I have a gargoyle gecko that i bought from a reptile expo and i have many questions i brought her to the vet today because i thought she has tail rot witch she does and the vet was very rough showing me how to give her antibiotics and it looks like he knocked her teeth loose and they are pushed...

Hey everyone, I’m new to the forum, just hopping on to ask a question. I was cleaning my crested gecko’s enclosure today and noticed this abnormality in one of his eyes. It looks like his pupil has somehow expanded or broken somehow as it is rectangle instead of the regular sharp ovalish shape I...

Hi all, i’m back again and i was wondering if this is just a piece of the hide my gecko was in or if this came out of her? it wasn’t on her when i saw it, it was just near her. Thank you so much for reading p.s i am a hypochondriac, so when it comes to my baddie i am especially paranoid

Hi everyone, this is my leopard gecko Tango (7mo male) and when I brought him home (1mo) he was full of bad shed wounds on his head, upper lip, and nose area. The worse of it was on his upper lip, though. I hoped that with each new shed it would become less and less apparent which was thankfully...

i have a leopard gecko with MBD. She has one leg that she pretty much walks more on her forearm now, but all 3 other joints are still perfectly healthy. She is honestly really chunky with a huge tail, loves being held every night, and has a lot of energy. lately i’ve realized she really isn’t...

I had Groot out today to run around a bit, just as I was getting ready to put her back into her enclosure she was doing this “gasping” like thing. I’m not sure if she lost her breath or if she was choking on something. This is the first time she’s done this, I’m wondering if I should be greatly...

I just brought home my new crestie yesterday. He was super active last night exploring around. He has lots of hiding places and things to climb. Today I noticed that he’s sort of sitting in a weird position and hasn’t moved. He’s still breathing but he’s lying almost on his side with his legs...

REPOST: "Hello everyone! I hope one of you will be able to help me out as I don't have a reptile vet near me. I took them to the closest "exotic vet" which had no idea what to do. So I have two Leopard geckos which we will call A and B for privacy reasons. Both geckos are roughly 4 - 5 years I...

My adult male leapord gecko has been licking his vent constantly. I have been giving him baths and was examining his vent today and found some dried skin that I removed. I also saw this red irritated bump and I’m not quite sure what’s going on or what to do. Any help much appreciated.

Hello Yesterday when I returned home I found my leopard gecko under a pair of shorts in a different room surrounded by cats (I have 4 cats). He had lost his tail, but besides that everything else appears to be ok. This is the first time he has last his tail. When I found him he was hissing and...

hey :) i got my beardie girl (she's 5) four weeks ago she's eating okay and is lively and active since she is my first, i was wondering if she looks bloated, or if she's just "puffing" up a bit? i don't think she's constipated or impacted, since she's having a reasonably sized poop every...

My first crestie two days ago (first reptile). I know, I know, it's normal for it to not eat for a few days. I worry anyway. I guess I expected it to move around a bit more than this? It's just unnerving to watch it hang upside down for twelve hours with zero movement. I've moved it up to it's...
