Can anyone post a picture of what a normal leo's mouth looks like on the inside? I would take a picture of sparty's, but i can't keep her mouth open long enough to get one. I tried to find a picture myself but I couldnt, only found ones with mouth rot and they do not look similar at all. Thanks!

Hello all and great to be back on here. Every time after Sparty sheds, she usually goes a day or two without eating but does always go to the bathroom. I have gotten used to this, and have known not to worry. However, it has now been 5 days, and she still will not take food willingly. It has...

Hey guys! I know I haven't been on here in a while so I thought i'd give you an update on sparty since i've had her now for 8 months! I found out that sparty is a female, and she's been eating well and is extremely healthy. Had a few scares when she wasn't pooping for 2 or 3 days, but...

This is getting extremely annoying. Sparty will go to the bathroom and then constantly lay in it. This happens usually every other day. I'll find him either laying in it, or it will be all smashed up all over his cage (from him laying in it then moving around). Thankfully I have ceramic tiles in...

Humidity in Sparty's cage spiked up to 55% today, and was wondering if ya'll had some tips on how to get humidity down. Thanks!

Sparty is now 6 months old, and I was feeding him today and noticed that the skin on his back is very dry and looks like it's starting to crack, similar to what our skin does if it gets extremely dried out. I was kind of shocked by this, because the humidity in his cage is always around 40-50%...

Hey guys! Been a while! Sparty is doing well and growing fast, just have been busy lately and haven't had time to post on here. I still browse occasionally. Sparty is 100% healthy, he had his vet check up last week. Anyway, I feed sparty about 9 mealworms/crickets a day, yet he is ALWAYS...

I've had Sparty for about 2 months now. When I first got him, he was 4 inches. He is now 6.5 inches. Is this a normal growth rate? Seems fast to me. Thanks.

Walked into my room where sparty's cage is, and found him laying on his flat rock (temperature is about 82-86 degrees on the rock, it's a pretty big flat slate) I find him laying there often, however i walk in and see him laying there ON HIS POOP. He never poops there, and he was laying in it. I...

Hey guys, So I went to the reptile store today to pick up some crickets for Sparty, and I saw some fruits and veggies inside the cricket's tanks. They have 3 different tanks for 3 different sizes. So I asked them if/what they fed them. She responded they feed them a variety of fruits coated in a...

I've heard about Hibernation for Leopard geckos but was curious to what the positives/negatives of that are and if it is necessary. Also, how old should they be before they go into hibernation? Also another thing, my gecko will not open his mouth for me. I have tried rubbing on the sides like...

So I decided to take Sparty out to let him get some exercise. I haven't taken him out in a couple of days and he is freshly shed as of Monday, so I thought it'd be a good idea. He's hiding under his hide on the warm side and I pick him up and he is cold to the touch. I get kind of concerned so I...

I hate this new layout, anyone else agree?

My leo (2 1/2 months old) was chasing a mealworm when he suffered an injury. The Mealworm went under his basking spot rock right as he was striking, and he hit his nose on the rock. His nose ended up bleeding which I cleaned as quickly as possible with a moist papertowel. the bleeding has...

Hey guys, My gecko has had feet this color since about two days after I got him. He's shed twice, and there's no skin on them i've checked them more than 5 times and even have done the warm water bath and q-tip afterwords and nothing has come off. Maybe i'm overreacting but this just doesn't...

How do you tell if a leo is dehydrated? Is it something to be concerned about if he has a few folds between his legs or is that normal? He always has water in there and a moist hide which I always keep pretty moist. His tank humidity is always kept between 30-40% as well

Thought i'd post for adorable-ness My baby sparty snoozing in his moist hide

Hey guys, Just curious if a leo that constantly switches where he poops is something to be concerned with? One day he'll poop on the right side of the cage, the next day he'll poop on the left. He'll stay there for a few days then back to the right side.

I've had my exo terra heat matt for 2 weeks and it already stopped working. Woke up this morning and checked the temps like I always do and it was down to 75 on the warm side and 60 on the cool side. Thank god I have a 75 watt heat bulb that I could put in to basically save Sparty's life. Gave...

Recently added a new hide making 3 full cover hides and 1 hide which is under a slate rock as well. One is on the cool side, the moist hide is in the middle (more on the warm side) and the other is all the way on the warm side by the hotspot Added this hide 3 days ago, and the gecko is always...
