I've been a bit curious as to whether Lani is a healthy, average size. Read on a few sites that 50-85 g is healthy, so I was shocked when I put him on the scale and found that he's 140g! I weighed him five of six times just to make sure it was right, which he was not too happy about. Lani is...

My loveable lizard Lani will be three at the end of the year! I can't believe he's been in my life for this long, it seems like it wasn't long ago that he was just a timid little baby. I never expected him to have such a personality or to become as friendly as he has. You can't help but fall in...

The past few times Lani has shed, he hasn't done so in his humid hide. The humid hide is a plastic ice cream container with a hole in the side and ample amounts of wet paper towel, especially when I can tell he's about to shed. Instead, he's shed under his favorite piece of curved bark. I've...

because it gets soooo warm under the heat lamp. He also like to climb to the highest point in his tank and watch me while I'm at my computer or stare up at the ceiling. Does anyone else's leo have funny habits?

Gotta love those little leo faces :)

I've noticed some dark spots around my gecko girl's mouth lately. They first started a few weeks ago, went away, but now they're back. I did some googling and read a few sites about mouth rot. Do you think she may have it? If so, what do you recommend I do for her? Unfortunately, the nearest...

I've never actually seen Lani drink water. I know that doesn't mean much, I'm not watching her 24/7, but I'm still concerned that she isn't getting enough water. She has a humid hide that she spends most of the day in, is that enough to keep her hydrated?

Can geckos see color? Or do they have a limited color scheme/ black and white vision? Just wondering :)

For the first few weeks that I had Lani, he (or she, but for continuity's sake, let's go with he) was pretty inactive and only ate two or three crickets a day. This week, though, he's been eating like crazy! I place one cricket in front of him at a time and continue to feed him until he starts...

In the week that I've had him, this is the first time that I've actually seen Lani lay down. Do leos normally lay down to sleep, or do they kind of crouch like I usually see him do? I also think he's getting ready to shed, could that have something to do with it?

I've been keeping a small dish of mealworms in my gecko's habitat. While I haven't noticed him eating them, I've noticed that the crickets absolutely feast on them! Is this normal? Could this possibly be beneficial in a gut-loading type of way?

I got my new leopard gecko, Lani, yesterday. I keep seeing posts about tails becoming too skinny, but how skinny is too skinny? I attached a photo of Lani (I hope I did it right!), can anyone tell me if he looks alright? Thanks :)
