    I was doing my weekly cleaning of my leo Sam's tank when I noticed there were a few pieces of uneaten shed in his cool hide. So i decided to uncover him in his warm hide to make sure he had shed his toes without problem, which is when I noticed that the tip of his tail was red/purple and looked...

    At what age is a Leopard gecko considered an adult/ adult Leo feeding schedule.

    I will have had my leopard gecko for a bout a year in mid March and I was wondering at what age they are considered adults. If a year old is considered an adult, could someone provide a good adult feeding schedule, I have looked at a few but they don't include when to add supplements or calcium.

    Bloated leopard gecko

    I went to pick up my leo tonight and noticed that his abdomen seemed a little bloated. He's been eating normally, and he normally poops every few days. He has a CHE set at 82 and a under the tank heat pad set at 91 it is getting colder and I don't know if I should raise the temps or not. He eats...

    Ceramic heat emitter recommendations

    I'm looking into ceramic heat emitters to use during the winter months for my 5 to 6 month old leopard gecko (his age is a total guess as he is a rescue). I have never used a CHE before so I'm not sure what wattage I should be using or which brand I should get. I'd be using it for a tank that...

    Supplementing issue

    Within the last week my rescue leopard gecko hasn't been wanting to eat any insects lightly dusted with any form of calcium supplement. This morning I tried to feed him, since he was wide awake for some reason, and the first cricket I gave him didn't have anything on it, he ate it just fine...

    Keeping crickets

    I've been keeping all my gecko's live crickets in one of those cheap 'Cricket Keepers' from Petco. My leopard gecko goes through about 20 in a week but really only seems to eat 3 times a week, so some of them end up dying and the container is a pain to clean out. I've also been using the...

    Leopard Gecko Morph?

    I recently rescued a male leopard gecko and I was wondering what morph he might be. Edit* I've noticed that he doesn't like bright lights. He tends to either squint in a well lit area or keep his eyes closed completely. I use a black night bulb in his heat lamp and it doesn't seem to bother...

I've been told that this leo had been kept on sand during his period of neglect but he refuses to set foot on sand since I've had him, he...
