Hi I'm new to the forum

[Pop77o7]

..yeah the title says all. I was hoping to connect to people who are more experienced in owning leopard geckos. I have three.. Benni is the oldest nearly being a year old.

I have Draka, a female, 6 months... She has a swollen foot I don't know what to do.
I also have Jo Jo.. Guessing it's female. I've had JoJo for about a month or two and now it's not eating. Used to be very lively now all JoJo wants to do is sleep.

Anyway hi. lol

Welcome Pop, sorry to hear about your geckos. We need more information. First off, we need to be sure there is only one male. Boys are gonna fight! That can cause injuries and depression. Males will have 2 bulges under their tail, right behind the vent.Even if you only have one male, breeding season can start this early. And it can get rough.

Short term, I'd separate your geckos. And I'd take a careful look at their home. Do you have a temperature gradient (warm side and a cool side)? Are there plenty of places to hide? Is calcium and available? We're here to help!!!

Welcome to the forum, Explain your set-up and your heat and housing and their diet and their calcium and vitiamins if they get it but please tell us everything so we can help you.

GUESS WHAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME CLEO SHED WITH OUT ME NEEDING TO ASSIST HER IM SO HAPPY ! YAY CLEO YOU DID IT ALONE !!! MY BABY IS GROWING UP ! THIS IS MY SETUP FOR MY 2 GECKOS BUT I HAVE 2 OTHER 10 GALLON TANKS I CAN MOVE ONE TO IN CASE THEY START TO NOT GET ALONG. PLUS I MAY BE GETTING 2 MORE IF THE BF WILL LET ME.

 

[Sammerz1990]

OH an i do plan on putting them on a stand today i dont like them being on the floor... i just have to get my bf up and clean the stand off in the garage for his snake... we are moving it into the house today and then i get the stand his snake is currently on.

 

[Sammerz1990]

oh and in the hide Cleo is on top ( as usual she claims the higher levels) and Reptar is on the bottom ( he can usually convince her to let him up on the 3rd level.

 

[Sammerz1990]

plus i might take the rock out of their cage if i find a better one... but the seem to like sitting on this one when they eat their meal worms and lick their calcium...

You didnt i was trying to prevent that and im sorry for seeming like that i was trying to helpyou promise. But i would be excited to about your beautiful leos.

 

[Sammerz1990]

so do you think they have enough room in their habitat or should i take the rock out ? it helps a little for their belly heat but im not sure if its in the way of them moving around. they seem to like it enough to sit their and eat their food.

 

[Sammerz1990]

You didnt i was trying to prevent that and im sorry for seeming like that i was trying to helpyou promise. But i would be excited to about your beautiful leos.

hahah awe thanks i love my leos their my babies haha still trying to figure out what morph Cleo is though. i know Reptar is a high yellow morph. i spent $45 on him. and Cleo was $21. (again just assuming sexes haha they arent old enough to tell)

thanks for responding! Yeah, my geckos are all already separated. I did my research before I did anything. I have one definite male, and that's Benni. He's by himself. The juveniles are together, and my guess is that they are two female.

There is a warm and cool side, and when it comes to calcium, they get it from the crickets. I go to my pet store all the time and see nothing when it comes to calcium supplements.

That's JoJo staring up standing on Draka... I'm worried about that one because she's not eating, her tale is quite thin too. She used to be so lively and healthy. I dunno what to do. I have both a heating pad under neath and this heating rock (it's NOT located under the heating pad).. They love it. I always see Draka on it. This is Benni.. He's doing just fine. He's by himself. lol
