Time

[leoman5654]

I was looking at the feeding section on the forum and saw how much food some of you guys go through in a day. That made me think of how much time everyone spends per day on their leopard geckos between feeding, cleaning, holding, etc.

On a normal day it would be around 1-2 hours, but on hatchling season It can be MUCH more!

 

[leoman5654]

Wow. How many leos do u have?

 

[Mel&Keith]

4 hrs/day+ with 100 Leos.

most of my time is play time!

I have one leo so I voted 15-30 minutes. I didn't count the time I spend looking at him. He has a hard time shedding so I do spend a bit more time on those days.

Wow. How many leos do u have?

LOL, not too many. I really don't think 1-2 hours is a lot, time seems to fly. I also go Kinda slow, mainly because I like to check everyone out.

I've got two, formerly one, and typically - per day - it's not too much time. Maybe an hour or so if I decide to play with them.

:main_yes: ditto ~ my OH doesn't get to see me much at all when the season's in full swing

I have 7 at the moment with 5 more coming as soon as it warms up. I spend 2-3 hours per day with them. Feeding, cleaning and then I let them all socialize in a small baby pool (no water of course). I hold each one everyday and at night I pick one to watch tv with me for about an hour, this way no one gets left out.

I have 19 and 2 eggs so far... about an hour a day.. and three hours every two days or so when I alternate cleanings.. :dizzy2:

 

[lizardlove]

I only have one. Since she doesn't take too much time to feed and clean up after much of my time is spent handling her. About 30 minutes in all, but I forgot to consider the post-shed fiasco... There's a half hour in itself.

I have 4 and I say I spend around 2-3 hours but not at one time im checking on them all the time and holding them all the time.

 

[gothra]

I have 9 leos so far, I spend at least 2 hours with them every night. Basically, as soon as they wake up around 6:30pm I walk in and out of the gecko room until I go to bed at around 12.

 

[Next Level Geckos]

actaully i timed myself yesterday. 1 hour 15 minutes 34 seconds

 

[paulnj]

I sleep 4 hours average a night... do the math I assure you, most of the time spent on this site, I am multitasking

 

[Daidra]

with over 60 right now and more hatching it seems to take around 4 hrs or so cleaning,feeding,making all the new hatch certificates,not to mention spending time with all of them,but it is all worth it and I love them all to death.

 

[your gecko guy]

I would say between 4 5 hours I got about 75 breeding cresteds and about 100 breeding leos and about 20 fat tails bearded dragons some gargs some darts and a 4 year old boss but he teaching me the ropes lol

 

[shawn97]

A typical time day would be about an hour and 15 minutes.

 

[bcreptiles]

spend almost every day, all day with the animals, unless i have to go to england or to a reptile-show.
to give you an idea, if i only fill the lids(for drinking) with water, and put some water in the moist hide, i use about 50 liters of water in only 1 repti, if i do 1 round of mealworms, i use about 10kg of mealies.
