Hey all,
I looked into my leos cage today right before I was about to give him a bath to help with stuck shed and I noticed that his stool looked more "watery" than normal. However, the stool itself is full in tact with about the normal half-inch brown excrement and the urate right next to it...
No new place to poop, and after getting the new ground heat mat, he passed a GIANT poop, so it looks like temp was just the issue. Thanks for your help!
Hey All,
I have noticed that my leopard gecko has pooped in about a week/ week and a half. He still has a ravishing appetite and seems totally fine otherwise. I have had times in the past where it takes him up to a week to go, but that is from lack of feeding ( I go through phases where I don't...
Welcome to the forum! I would say your temperatures look great! The hot side should typically be between 85-92 F with the ideal ranges being 87-90 F. 105 is a little hot for the top of the hide, but I would imagine he would stay away from something that would burn or be uncomfortable. I think it...
Hey All,
I want to share this experience and here what you all think. I recently took my 5 y/o gecko to the vet for a normal check-up. I have had him for 4 years and never took him so I thought it would probably be a good idea. The vet asked a lot of questions on husbandry, temperatures...
I feed my leo primarily gut-loaded mealworms and other feeders I get from my LFS. Never had an issue with parasites or from feeding primarily mealworms.
Hello Everyone,
I looked into my leos cage today and I noticed these dark spots of blood. I realized it was coming from the tip of his toe( most likely nail). He just shed today and after he was done I noticed it, and I think he might have pulled off his nail. He always has issues shedding on...
I dust my feeders with Zoomed Calcium powder with D3 almost every feeding, with a mix of calcium powder without D3 thrown in there every now and then to make sure I do not overdose D3 ( there is evidence that D3 overdosing can cause similar symptoms to MBD). I also dose with a separate...
Hello Everyone,
I have had my leopard gecko, Chauncey, for about two years, and I have had the same heat mat the entire time. I have a thermostat hooked up to it to control the temperature and keep it at 89 degrees F. However, lately it has not been getting above 84 which I know is too cold...
Hello Everyone,
I had a bit of a scary thing happen this weekend. I had my leo out on my big main table while I had some friends over. He was just hanging out like he normally does and then I think something spooked him to where he ran away fast and then fell of table onto his back. If I had...
I rescued my gecko about a year ago from someone, and I got him when he was an older jeuvenile to young adult. After a year he is still pretty relectant to let me pick him up, but has gotten better. I reccomend holding them every other day or so for a short period of time. Also, feeding is a...
Hello Everyone,
I posted a while back asking for my gecko's morph because there are so many of them and I am having trouble identifying mine. I didn't get a reply, so I thought I would just try it out again! Anyone know what morph he is? Possibly Albino?
