Can leos swim??? found a pic?!?!

[Ipsl]

I assume this is a baby for one, but why? Is there any good purpose? Or is it just cool to watch and doesn't stress them out?

It looks like the baby is just soaking in a little water. Leopard Geckos cannot swim, and will drown if they aren't able to stand in water.

 

[ALGeckos]

Agreeing with Marcia, it looks like it's soaking. Soaking is usually done to help them with shedding.

Am I the only one who doesn't see any water in the tub?

I don't ethier. :main_robin:

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

LOL!!!

LOL :main_laugh: ! I actually don't see it either, but I just assumed it was there and replied with the water info. Hehehee~

 

[Ipsl]

LMAO my girl showed this to me and I assumed!!! THERE IS NO WATER IN THERE!!!! WOW well good first impression on my part (ouch). Well Im usually not that dumb I swear.

But look at the top the line looks manipulated by water.

 

[Leopardbreeder]

Yea, I was thinking that where is stopped being matte, it was water. Thats deceiving.

Moral of the storing: Don't let your geckos swim.

The same EXACT thought went through my head, then I scrolled further down the post and saw you take the words right outta my mouth, lol. They still can't swim though, lol.

 

[MichaelJ]

the only way i figured there was water was because the feet looked a bit magnified by the water..

thats too funny..

 

[Leopardbreeder]

No there is no water. Look at his shadow, there would be ripples from the gecko moving in the bath. I could be a CSI!

 

[GroovyGeckos.com]

Yea, I was just about to say the shadow looks too perfect. Such smart people we have here!

Water line?

Well I see a water line in the tub, will it drown the little guy?

But I do see water in the tub, good thing, maybe, maybe not, bad thing maybe, maybe not, CSI needs Rehab on this one YES

The leo may be soaking to get rid of a bad shed maybe maybe not, even so its too much water, but if that is the case at least they tried and they obviously watched the leo while soaking since they took pics, they didn't just sit em in there and run off.

IF they are trying to see the leo can swim its a bad thing, but they still did not just run off and leave em, or at least they didn't til after the pics were taken.

at any rate there is water is there to get a debate or its a great phtoshop version to tick us all off.

To me it looks like just the lid of a tub, and that is maybe less than a 1/4 inch deep lip around the edge. The bottom of that lip, looks a bit like the "water line". The part that is stamped rubbermaid, only looks raised, slightly above that lip.

Since I do not think that is the bottom part of a tub, it could`nt be very deep IF there is water in there.:main_robin: If it was, the middle of that tub would be a hard spot to clean, being stamped with a logo like that. :main_laugh:

Thats just what I see, but who knows. This is kind of a tricky picture!

 

[supperl]

I would say that the water is outside^^

 

[Ipsl]

Well didnt mean to beat a dead hoarse but now I saw a you tube video of a leo swimming!!!! I dont want to tell people why they were in the water but it wasent nice.

 

[gaparicio]

I just think it's a little weird when people want to see their pet _____ (you decide which kind) in water to see if it can swim. If it doesn't have webbed feet, I just don't do it.

 

[Ipsl]

Well the leo wasn't a pet. So I didn't think he minded about that.

 

[yellermelon]

Hmm I didnt see any water either, but if that line is water...it does apear to be on the outside mabey the tub is a gecko boat.
