How many hornworms will an adult Leo eat. How often?

My Vastra is very challenged, I believe, visually. She strikes toward motion but misses each time. After a couple tries she loses interest. I try to tong feed, sometimes I am lucky, if I pull it right in front of her. Most of the time she ignores it and seems irritated or she just freezes and...

So do you think an 11 month old female Leo that is about 8 inches long and has a healthy build and fat tail, (which is slimming down some)who weighs 53 gms (she was 55) is okay eating one big bug every other to every three days? After she gets one bug she loses interest like she doesn't want...

Has anyone had trouble with feeding Dubia's. They get very still and kinda hunker down to where my Leo has trouble getting hold of them. She has some feeding difficulty anyway with strikes and misses. I believe she may have some vision problems. Any suggestions. I have tried hand feeding. She...

My son has a 14 year old female red eared slider turtle that is solitary and she lays eggs about three times a year. I wondered if my solitary female Leo would lay unfertilized eggs? Is this something I need to watch for?

I was at PetSmart the other day and the gal told me that they feed their leopard geckos a prepared food that is not live for everyday maintenance. Have any of you heard of a food that you can leave in the tank that they would tolerate. I saw there were small granules multi colored I forget the...

I have been using crickets to feed my leopard gecko. I buy about 36 crickets a week from Petsmart. I keep them in a small creature keeper using the egg crate they come with and feed Flukers orange feeder pieces and Flukers high calcium cricket diet. This week over 24 crickets died within 3 days...

what is your opinion of taking leopard geckos outside on small Halter leashes for exercise?

My gecko is about 8 or 9 months old and weighs 50g. Lately she has decreased her appetite. She used to eat 4 big crickets every day. give or take one. Now she is down to two, sometimes three if I encourage her and on some days, like today she has no interest at all. She is fat and happy...

I turned my tank over today and looked at the uth I have there. It covers almost a third of my tank all the way over to the left side of my tank under my warm hide. I looked up the sizes and it must be a small 6 by eight. Wish I had bought a little bigger one. Well I decided to turn it to be...
