It looks like a fun space for a leopard gecko. I couldn't find any ingredient info for the substrate, but it looks more like coco fiber than sand, so it should be fine. Make sure the rocks you have piled up are attached solidly so they don't fall over on the geckos. Enjoy! Aliza

If the shed is still on, especially around the eyes, you really need to get it off. Wet a paper towel and get the dried shed wet so it softens. Use your fingernail to loosen the shed and see if you can peel it off. You won't hurt your gecko; you will make it much more comfortable. Aliza

If you never noticed that she's shed there's nothing to check and nothing to worry about. Otherwise, make sure that there isn't shreds of shed hanging off her, especially on the feet and the end of the tail. It's fine to pull those off and to use your fingernails if necessary. Aliza

I assume you mean leopard geckos. You will need to check (if you don't know already) that you have 2 females if you want to keep them together. Two males are likely to fight and a male and a female will produce eggs which are not completely simple to incubate. Read a bunch of care sheets to...

Honestly, I think any of them would be fine. It's kind of nice to have a proportional thermostat, if you want some reason to choose one. Aliza

In general, I increase the humidity for geckos who require humidity and make sure I provide a humid hide for geckos that come from arid environments. If after 24 hours they are still not successful with shedding I do remove the shed for them. As long as it's clear that the shedding is underway...

I can't help you unfortunately since I"ve never worked with this gecko. I do recommend that you google "eurydactylodus" and read a bunch of care sheets. The information that repeats is frequently (though not always) correct. You can also check out the eurydactylodus forum on...

Snow is co-dominant. If the hatchling is black and white, it's a snow black knight. If you're breeding snow BNxBN, all hatchlings that are black and white have 1 snow gene and the ones that are black and yellow have no snow gene. I don't know how BN works because I stopped breeding geckos...

Thanks for sharing! Aliza

Are there any heating elements on the sides of the cage where it could have burned itself? In any case, I feel that this gecko needs a vet visit. Aliza

Hope you find one for a good price. Aliza

He needs a vet visit. This is likely beyond layperson advice. Aliza

Nice crew! I really like the first picture. Aliza

I don't think there's really an absolutely best anything but in my experience I have found that a good size is minimally 18"x18"x18" or 24". I get mine on craigslist and have never paid more than $70 for an exo-terra or a Zoomed, including the 18x18x36 I got (including a waterfall). Aliza

That's great that you have homes for them. I think sometimes the stripe gene isn't expressed visibly in the gecko. I also don't think it's clear whether the stripe gene is dominant/recessive or if it's polygenetic. Aliza
