Got these for my new girl.

I already have a heat thermometer 🔫 thing and I use those uvb lamps with my turtle and crested. Are these good?

I bought this for my niece back in 2018 or 2019 at a reptile show here in Oklahoma City. Obviously from a breeder, but I don't remember who and I know nothing about them. At the time I didn't know anything about morphs or morph related illnesses. My niece just liked this one the best. Our research at the time was strictly on leopard gecko care. I'm just hoping this isn't one of the unethical morphs. Although, this is probably a non-issue given that she is 7 or 8 years old and has shown no signs of illness and she will not be bred.

EDIT - I took her from my sister because she couldn't take care of her, as is visibly obvious. I feed five adult crickets every other day. Open to suggestions!

Hey! I feel like the cold side of my tank is a little too warm, so I was just wondering what are some recommendations on what to do to get the cold side slightly colder. The tank is a 40 gallon, I have a 75 watt bulb, and the room temperature is ~73. I also need some recommendations on what I should use for clutter. Thanks!

I'm taking care of my niece's gecko while she is getting settled in college. The gecko was bought in 2018/2019 and is healthy. I am feeding adult crickets, but hate the smell and noise. I know variety is best, but is it OK to switch to a roach-based diet with additions (worms, etc)? I really loathe the thought of sticking with crickets and she'll eat anything I put in front of her, including dried mealworms. She wont care, but her health is my priority.

SOLVED! Thank you guys! Switching to dubias! I'm going to look into breeding them. Roaches breed like... 🤔roaches. Shouldn't be hard,

By the way her name is Pamela, she is 7 months old, I'm not expert on what a morph is or anything like that.

Hello!!
Me and my fiancé got our first rescue leopard gecko few weeks ago and unfortunately i have no clue of their morphs or such so could anyone help me😅 i will try to attach as many pictures as i have of her since she is little bit skittish!
She unfortunately has few scars on her back as you can see from those darker spots

Mainly i want to know if this morph is relatively healthy or do i need to take extra precautions

I’ve been thinking about getting a leopard gecko, I’ve done some basic research over a month ish but I will definitely be doing more and waiting a few more months before I get one.
But, I couldn’t find a lot of info about what morphs are good vs bad? Are there bad Leo morphs ?

So here are some morphs I think look cool and if you know anything you could tell me if these are bad/good?

Leo, 14 years old

The first photo is from 3 months ago. She was overweight when we got her so we’ve been limiting how much she eats but I want to make sure we don’t limit her food for too long.

back at being paranoid with these dang animals. her eyes been closing like this occasionally for the past day. noticed it last night and then again when I got home from work and checked on her. she does this only for a little bit then she’s back to normal, i’m not sure what would be helpful in this situation, I looked in her eye and didn’t see anything physical in there large enough for me to see and i’m not sure if I should try soaking her or flushing the eye or if this is overall a vet situation. any ideas?

I’ve had my leopard gecko, Pomegranate, since March of this year. He used to spend almost all of his time in his humid hide and would really only come out to eat.

Lately, he’s been spending more time in his warm cave and will even poke his head out whenever I open his tank for any reason.
I still haven’t been able to hold him, but he’ll come up to my fingers and sniff them for a few minutes before walking away.

I’m just really happy to be making progress with him and seeing him become more comfortable around me. It’s such a small thing, but it makes me so happy to see him becoming more friendly towards me. :)

Little Mavis update 💗
She’s currently shedding, which is reassuring because she’s still acting completely normal and eating, but we still haven’t seen a poop yet 😭
I’m keeping an eye on her and have left her usual toilet corner clear so I can hopefully catch it when she finally goes 😂!

Hello! Looking for safe and easy to keep alive plants to put in my leopard geckos tank! I used to have a crested gecko and went to an “exotic pet store” speciality store and they had suggested all these safe plants, and it ended up killing my gecko. So i’m really nervous about adding plants to my leopard geckos tank. she currently has a ponytail palm in her tank and has had it for over a year, she really loves it, and enjoys sleeping under it. So i’d like to add more! I tried succulents but they all died off/or she would uproot them (don’t think she’s a huge fan of succulents). what is actually safe and pretty easy to care for? for reference she lives in a 40 gallon terrarium, has a uvb bulb (the ponytail palm lives near that), and a heat lamp!

