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.

He ate all his portion, but he wasn't satisfied.

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!

Working hard.

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 💖

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,,

This is Shenanigans. Rescued 1.5 months ago, still in a quarantine set up. He loves to sit/sleep with his back half hanging off his basking spot. He also does this on top of the hides on the cool side of the tank. Anybody else seen this 😂? He will sleep laid out, fully splooted as well. I just love his personality, super curious and funny.

When I pick him up he is calm if his front half is "raised" above his lower half. If I have him flat on my hand he panics.

She moved from one hide to another. She's been in this once since yesterday. Granted. She turned 18 this year. 😂

Hey all,

As of today I have taken a rescue Leopard Gecko into my care. For the record I owned a Leopard Gecko for 18 years before it passed away last year, so I am familiar with them.

A family gave it into my local pet shop saying their kids lost interest, so her history is difficult to say. All I know is:

- she is a few years old at least
- she lived her entire life with no heat bulb
- she barely ate at all

She has retained shed on her head and feet, I have a humid hide setup for her which she has been spending her time in today. She also ate 3 small grasshoppers today.

I have an appointment booked with my reptile vet tomorrow morning to get her checked over.

She is only 25g and very small. I have a cool end hide, and a humid hide setup for her, with a small hide also in the middle of the viv. I also have put down kitchen rolls as substrate to monitor her stools.

Any advice for her rehabilitation journey?

Hiiii new to Reddit just wanted to add my son into this thread because I love showing him off and I can finally show him to people who will appreciate his handsomeness heheheheh

His name is Rengoku but I call him Ren for short. He’s suuuuper sweet and loves to snuggle. Is always trying to come hang out. Super foodie too!! Coming up on 7 months old 😊

(Second photo is from when I first first got him, first photo is very recent 🫶🏻)

This video shows his first time discovering the hole in the ground between the cash registers (one of which he uses as a pillow in the video) inside the Super Duper Mart that leads down into Subway West. He has since used it at least three times that I’ve noticed.

Other than this, the only other access point he uses regularly is the stairwell inside the Hospital. I wonder how long before he discovers that the Monorail is itself a big tunnel with three different entry/exit points 🤔

I looked it up and he said he is but Google isn't really trustworthy so if you know please help me out

Maybe I’ll eventually have the skills and space for a monitor? 🤔

Hi! My gecko has a small, recessed white bump on her nose. It’s new (within the last three days), and can’t be brushed off with a paint brush. Does anyone know what this could be? What should I do?

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 :).

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

I got her back when she was underweight and I had to make her regain weight. (she was ≈16g). That's her weight today. Does she need to gain a little more weight?

my 3 year old male leopard gecko went to the vet due to a blockage. he had ate substrate accidentally and without me noticing many times due to him being very food driven. i took him to the vet, told them everything in his tank, and they told me strictly paper towel only. i was informed to allow his current diet of only mealworms because its all he will eat, and to just add “reptivite” and more supplements. they put him on a 5 day laxative, he didn’t poop for a week- added onto the 6 weeks that he didn’t poop before, then he pooped about 8 times in 2ish weeks. he’s not firm anymore, thankfully, and he’s also not blocked up. i cannot have any roaches in my house, he will only eat mealworms- crickets rarely, but i always had a problem of keeping them from escaping my tongs and fleeing into the depths of his tank. is he going to be able to stay healthy in the ways that i’m possibly able to keep him healthy?

Please help me with this!

Hello everyone! So I’m a new comer when it comes to taking care of leopard geckos, is this supply list accurate?

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!!
