Leopard Gecko Climbing

[shayanrajan]

Hello! So I got a Leo 4 days ago. He's getting used to me and his tank, but I have one minor concern. So last night i discovered this little guy loves climbing. Today I went and got him a log. Now, what he does is he either climbs the log or one of his hides and then reaches up into these fake plants I have along the top. He cant actually walk on the plants but he's sure going to try, again, and again, and again. It's kind of funny and I appreciate his personality and energy but I'm scared he'll get hurt. I use eco earth so Im positive that helps and the fall is only 5-6 inches but im still scared he'll eventually fall wrong and hit his head on one of his rock hides. Any thoughts on this?

I moved your post to a new thread. You had replied to an old thread, which could be confusing. It's better to start your own discussion and get proper advice.

Please share a photo of your enclosure right on this thread. Then we'll have a good idea about the situation you're describing.

• How are you heating your leo's enclosure: heat mat or overhead bulb?
• What are the ground temps inside his warm dry hide and on the cool end ground?

• To insert a video find 3 lines of choices at the top where you make a post. On the second line, 15 icons in from the left, you'll see the video icon. It looks like a ladder. Click this video icon & paste your video URL right there. Your video and arrow like you may have noticed here will be displayed, not just a link.
• To insert a photo use the "image" icon next to the "ladder" icon.
  • First upload your images or video to a free Imgur or YouTube account.

Here's another way to post a picture.

1. At the foot of your post click the Edit Post button.
2. Then click Go Advanced button.
3. Scroll all the way down to Management Attachments. Click.
4. Click: Add Files. Select a photo from your files and upload it.
5. Drag that photo into the box beneath.
6. ***Click both buttons on the right: "Insert Inline" and then click "Done".

(6) Images upside down or sideways? Here's the fix.

• Go to the picture in your gallery, look to the bottom right, under "User Options" in the blue bar, you'll see "Edit Photo".
• That takes you to the edit options. It will display a thumbnail of that picture, and the flip or rotate options are listed below it.
• "Could this option not be available for mobile users? I am not seeing what you are speaking about."
• Click on your photo when you get to that screen. It should go to the one with the options.
• When you're done, save the changes.