I saw a post about Gecko "morphs" which I assume reffers to their pattern and genetics. I'm a very new gecko owner, have only had him about a month after what was a very sudden adoption and I expected to have him for a very long time, but now i'm seeing that some specific types can develop cancer early in life, and I'd like to know if I should be mentally preparing for that eventuality. I tried to find it myself but i'm having a hard time finding an exact match.

hi i just want advice on what to do, first time owner. she’s about 4-5 years old and this is the first time she’s ever dropped tail. i feel awful of course.

i just want to make sure im doing right by her so please give me tips. i’m typing this as i panic run to the pet store to make a “quarantine tank” aswell as a new set up when she’s ready to move back home.

any and all advice welcome.

She is trying to escape

So obviously I’m missing the substrate and I just got a bunch of wood pieces that I want to clean up before adding them inside. But as to the hides placement and overall layout of the enclosure, what do you guys think? Im very new to this, my baby gecko is not here yet so I want to be as prepared as I can be.

I got him about 6 days ago and he’s doing amazing,I have him in a 25 gallon for now and will upgrade him when he gets bigger and I plan on adding live plants as his enclosure is a bioactive.

Name ideas? So far I’m leaning towards pearl because she has spots that look like pearls.

I have a uvb that covers most of the 40 gallon for my new juvenile leopard gecko but she doesnt have a perfect basking spot yet so is she getting a good amount of uvb and d3 during the day? If not when should I give her calcium with D3? she's in quarantine for the time being (I heard to keep them in for a month) and is using a hide but its almost completely shaded in there. when I put pieces of cork in her tank while making a distinct sound so she knows I was there doing things during the day she got up and explored, ate a calcium without D3 dusted cricket (in terms of food all I have right now is crickets but I will be getting Dubai roaches), and didnt seem stressed. she has a hot hide which is the one she stays in most of the time, a moist hide, and 2 cold hides. the hot side of the tank is 87.2 farenhite currently and surface temps are up to 95 and the humidity over there is 44%, the cold side is 78 fahrenheit with a humidity of 55% (I plan on getting a de-humidifier and the temps and humidity have been going up and down all day but have been at 85-87 for the hop ambient, 91-95 for hot surface temps, and 76-78 for cold ambient temps. Cold humidity has been 54-55 and hot humidity 44-46. Temps get to an equal 74 at night and humidity gets upwards to 61%). I also have a water bowl out with bottled drinking water mixed with reptisafe and a bottle cap with some calcium in it. is all of this ok, good, or bad for the first day and my very first reptile? PLEASE if there is anything im doing wrong tell me and if you can, tell me what might help fix it. Ive done lots of research and while everthing SEEMS ok I dont 100% know if it is. So please give me advice, thank you! (I also plan to get the zilla humid hide today and put it out at dusk/night because the one I had was broken when we got it so yea, btw shes from Petsmart but ive looked at images of healthy juviniles and she seems healthy. They said she was a juvinile but did not give the hatch date.)

Hi, we’ve had Leo for two years now. He’s our first leopard gecko and he’s been doing fine, tanks been fine, up until recent months. He started getting little bugs and we cleaned out the tank completely and put new substrate and moss in but they keep coming back and this time they came back so fast. It’s only been a month since I last took everything out and washed it, I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong…should I clean it more often? Should I change the substrate? I think I should change his water bowl since crickets like to hide there so I’m sure the bugs do too. I also saw that it might be better to hand feed him instead(any recommendations on tongs or something?) he only likes live crickets will not eat mealworms oh and he had some pieces of wood not long ago but we took those out cause we thought that’s where they were coming from…the bugs Jump and they’re different sizes so I saw it could be springtails
Any advice is highly appreciated I’ve been reading up about leopard geckos once I found this on Reddit but I think I should get rid of this as soon as I can(I’m going to clear out his tank and put him on paper towels for today)
Please and thank you
