So I took out this tall long/hide that my gecko kept falling off of. Since then he's been in his moist hide ALL day. He doesn't seem to be shedding. Also, ever since I fed him crickets a couple weeks ago, he hasn't eaten his mealworms at all. His main diet is mealworms so i dont know why he's...

Hi guys! I'm really happy that my Leo seems to be sociable. He climbs up my arm freely now. The only problem I have is that he seems like he genuinely wants to get out of his tank. He got out once before, and now whenever I take off the lid of his tank, he crawls to the top of his log and has...

Ok folks, So for the past year i've gotten by with using a plastic dish (that my Leo came home in) as a humid hide. With a damp, folded up paper towel inside, it worked like a charm for a while. I put duck tape around the sharp edges of the entrance that I cut out. Problem is, over time the...

Yes, i've seen the polls and have heard all the commentary on different substrates and their advantages/disadvantages. But, i'm having a hard time choosing a substrate. Here's the details: 1. I'm upgrading to a 20 gallon tank :biggrin: 2. My gecko is at least 6 months - 1 year old...more or...

Okay so I feed my gecko mealworms and I've been noticing a lot of white ones that look like they're morphing to the next stage of life. They are white and kinda chunky looking (and just plain gross). Whenever I see them i just throw them outside but lately I've been throwing out a lot of them...

Okay so I've had leo for over 2 months now. I keep hearing about this ratio of calcium/phosphorous that my gecko should be getting? As of right now I have a dish of pure calcium in his tank and dust with d3 twice a week. My mealworms and crickets are fed carrots and occasionally lettuce or...

Alright, there are enough of experienced people out there to answer this. So I have a 10 gallon tank. I bought a Zoo med 10 gallon UTH and a thermometer (that doesn't even work well). Now, i'm noticing that my gecko spends almost all of his time on the hot side of the tank. The thermometer...

Ok so it's been at least 4-5 days since my gecko has pooed. He's been in his moist hide more often, I think he's getting ready to shed. I haven't been feeding him everyday due to lack of food BUT I gave him 9 crickets on Saturday and at LEAST 10 mealworms yesterday (Sunday) and he hasn't pooped...

Hey everyone! I'm trying to get my new gecko used to me handling him. I'm taking it slow (i.e. just resting my hand in the cage for a while) and i've even held him for a few seconds. But i'm trying to make it as stress-free as possible because i don't want him to drop his tail. So my...

Ok. Soooo i'm wondering if my gecko is ok (plz read below) I feed him everyday and he usually eats 10-16 mealworms (DO NOT TELL ME THEYRE BAD FOR HIM, IT'S MY GECKO, MY CHOICE) but I usually stop him at 10 because it scares me to let him eat any more than that. But anyway, I've noticed that his...

Hi everyone, I am a TOTAL newbie when it comes to any and all reptiles, and i just got my new leopard gecko, Leo, 3 days ago. I did extensive research before i got him, but i still have a few questions. Oh, and Leo is only a month or so old. (i'm guessing) So question: I'm OCD when it comes to...
