Gecko Pics/Vids He's Out 😊

First I would like to say thank you to everyone who posts on here. I have learned so much from you.

This is Mr. Brean. Got him as an apx 2 month old end of May. He has complete trust in me since week 2. He loves his Zilla Rock Lair and so I never see him out and about. Today is the first time he has hung out and really explored during the day. I feel like a parent whose child just took its first steps.

He is definitely a purebred good boy 💖

General Discussion He wagged his tail at me and I almost cried lmao

Today I went to clean up the tank a bit and he came out so I let him kinda look at my hand. I'm trying to do the introduction slowly like many people have said and not to pick him up unless he shows interest.

I also feed him, but my partner often tends to take over that and feed him. He is also very natural at picking him up and sometimes I have to remind him that Mochya is still new so to chill a bit, but Mochya has never wagged his tail at my partner.

This morning it happened to me and it just made me really sad lmaooo

I know they can sometimes also get moody and to not take it personally. After a while he did come closer to me just look around though

I also think he might have gotten spooked due to my partner snoring lmao

!BUT I would love to get advice on how to help leopa to ease into you and become comfortable with you and handling!

If he becomes a gecko who doesn't like handling that is okay! But also for safety reasons he should learn to tolerate at least bare minimum handling,,

Hello! I got this 6 year old female leopard gecko today and would love some name suggestions! I would consider her a “rescue” situation due to her missing toes and more husbandry conditions, but overall she seems very healthy.

Help Is this normal behaviour?

1 Upvotes

My gecko has phases where she will constantly hide in the same spot, sometimes she switches it up but when she picks a hide she will be in there for months and months, other than coming out to eat/drink and the occasional wander around. She has 6 hides but usually just sticks to the one she’s picked. I’m not too concerned just slightly worried maybe she’s bored.

Help Best multivitamins?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m getting my first leo soon and I was just wondering which multivitamin should I get for it? I also have the shadedweller 7% UVB too and I know that can give them the d3 that they need but I’m not sure how that affects multivitamins for them. Thanks!

Help New insect phobia, any tips?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been dealing with a roach problem (that my landlord is not taking seriously) and have developed a pretty intense phobia of bugs in my home. I’ve had my partner come over to feed my gecko but I’m wondering if anyone else has encountered this and how they’ve gotten through it. I really don’t want to have to rehome him, but I want all of his needs to be met. He usually gets a diet of dubias, mealworms (the easiest for me to handle right now), BSFL, and sometimes crickets. I’m in therapy and will be bringing this up to try to work through it.

Help Gecko with Wanderlust?

43 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We are first time leopard gecko owners and are looking for some advice. We got Lily a little over 3 weeks ago from LLL Reptile. For the first two weeks she was very shy, would hide all day and only come out when everyone was asleep. She'd be eating dubias and mealworms that we'd leave in her bowl and pooping regularly but will never accept anything offered via tongs. Still, she will never come out or eat during the day.

Last week we saw a shift in behavior when I found her sitting on top of her cave, and she would start poking her head out of the hide to check out our hands. Last night she actually climbed into my hand and up my arm. After that she kept pressing up against the glass all night as if wanting to come out. Also for the past week she has not eaten anything, which is a bit concerning. I have also noticed some digging in the substrate. This restlessness and lack of eating seems like nesting behavior, but I would like some advice.

Thank you for reading!

Help tips for leopardgeckohandling

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have any tips for handling a leopard gecko? 😭 My gecko is pretty skittish, and I understand that they aren’t really cuddly pets. I’m also a little nervous about handling mine. 😂
He has a HUGE appetite and basically thinks everything that enters the enclosure or comes near it is food. Sometimes he even walks towards me with his hunting instincts kicking in, even when I’m not giving him any food. 😂
Once, when I picked him up to put him back in his enclosure after he escaped, he started nipping at me. It was probably just defensive behavior, but it definitely scared me a little after that :D
I’d really love for my leopard gecko to become more friendly and comfortable with me. Of course, I know every gecko has a different personality and not all of them are calm, and mine definitely isn’t. 😂 But if anyone has any tips on how I could get him to be less skittish and more comfortable with handling, I’d really appreciate it!

Rescue Gecko thinking of rehoming my special needs leopard gecko

im feeling terrible about this decision and i really want her to go to a good home, but she is needing to be syringe fed daily and still barely takes anything in. im not sure what to do and it is causing me a lot of stress. she is a sweet girl but very skiddish and has poor vision. vet said she is dehydrated but she won't eat or drink. she is capable of it because i have seen her eat before but nothing works.

if you have the time and the heart to care for a special needs leo, im located in the shenandoah valley VA

Need HELP ASAP!!!!
I’ve had leopard geckos for years, but currently in the market for a new tank.
Something that my juvenile can grow into - currently 5 months old.
Does this tank from eco terra look good? In terms of measurements?
Ideally I would love to get a 120cm tank but with finances and space I can’t do that currently.
I am picky with Tanks, has to have mesh lid, Deep enough for substrate, wire ports etc etc

Option 1, 2 or 3?

If this is not very good can you help me with other options!!

I’ve never owned a gecko before, and I recently received this set up. I wanted to know how I could improve the set up and some tips on feeding since I’ve found it difficult so far. He is three years old and has had this set up for that whole time as far as I know. He spends most of his time during the day under the ship on the left side and usually comes out around 8pm till after I go to sleep. Very curious fella too, he likes to come out and let me hold him relatively often which has made me very happy. I just want to make him as happy as he’s made me :).
