Hey Guys!
I wanted to create a thread for all of the senior Gecko's of this board.
Please share the Leo's name, age, and a picture if you have one!
If the leo has passed- please also share his/her memory here as well! :)

This thread was inspired by a leopard gecko named Dink- found on youtube he was "rumored" to be 24 years old.
:):)

Great, now it looks like I am talking to myself. :lol: Jen was suppose sign in so that she can contact Ethan and retrieve her password, not use mine. Give an inch and they take a yard.

12 yr old Leo

Freda is approx 12 yrs old. I adopted her about 3 years ago. She is fat and healthy but does not stalk crickets anymore. She only eats mealworms that are placed directly in front of her. Does anyone know if leos eyesight get bad as they get older?

Hi,

With your particular gecko, no because I do not consider 12 old.:biggrin: it's possible that her vision is impaired due incorrect diet in the past or she is simply being overfed which has made her lazy. There's a good chance she is overweight based on the picture. You may want to cut back on amounts at each feed. Feel free to start a thread if you wish and provide pictures of the enclosure, temps, insects fed and how you are supplementing.

My new rescue Faith

this is my new rescue faith, I got her in December, she was in poor condition and I didn't think she was going to make it, she is blind because of stuck shed left on her eyes, her age is around 7 + years as yer last owner did not know her age before they got her and only new she was an adult and had been bred twice.....
she is now putting weight on slowly and hunting out locusts on her own, im so pleased on how she is doing.....

pic 1 is of her when I got her.
pic 2 is after her dead toes were removed.
pic 3 putting weight on

Thanks for sharing Faith. She just "barely" meets the age requirements for this thread ;-). Excellent progress :)!

This is my grandma MUNCHIES, she is a normal leo, I have had her for almost almost 10 years now (in a few months), and she was a young adult when I got her, so, I am guessing she is somewhere between 11 and 12 years old now, she was my first leo and still is my favorite, the sweetest of them all, very tame, great apetite and thank goodness has never been sick!! :cheer: I have bred her 3 times (and I have most of her babies now) and I don´t plan to do it again... hope you like her

Coming up (probably after Passover rush) will be pictures of my three 9 year old geckos:
Cameo (closer to 9 1/2) my Tremper albino female and first breeder
Phoenix my normal male who got to breed once 2 years ago and is up for more
Eregon my Tremper albino male who was my first male breeder and is still going strong (probably with his grandaughters this year).
