Hi everyone. My girlfriend and I recently bought our first reptile, a cute little leopard gecko. We have had her (we think it's a her) for about 6 months now. We have been super nervous about her care since we've gotten so much conflicting information from the internet. The poor thing has already lost several toes due to a particularly bad shed the day we got her and we only knew a bit of what to do. Needless to say, we've kept a watch since then and we've had to help her shed on multiple occasions since. Some sheds are fine, others not so much.
Anyway, those are issues I'm sure I can address elsewhere. For now I'm just here to say hi and introduce myself and give thanks for finally having a place to turn to where I know the information we receive can be trusted. I've already gone over quite a few threads on housing and health and we'll be changing some things in her tank today based on what I've read here. After that hopefully she'll finally be able to peacefully settle into her new home and start getting to know us better.

I think maybe the best thing you can do is spend some time in the housing and health sections on the forum as shedding issues seem to come up often and housing as well. Feel free to ask any questions you might have, and maybe even fill out the care questionaire in the health section (it's a sticky, says "read before posting" I believe) if you're a little unsure about your housing set up or supplimening or whatever
