I've rescued a Leo about a month or so ago from a friend of a friend and he's ~13 years old. He seems okay in himself other than being a grumpy old man who still isn't completely convinced that he likes me. He already is missing quite a few toes, or at least the tips of most of them as they look...
I rescued a leopard gecko that came with a tank set up. I wanted to reduce the number of unnecessary wires so removed the red light bulb + another light to replace with a heat mat. I have just realised that the second light I removed is an Arcadia UVA/UVB bulb. My other Leo has never had any...
I'm hoping he is just bored of mealies as from what I've gathered, theyre the only thing he's ever eaten, at least in the last few years. He's eaten a few offered morios that I dropped in front of him, but grabs the tissue on the bottom of the tank top when he goes for them, so I think he may...
Thank you! From what I can tell, his legs don't seem affected, just the tip of his mouth looks different and he still has some shed stuck to his toes. He ate one mealworm I offered on his first day, and seemed to have eaten 1 or 2 from his bowl. I offered morio worms as he's never had them...
I rescued a 13 yo Leo just over a week ago. He's spent most of the time hidden away and pooping in his hides, but only recently has started poking his head out to watch me. My main concern right now is his mouth. If you can see in the attached image, it looks like the front of his mouth isn't...
Thank you, I will give that a go once he is more settled. For the moment he seems to be hiding away a lot. I am going to be changing a few things in his enclosure as the stuff he came with isn’t the most ideal, especially his moist hide which fully dries out in less than a day ideally he’ll...
Hello, this afternoon I brought home a male Leo who I am adopting from someone who is no longer able to meet his needs. He is 13 years old. He seems pretty sceptical of me right now and I really don't want to stress him out, especially while he's quarantining right now and in a new unfamiliar...
I adopted a new leopard gecko today from a family friend who could no longer care for him. His name is Boris and he is 13 years old. Attached is his current setup. I am going to get a thermometer and a thermostat tomorrow as he doesn't have one. The bottom of the tank is wooden so I don't think...
She looks healthy to me, about the same as my female Leo. I do prefer to keep her tail on the chunkier side, as long as she isn’t noticeably putting on weight elsewhere, or getting armpit bubbles (not sure if there’s a proper name lol). If you want to keep a closer eye on her weight, you could...
Thank you for your reply! Ill definitely have a look on Craigslist and see if I can find anything for cheaper. The cheaper ones I've seen have a wood similar to ikea furniture and I would be worried about her getting burned by having the mat on the inside of the tank rather than under it but I I...
Hello everyone! Just looking from some advice from people with actual experience as online there's a lot of mixed messages depending on what different sites are trying to sell.
I am looking to upgrade my leopard gecko's tank (she's been in one that I think is 60x45x30cm for the last 5 years...
