Hi everyone i'm Leah. I've only owned Leopard geckos for the last 2 months. A friend gave me his because he was moving away and couldn't take him and then i got a new one this morning from my lecturer in college who breeds them (his name is noel morgan) i'm hoping its a girl so i can keep them together ( and breed) but the new one is really young so i'm not going to know yet, so they wont be put together until the new one is older and i know 100% its a girl.

Here's the male, his name is oly.

Cute Leos! Better fatten the first one up; he is WAY under weight and has a really thin tail. He needs more calcium and fattening foods or something; I hate seeing geckos that way :bigcry:. I know it is probably going to take some time to get him back up to weight. Good luck!!!!!!

Welcome to GeckoForums.net! I agree... the Super Snow is very underweight. I would recommend having a fecal test done by a veterinarian to assure he has no parasites. This could cause your gecko not to want to eat, if it goes unresolved it could lead to death.

Best of luck, and we're glad you are here!

Welcome Leah, you came to the best forum around for Leo info. I can't wait to hear an update on how the vet check goes. Hopefully you'll have those sweet Leos nice and healthy in no time!
