Hi all, I've noticed that my leopard gecko, Alan, has developed armpit bubbles, getting larger within the recent month. After reading a few threads on here, I came to the conclusion that I may not be dusting my crickets correctly. I learned that MBD can also be a result of vitamin overkill...

Hi all, For the past couple days Alan (leopard gecko) hasn't been going into his hides like he usually does. He is never deprived of water or food and has a plump tail. Fall is beginning where I live and my room has been colder because it took some time for our heat to kick in. His mat temp...

Hi all, Today I introduced Alan to his new substrate: tile. Since Home Depot couldn't cut tile for me, he has 10 6x6 inch tiles in his 20 long tank. I put them in earlier today around 2pm, and my thermometer is saying that the heat mat is at 88 degrees, but in my opinion, it feels a bit too...

Hi all, So the time has come where I get to clean Alan's cage again :biggrin: However, I've heard so many things about cleaners being toxic to reptiles and whatnot, and there are so many opinions out there that its hard to choose one! When I clean his cage I use hot water and the zoo med...

He is going to be 2 yrs old on august 26th. Here are some photos of him~ Also he does look a bit dull/pale in these photos but I'm predicting he's going into shed since he hasn't in a while... I think it could possibly have something to do with the mealworms but he's been chubby for a while...

Hi all, Over the past few weeks to month I've been noticing that my leopard gecko, Alan, has been getting quite chubby :lol: He is on the feeding schedule that Elizabeth Freer suggested, where he gets fed crickets 2x a week and mealworms on Saturdays. He does not get any waxworms. Anyways...

Hi all, My leopard gecko has been pooping in the same spot since I got him (I know it's normal). Unfortunately for me, that spot is on top of a hide that had artificial leaves with small cracks. The poop gets stuck in the cracks, and even though I try to clean it, it still kind of stinks up...

Hi all, Today I bought some hornworms for my adult leopard gecko who has not been eating recently (he is healthy!). This is his first time ever being introduced to hornworms. I placed one that was about an inch or so in his enclosure. He seemed interested in it, and took a couple of stabs at...

Hi all! I just had a few questions about hornworms as I was reccommenede to offer them to my leopard gecko. I'm hoping I can get some answers and get the ball rolling on buying some as soon as possible. 1) How should I store hornworms? - I did read something about hornworm guidelines, and how...

First of all, congrats on getting your new Leo! The cage size seems good, 3 hides are good. Temperature wise, I will attach a picture here to show you what the temps should be throughout the enclosure: Personally, I think 95 is a bit too high. From what I know, it should not be above 94...

Hi all, Recently my Leo was having some abnormal behavior (and going off food) so I tried to switch him from mealworms to crickets for awhile. I know that crickets will give him exercise, but I've been hand feeding them to him since I've had him (almost 3 months). Can I just drop the...

Here are some full body photos of him(his name is Alan btw): As far as the vitamins go I will try to get them. What is the difference between herptivite and reptivite? I have a digital thermostat hooked up to the current heat mat, and I'll order a ceramic heat emitter to keep the temps a...

Hi all, I've recently noticed that it is a bit colder in my room. I recently located my leopard gecko to a new spot in my room. However, it is under a window, but I put a blanket over the top of his enclosure to prevent draft. He used to be high up on a dresser, he is now on the floor. My room...

Hi all, When I was doing my research for my leopard gecko, many of the care sheets and videos said it is good to put a small milk cap of calcium without d3 in the enclosure at all times since leos are aware of when they need or have had enough calcium. After reading care sheets on here which...

Hi all, Last Wednesday I introduced my leopard gecko to his new upgrade. 20 gallon tank, 3 hides. He had been in a 10 gal prior for the past couple months but only temporarily. I've had him for about 2 1/2 months, and he is 1 year old. After introducing him to his new tank, I noticed that his...
