New to the forum and to reptiles!

Hi! My name's Cadi, like Cady from Mean Girls but with an I instead of a Y. I just recently got a leopard gecko. I'm not entirely sure if it's a girl or a boy yet, but I named it Milo going with the assumption that it's a boy. He's a cutie. I've had him since 1/20, so it hasn't been long, but I think he's all settled in now. When I first brought him home and got him set up in his tank, he was scratching at the glass like he wanted out, so I stuck my hand in and he climbed right on! He's been my little cuddle buddy ever since. He takes naps with me almost every day. He likes to cuddle up on my chest inside my shirt where it's warm, and he just sleeps there until I either accidentally wake him up, or he decides he wants to explore.

I have him in a 30" x 12" x 12" with a heat mat, a heat lamp, a bunch of toilet paper rolls to hide in, a moist hide made out of the cup he came in, some cardboard huts I made, a water dish, a little bowl for his calcium, reptile carpet, a thermometer, and a piece of driftwood for climbing. I want to get him more things that he would like better than the crappy little huts I made, but I don't have enough money yet.

This is his set up:


And this is him.

How old is he?

I don't know. The pet store didn't tell me. He's only around 6 inches long though, so I don't think he's old enough for me to tell yet. I saw that same picture before, but thanks anyway.

Ah, you're welcome anyways. ^~^

Hi welcome to the forum , you've got a nice setup and leo and is that a Dalek and Tardis? I see haha

 

[cadiann731]

Thanks! It still needs some improving, but it works. I want to get him some better hides and rearrange everything. I kinda want to get him a little waterfall too that they have at Petsmart. I'm hoping it would help with the humidity because it's so dry in there.

And yes. xD Yes it is. The Tardis lights up and the Dalek has little wheels so it can roll around.

Nice set up.

I don't have pictures, but I replaced the repti carpet with slate tiles. I also got rid of the driftwood because he didn't seem to like it, and I rearranged everything. He seems very happy.
