    Please help quickly :(

    So I have had a leopard gecko for about three years, Nova. I got her from p**** and the one by my house generally has healthy animals. She has had no health problems, fattened up no problem, she was my healthiest girl. I went away to college two years ago and my dad has taken care of her at...

    Pics! :)

    Thought I'd share some recent photos of Cocoa. I'm a little worried about her, she isn't fattening up as quickly as my leo did. Poor thing has shedding problems as you may notice on some of her toes. She's still a tiny little thing and I'm gonna get a scale soon to see how many grams she is...

    Im Paranoid

    Tonight is my family Christmas party and I have several young cousins that have an interest in my Leo Nova. She is in the basement where the kids play guitar hero and watch tv on our rather large and loud tv. I'm pretty sure they wont get into her cage although I am very tempted to move her...

    Question about Genetics

    I'm trying to learn as much as I can about Leopard Geckos Genetics for when I start to collect more in about 5 years (after college) and also to help people with Morph IDs and just spread the general knowledge about Leos :) I am doing a lot of research but I have some basic questions that I...

    Heating Question

    Quick question. I don't have a thermostat for my UTH. I just got a new carpet substrate and it's pretty thick so my temps are hovering between 81 F and 86 F. I know this is too low and I want to get it up to about 90, but if I get a thermostat and set it to that temp, will it overheat the UTH...

    Stop Motion Animation! :)

    Toxic???

    Ok, so I just built a repti-carpet-like layer for the bottom of my tank for my baby Nova. it has felt and a harder repti-carpet-type fabric and it is the full size of the cage. I built it because before, I only used paper towels and I needed to layer them like crazy to lower the temps of the UTH...

    Mealworms and Beetles, help?!

    Ok so I figured little Nova is getting bigger and she deserved bigger mealworms than the mini ones I have been giving her. I brought home the regular sized mealworms and they gross me out, but I can deal with it. A few of the mealworms that came in the little container are white and like dont...

    Breeding Question? :)

    My little Nova is far too young to breed, she is only about six months old. I am going into my senior year of high school and am hoping I will be able to bring her to college. After college, when I have a stable lifestyle and am able to afford more reptile equipment, it would be awesome to breed...

    Maybe Stupid Question...

I couldn't tel if Nova was responding to it and walking away or if she was walking away from another reason. Can leopard geckos...

    Moist Hide?

    I have a nice little moist hide for my Leopard gecko Nova. It is filled with paper towels that I spray with water whenever I can. I am working on getting that moss stuff to put in it for her. She has already had her first successful shed and I think the moist hide really helped. What I am...

    R.I.P River

    When I got home today, River had sadly passed away :( At the pet store, I picked out another healthy, older, obviously eating (chubby :P) Leo. I'm pretty sure it's old enough to tell the gender and I'm pretty sure I have a little girl, and her name is Nova. River will be missed and hopefully...

    Disasterous :(

    Everything I do, something goes wrong. So I took River to the vet on Friday after school and River was happy as a clam, acting perfectly healthy. The vet gave him some kind of vitamin shot to help him maybe want to eat, but the vet mostly told me to just wait it out and see if he starts eating...
