the hot side are closer to 33C, but what you have...

Do you know what it was eating before you got it? Where did you get it from? Sometimes they do need a few days to get used to a new place. Aliza

Welcome! Nice looking gargoyle. Aliza

I think he's just hungry! My 17 year old crested gecko, Spencer, has been biting me more lately for reasons I don't know. Aliza

Great questions! I will give short answers and it's likely that Elizabeth will come on and give long answers. Get rid of the lights. You don't need them as long as there's ambient light in the room and it only increases the heat and dries out the air. Same with the CHE. Unless you keep your...

I don't think it will be a problem but I don't know that he'll eat it. Maybe he thought your fingers were really big worms. Aliza

I'll let Elizabeth give you all the feeding details. I just wanted to let you know that I had a gecko that escaped as a hatchling and I found her after 2 YEARS! She did well with being rehydrated and fed. I'd still have her but she was a victim of my household crypto plague. Aliza

I don't see anything wrong with his tail. Geckos can have some color changes and these orange spots are well within the norm. Some geckos have very orange tails. He's fine. Aliza

Since the leopard gecko is terrestrial, the 12" height should be fine. Aliza

Does the vet feel they can amputate the tail? Geckos drop their tails anyway without much consequence. Of course, the cancer could be other places as well . . . Aliza

I would call it a hypo since it has fewer than 10 body spots. Aliza

I would call this gecko aberrant (broken bands on the body but not on the tail), hypo (fewer than 10 spots). If it loses all its spots on the body, it will be a super hypo. Aliza

I've had beardies (usually 1 at a time) for the last 15 years or so. The biggest thing I didn't know before I got my first one is that female beardies, even if they haven't ever been with a male, often lay eggs. A lot of eggs! I had a female for about 5 years and in the spring and summer I...

Cool! Thanks for sharing. I'm jealous. Aliza
