Donnie and I did a small photoshoot over the weekend with a very familiar prop... (Please note that at no time is Donnie forced to interact in any way with a prop. All of his reactions are entirely his own.)

I'm looking to switch from a moderately simple slate and paper towel floor for my leopard gecko to a more naturalistic enclosure (as well as moving up to a 40 gallon enclosure from a 25 g. long). I know a lot of people do organic soil mixed with play sand. But I worry that I would screw up the...

Just out of curiosity, has anyone used this for the Leos? https://smile.amazon.com/Hikari-20606-LeopaGel-2-11-oz/dp/B0822Q1JDX/ref=sr_1_39?crid=L8MT9G50MX81&keywords=leopard+gecko&qid=1657736357&sprefix=leopard+gecko%2Caps%2C85&sr=8-39 Donovan is currently eating like a happy little trouper...

Question: For geckos that don't have a naturalistic enclosure, do you all have dig boxes? IF so, what do you put in them?

I am going to be switching Donnie from a halogen bulb for basking (which hasn't been effective and he doesn't seem to like at all) to a deep heat projector. I just got the 50W Arcadia DHP (I'd rather start lower and get a bigger one if needed than to over heat him). I have a thermostat for it...

Donovan is shedding again. He shed within the first week that I got him (brought him home on a Friday and he was shedding on Monday or Tuesday). Tomorrow will be a full 3 weeks that I've had him. There was some discussion that he was small for his age (I was told he was around 18 months to 3...

So, I got Donovan about 2.5 weeks ago. He's eating like a trooper, but we are still working on getting to know one another (in other words, he's not afraid of my hand, sniffs and licks it when I put it in his enclosure, and has crawled over it, but isn't quite ready for me to hold him yet)...

Now that Donovan is finally starting to explore his enclosure, I noticed that when he walks, his feet slip a bit on the ceramic tiles. So I was going to go to Lowes and get ceramic tiles with a rough type of texture. But, before I do that, I wanted to ask. In another group I am in...

So, I did a search and while I found a lot of conversations about artificial plants, I didn't find any real suggestions. I was using these terrarium vine type things that are supposed to go around this fake branchy thing that is then held up with suction cups. That didn't work, so I just had...

So we seem to be having an issue. Feeding option #1 -- small white ceramic with a lip designed to keep insects in. Donovan did okay with it, but the dubia roaches kept climbing on top of one another and getting out. Feeding option #2 -- I tried using feeding tongs. But he bumped his nose on...

Hello once again, it's me, your friendly neighborhood leopard gecko newbie (aka "She of a Million Questions"). So, I've got Donovan on the 12-18 month old feeding schedule. Do you all feed your geckos in the morning or in the evening/early evening? I've been feeding in the evening, but when I...

I was putting the Dubia roaches in for Donnie and two escaped. They are in his enclosure. If they were crickets, I'd end up pulling everything apart to find them because I don't want them attacking him when he's asleep or something, but what about the roaches??

Hi all, it's me....yet again. OK, so quick background: Just got Donovan a week ago. We have a Zoo-Med front opening 25 gallon enclosure (12x30x16). Following very welcomed advice, I switched out the Zoo-Med 30-40 gallon UTH for a Ultratherm one that is 11x17 (approx). I have a 150 watt...

I just got Donovan on Friday evening. He's eaten twice so far (first time he at 3 superworms and the second time he ate about 5 small Dubia roaches with Calcium D3). He's somewhere between 18 months and 2 years and is about 17 cm long. I'm thinking he's a bit on the thin side and but I'm not...

OK, I've read the Leopard Gecko Care guide on here (and many others). I know that, as he is 18 mos or older, he should eat every couple days. I know to dust his food with calcium (with D3) and Vitamix (without D3). I know WHAT to feed him. What I can't seem to find is how much should he eat...

So, I asked a bunch of questions already, but on Friday evening, I got to finally bring home my new Leopard Gecko: Donovan He's doing well. Adjusting to his enclosure (although, he's staying more on the warm end -- which will be resolved when the new recommended Ultratherm UTH arrives and I'm...

Hi, I'm Michele and in the process of preparing to get a leopard gecko. Just purchased a ZooMed 30x12x16 enclosure (25 gal) and a ZooMed UTH for a 30-40 gal terrarium. Other items (like digital heat mat thermometer, thermometer gun, hides, vitamin supplement, calcium D3 supplement, etc.) are...
