Hey I’m Bug, just here to do my best to keep my leo healthy as long as I can
Hi, i’m not sure how this works but i need help. My leopard gecko Reggie has been acting really weird and i don’t know what to do. All of a sudden when i finished cleaning Reggie’s tank, they started acting kinda weirdly. Normally reggie would crawl around look out of the tank and then go back to sleep but right now they keep scratching at the floor and keeps trying to get between every little crack in the tank and i don’t know what to do. Please help
RIP
Welcome to Geckos Unlimited! I also live in Oregon -- on the North Oregon Coast.
It works better to begin a GU thread. Threads are much more visible. Here's how to do that.

I have just recently gotten my first leopard gecko. I am having a lot of trouble with the humidity in the terrarium and would love some advise. Right now the humidity is at 63%, it is very humid today!! It's normally in the 40s which has been the lowest I have been able to get it. She seems healthy, eating well, very active.
So right now I have her in a 18in X 18in terrarium (I plan on getting her a bigger terrarium when she reaches full size), I have a dehumidifier next to the terrarium, an open baking soda box next to it as well as a small container of it inside the terrarium which she can't get access to, as well as a dehumidifier pouch I found online which is normally for the inside of cars. The top of the terrarium is wire and there is a line of vents on the front (its an exo terra). I have a fan going on in the room as I don't have A/C. Very small water dish. Would a larger terrarium help??
Thanks

Hello! I became the caretaker for one tiny Gold dust day gecko, presumably a Phelsuma l. laticauda, in May 2018. We live in Oregon with no native geckos. We had just returned from the Big Island of Hawaii. Three days after we were home and unpacked, I found this tiny guy on our light switch! I've been learning as much as I can about him this last year. I have a 12" x 12" x 18" bio-active set up for him. Soon I'll be moving him into a much larger 24" x 18" x 36" home. So happy to have found this group of knowledgeable and enthusiastic gecko people!
Leopard Gecko Sick?
Female Leopard gecko, I've had her since last August. About a year old.
10 gallon tank with an under tank heat mat and a heat lamp.
UVA/UVB lamp that gets turned on/off every 12 hours.
Eats mealworms, with Calcium with D3.
She's had a hide on each side, but I didn't have a moist hide. When I first got her I didn't know. She started having trouble with her sheds and she wasn't eating a lot. I took her to the vet and he said just to put a moist hide in her tank and give her baths. I've been doing this and it helps a little bit but she gets really stressed out when I do it. She still hasn't been eating much, and she's been drinking A LOT more than normal. I don't think she's eaten in over a week now and she hasn't really been pooping either. I can tell that she's lost weight both in her tail and her belly. She has a sore on her tail that's scabbed over from not shedding well. I've also noticed that she has been a little shaky when walking.
