This is all for just deciding if or what I really want to commit to. appreciate the insight.

I had a chance about 12 years ago to buy one for 100$. I really regret not buying that one now. I’m deeply considering skipping the gargoyle gecko for a leachie, buy once cry once. I’m a little surprised to read they can be feisty about handling. Is that true in your experience?

I don’t have that large of a enclosure for my Leo. I prefer paper towels, very simple to change out and very little chance of ingestion. I use small rocks to keep the edges flat (not gravel) . I also use peat moss for the humid hide.

That you have her, those are really cool geckos.

Thank you. That was a very thoughtful and well written response. I am very jealous of your leachie.

If you do remove it manually soak or bath him in warm water first and then remove it while it’s moist to reduce trauma/harm .

I’m considering a gargoyle, I’m looking for more clarity on feeding. Do you need to buy the premade mixes ? Can you use crix and mashed fruit or baby food ? Do I need to use spring or distilled water ? Appreciate the insight.

I do the crane maneuver myself. I just scoop her up and put her on my shoulder for a ride.

Seems right ! Appreciate the help:)

Hard to tell. I'm not a expert here by any extent. Looks like a premolt carrot tail. Maybe post again after a shed.

I had a unhealthy one pass as well. Thought I was rescuing it. Ended up just passing regardless. Got this one the next day, a much better experience having a gecko thriving and eating. I like yours, looks like a tangerine. Idk what mine is some sort of albino.

He is eating crickets (with some coaxing) I also places a new heat pad that is adjustable so a bit warmer. Starting to see some fat on his tail.

Or.. it only wants crickets and would rather starve than eat anything else. Eyeroll

Sorry to hear that.

I'm not a expert. I would separate them for a bit, laying eggs takes alot out of the animal. Make sure she is dusting the food with cal and d3 supplements. Pictures?
