Hi guys! So lately I've noticed these weird lumps developing behind Rizzo's front legs. I thought at first it was just fat deposits (she's gotten kinda fat :crackup:) but they seem to be getting bigger kind of quickly....is it time for a vet visit? They are the same size on both sides, so I...

Hello! I need some help with a substrate for my natural viv. So as you may or may not remember, I (semi) recently completed a natural viv for my leo using Zoo meds excavator clay as a substrate. I was warned about it not conducting heat well, so on the warm side I broke apart some slate...

I may be over reacting but figured I'd ask... My Rizzo hasn't pooped in like 4 or 5 days. She has eaten twice in this time and seems to have a healthy appetite. But I'm worried I haven't seen poop. I moved her to her new tank about..two weeks ago? The substrate is excavator clay - it's pretty...

Sounds stupid, but seriously. She only ever does this when I'm syringe feeding her where she will have these spasms. He whole body just kind of flinches just once, then nothing for anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute or so. It looks like hiccups! Once she starts that up, I usually quit trying...

So I’ve been doing a lot of research on the type of cleanup crew for my leopard gecko bioactive setup. There are so many options out there though that I’ve become very confused and figured I’d just ask! I need something that will be ok in the dry, but I did make a humid refuge if needed. I’d...

Hello All, I'm back with yet another gecko health question. Quick background - My gecko eats very little. She has been to the vet twice now and completed a full round of antibiotics and given a deworming treatment. Nothing has helped the eating situation. I offer her pretty much everything...

Hello! So I've been looking to redo my tank and was interested in the slate tiles everyone seems to love. The only problem is I can't find anyone who will sell me less than 10 sq ft in the small tiles or who would cut the larger tiles down to size without charging me an additional $40 for the...

The weather has warmed up here in the bay and I can see the change in activity level of my little leo, Rizzo. She has definitely gotten more feisty (in a good way! :fight:), but in the last week she has started doing a lot of tank climbing. When I got home last night I found her nearly vertical...

So I apparently wasn't paying attention or confused my feeders, because I ordered Phoenix worms that are waaaaay too small. They are like the size of a grain of rice. My leo could probably eat all 150 in one sitting and she's a notoriously light eater! Is there a way I can make them grow? Food...

Good Morning everyone, So we are back at it again. To recap my last post (it’s been buried and I don’t think anyone is reading it anymore) I’ve had my leo, Rizzo, for about two months now. After the first week or two she stopped eating. After a week of that, I took her and a poop sample to the...

Hello! So I just made last minute plans to go see family in a month and will be gone from about almost 5 days (Leaving super early on day 1 and coming back in the afternoon of day 5). The only roommate who would be willing to check up on her will be out of town as well. Has anyone ever boarded...

I think this is the right forum... I'm wondering how often an adult leo sheds. Everything I've seen so far just says juveniles shed more often than adults. But how often? I don't know the age of my leo, but she seems to shed every two weeks. Is this a lot? Tonight will be the third time I've...

Looks like my original thread didn't post or was deleted or something. Apologies if this show up twice. Anyway, I'm looking at getting a ceramic bulb for my viv as a secondary heat source. I already have a UTH, but the cold side of my tank is really cold. My room doesn't get a lot sunlight, so...

This sounds cruel until I remember that I bought them so another animal could eat them alive... Anyway, if you read my other post, you'd know that my Rizzo hasn't been eating very well lately. She was showing zero interest in crickets so I got wrapped up in various worms and roaches sooo...I...

So I currently have an infrared thermometer (National Geographic) and Hydrofarm's Jump Start Heat Mat Thermostat, as was recommended here. However I don't know who to trust as they are both reading totally different temps. I had the thermostat set to 92 but the infrared thermometer was reading...

What are some good regular food for geckos not including mealworms, crickets, or dubias? I mean like food you can feed them regularly, not stuff like waxworms that I know should be served sparingly. Crickets keep escaping from the tank, plus they are fast and she has trouble catching them. She...

This is probably a dumb newbie question but here it goes anyway.... I'm looking at a temp controller to perfect my little Rizzo's home. The UTH is measuring around 100 now which I know is too hot. She has taken to laying right outside her warm hide (where it measures about 88-92) rather than in...

Hi Guys! Long time lurker, first time poster :biggrin:. I'm new to the world of reptiles, having acquired my first leopard gecko a little over a week ago. I got her from a local pet shop/rescue therefore I don't know exactly how old she is. The shop got her in last May and said she has only...
