Lil Flip is doing great! He shed for his second time yesterday, and he is at least 2 1/2 inches in length now and I don't have a scale but judging by how he's filled out I'd say he probably at least weighs an Entire gram now. .maybe even a gram and a half!
So, I have a hatchling He is 12 days old today. He's a worrying little guy. He has been eating, but he hasn't hunted food on his own, I've been having to rub a smashed mealworm, or cricket onto his nose . . but he has kept the food down and has had normal looking poops. Yesterday he was going...
I tried to give him the mealworms last night and he wouldn't eat them. He was looking very lethargic and skinny so I actually offered him a small wax worm that I cut in half so he could swallow it. He ate that down just fine but wouldn't accept anything else. This morning I found him in his...
More good news, last night I tried the same method as before, and he actually ate two mini mealworms! He kept them down and today he had made a little poop. LOL. I'm so glad he's eating and digesting . . it makes me feel a lot better about his state of being lol.
Here is his enclosure.
It does seem like forever. . he's 3 days out of the egg now. Guess i'll have to be patient. He has absolutely zero yellow. I haven't been able to determine what morpth the mom is yet but I have plenty of photos of Kahleesi, here are a couple.
Thanks! He is soo energetic it's crazy. I do plan on keeping him. His cord and yolk sack dropped off last night night. I'm waiting eagrly for his first shed. . I want him to start eating soon.
UPDATE!! EGG HATCHED!!!!!!!!!!!!! :biggrin:
Well I got my answer to my original question yesterday, the egg hatched out when I got home from work. He's so little! He still has the umbilical cord and yolk sack attached however. He seems to be healthy though, I moved him into his 20 gal...
So my Leo Kahleesi isn't very used to my girlfriend being around. Yesterday was the first time my girlfriend ever walked into the room where Kahleesi lives without me. Kahleesi wasn't very welcoming. She made sure to display her tail and actually put on quite a show. I walked in and was able...
I wanted to update this. Here are pictures of Kahleesi's egg at the two week mark. Also BTW, I did turn the egg to place the cheerio on top on 10/3. The Cheerio seems to be expanding. The egg is giving off more of a redish pinkish glow now as well.
Hi everyone! I'm the owner of my first Leopard Gecko, her name is Kahleesi. The reptile store I adopted her from had kept her with a male and told me that if she lays eggs, they may be fertile. Well she laid two eggs about three weeks ago. She ended up damaging those eggs before I could do...
