Wow, most of them look very healthy. The ones in the 4th pic has a slightly smaller tail, but the top one looks like he/she has potential to be a nice carrot tail
Once again, good luck!

Hahaha they all look like healthy geckos, Watch out for eggs if you see any though!

 

[CourtneyZach]

Adorable!! That first one has the biggest tail I've ever seen! Glad they are healthy

 

[Geckomaster743]

well the 2 mommas are in a 38 gallon tank, the 2 skinnies are in a 20 gallon right now but the one that is not doing so well is going to be separated today into a ten gallon, and the 2 big males are in their own ten gallons for now. i just got 3 free 55 gallon tanks, one that i will be cleaning and dividing this weekend so the 2 big boys will each have a side larger than a ten gallon. all have natural slate floors with sand in the warm hide to snuggle in on.

Dont have sand! They will get impacted, And then they will die unless you take them to a vet.

Depends what kind of sand. Not calcium sand, as I just had to clear my gecko's impaction while he was living on this stuff.

 

[maverickgrl79]

omg geeez people, the sand is only in the heated hide no one eats in their cages as i have to make sure everyone is getting enough to eat! and they all have calcium in a bowl to eat anytime. !!!!!

 

[Caleb C]

They like to lick around for no reason. Their feet won't get stuck either. It sucks that you had to get them at this time, they eat less during these months, so it feels like they're unhealthy and not eating.
And one more thing, sand clumps with water, ever try misting the sand?
That's what happens in their stomachs. And we just want your geckos to be healthy.

Maverick we only want whats best for the geckos, Calcium sand tends to have them licking more, Normal sand gets stuck where they eject poop ( Lol I just said eject ). Though seriously if they dont get impacted if eating it they will get prolapsed when it gets stuck. Did I also mention Sand can cling on to Bacteria and that even after you clean the poop if it gets stuck it can cause an Infection. ( Not like that is very common because more people switch to Carpet,Papertowel,Tile but because Sand is mixed around very well. All of these things can happen to you. Please switch )

ok all sand is removed from all cages everyone is on slate only, got to hold the skinnies today! we have a male mostly yellow and one spotted female. the female is very skittish still but licked calcium off my finger.

I let one of mine lick calcium off my fingers, took a bite, good thing leo bites dont hurt, haha. Guess she thought my finger was food. My new leos let me hold them now. The youngest one is actually the docile for me, haha.
