    Mouth Compactions

    I get my cricket food from a mom and pop pet store (because that's the only pet store in my town), and I have Nature Zone Total Bites. I tried hornworms, pheonix worms, and silk worms and he wasn't even remotely interested. I can definitely try again but it's always so frustrating to buy like...

    Mouth Compactions

    I have a really small UTH that spans under both warm hides and a 100w ceramic heat emitter, both hooked up to a thermostat that pops them on and off. My vet told me that this sometimes happens when it's not warm enough so I keep it on the warmer side. Like I said, he spends all of his time on...

    Mouth Compactions

    Hello! I've had my leo, Remy, for about 2.5 years. For the last year or so he has constantly been getting "stuff" compacted in his teeth on both sides of his mouth, and I was wondering if anybody had any thoughts on why this may be happening. It all started when I switched his moist hide...

    Maybe mouth rot?

    Hi! My leo Remy has something weird going on... it sort of looks like he had a piece of ****roach stuck in the side of his mouth but it's been there for about 4 days. This has happened before but went away within 24 hours so I thought it may just be a piece of food but now it's gone on long...

    Keeping and Feeding Dubias

    Hello! I have a partially blind Leo named Remy, who I've owned for about half a year. I'm not sure how blind he is excactly, but his previous owner informed me that he couldn't hunt for crickets, so they hand fed him meal worms instead. So that's what I've been doing; if I set them in front of...

    Just shed but still pale?

    Oh! I'm sorry, let me reattach it. Yeah, I guess it is a multivitamin with D3. His previous owner gave it to me about 8 months ago when I got him so I guess I haven't looked at it that closely. I'll look into get calcium w/ D3 instead (:

    Just shed but still pale?

    My leo Remy just shed his skin last night, but today I noticed that his skin still looks pale and dry. I didn't see him shed completely; he got it off from his nose to just behind his front legs when I went to sleep but I don't see any excess skin on him anywhere. Could this be a sign that...

    New Leo owner with lots of questions!

    I have an update! I've got my set-up (mostly) all figured out now! In addition to getting some new hides and replacing the substrate, I found out that with the UTH and the heat lamp it was getting WAY too hot in there. This explains why he spent all of his time in the log that was in there...

    Warm side too warm!

    I'm kind of in a weird predicament and I'm sure that there's a solution that I haven't thought of yet so I need some input! I acquired my leo Remy from somebody who gave him to me for free with all of his enclosure/supplies, so I originally kept whatever she gave me only to find out later that...

    Insects in enclosure...?

    Hello! So I've been out of the country for about 3 weeks and I left my leo at the vet that I work at while I was away. His enclosure was in a loft of the clinic and a bunch of insects kept being drawn to his night light and got all around/in his tank. A friend's little brother was watching him...

    Maggots? Good or no?

    So, I work at a small animal clinic (no reptiles; just dogs, cats, and the occasional rabbit). A few days ago these people brought in their ranch dog (border collie) who had gotten all matted up around her back legs and had a ton (and I mean a TON) of maggots all over her. As we were trying in...

    New Leo owner with lots of questions!

    Here's my new set-up! The tiles are sliiightly too big so you can see where one doesn't sit flat but it's not too shabby. He now has a cool hide, a warm moist cave, and a warm dry hide. The tank is a little too crowded (I know), but I just really can't afford a bigger one for a couple of months...

    New Leo owner with lots of questions!

    Woohoo! I love questions! They make me feel like I sort of know what I'm talking about (: I've never heard about feeding him anything other than meal-worms, so I'll definitely look into that! I've never tried crickets but his previous owner told me that he has a really hard time catching them...

    New Leo owner with lots of questions!

    Hello! I'm not sure if I'm writing this in the right sub-category but I'm new to this whole "forum" thing! I adopted a leopard gecko (I named him Remy) about a month and a half ago (I'll attach a picture so you can all see how adorable he is!), and I honestly don't know much about them other...
