Hi all, Current leo owner, but I've always found cresties incredibly cute. From everything I've read, their temperatures can't go above 83 F. I live in a 3rd floor apartment in Northern California, and sometimes temperatures do get up there. Do any crestie owners use cooling solutions? If...

Hello all - I had two questions about leopard gecko behavior. 1. Do leos see straight ahead, or can they only see out of the sides of their eyes? This comes up whenever I am trying to get Scooter to notice a bug - not sure what's in her line of sight! 2. Yesterday, I got into a "staring...

Normally I use tile for Scooter's cage. Recently I added paper towels to her pooping corner, in an effort to make it easier to clean and reduce the spread of bacteria. Pooping corner is on the warm side, but not in the area covered by the UTH. ...now suddenly she's lying around in the paper...

So Scooter's weight has held pretty steady, even with the reduced feeding (down to three insects 3 times a week). Lately she's been getting dubias, horn worms, or meal worms (since the meal worms are so small, I've been counting two as one). When I handle her I try to let her run around on the...

Thank you Elizabeth and Shane for your insights! As an update, I did get the adult beardie food today and will start feeding it to the dubias. I'm having trouble finding Reptivite without D3, and will likely order it online. I also picked up some calciworms to add to her diet variety (I think...

I've always assumed that Scooter was a Normal or Wild type, but she looks less spotted than the photos I see whenever I look up Wild types. Could she be considered a High Yellow? Alas, I don't know anything about her genetics!

Hi all - Attached are two pictures of Scooter. I've had her for about two months now and things seem to be going fine, but I wanted to check in about a few things. I also included her health sheet at the bottom of this post. 1. Just from appearance, does she look like she's at a healthy...

I've had Scooter for about a month now, and I'm still trying to figure out how often she needs to be fed. I'm about to go out of town and leave her in the care of a friend, so it's helpful to give him a schedule. I fed her last two days ago (Saturday). Tonight, she just had one dubia roach...

I've had Scooter for roughly a month now. Generally speaking, I've noticed that there is very little time between her eating food and subsequently pooping. Today I got her to eat a dubia roach or two for the first time (yay something other than mealworms!). I even got her to eat it dusted...

I just wanted to let anyone who is reading know that Scooter reached me (the original poster's daughter) safely in California! Here she is in her new home: I'm going to try my absolute best to be a good gecko keeper!

New gecko owner with a question! I have had Scooter, a 2 year old adult female, for about three weeks now. (She is the same leopard gecko from this post about shipping reptiles. I am happy to say that she arrived in California safely! Since I got her three weeks ago, she has shed once (which...
