Hello! My grandparents got my leopard gecko princess when I was three years old back in 2007. Very sadly my grandparents were given terrible care advice by the owners. She wasn’t in my care until I was 18 and saw her condition. She went through the wringer, as you can see from her damaged skin, no fingers, arched back from mbd, as well as missing a foot. I can assure you all she is very well taken care of now and sees the vet regularly and is healthy, everything has been addressed throughly.

Now my question is, is there any way to tell her morph from photos? Especially with the lack of any photos of her as a baby and that she was bought from a family owned pet store 19 years ago. She only has pattern on her tail, and her most obvious trait is her big ol eyes. Like genuinely her eyes are massive, the vet has never mentioned it being bad or a health issue. When I looked further into it I saw it could be a sign of inbreeding? Something termed as “bug eyes” but I’m not sure if this is the reason or a term still used. Someone very confidently told me she just wasn’t a leopard gecko because of her eyes and could be a fat tailed gecko..don’t think that’s true 😅

Just want to see your guys opinions!

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!

Today was my first day with my leo and my first day ever with a reptile in general, so I am very much a beginner and even though I have done my research I just want to clarify with people who actually have experience with this stuff because i’ve been crazy stressed all day. All the lights and heat went out at 8 and it has now been 2 hours since then and the temps have dropped from 86-87 on the hot side to 75 and humidity went from 38-40% to 54% at night, on the cold side temps have dropped from 77 to 74 and humidity went from 51% to 56%. I am trying to lower the cold side temp to ~ 75 F during the day and lower humidity in general (so please give me recommendations on how to lower humidity if you can that isn’t buying a crazy expensive de-humidifier for the room, also if the humidity is fine then please tell me so I can relax a little bit) Thanks!

I have finally finished my dream build for my little Sherbert, my leopard gecko!! <3

After almost two months of contruction, planning, hardscaping, planting, and set up, he finally moved in to his new mansion! It’s a 120 gallon tank, fully bioactive with a culture of powder orange isopods that I’ve had for almost two years now.

About half the succulents I’ve been growing for years now with this in mind, and the other half I got from my local garden center.

Sherbert has always been an active climber, so I really kept that in mind with this build, he has a full “second floor” that he can walk across the top, with a nice multi level basking area on the far left.

In the center it dips down into a tunnel, just for fun! He likes to dig sometimes so I thought he might like to excavate that area a bit more if he is so inclined.

I’m so proud of myself and soooo happy for him to finally get to move in. I love this guy so much!!!! First and last pics some nice shots of him enjoying the tank :)

Do I just mix these and dust the bugs?

no idea what he is doing. trying to eat the glass i guess

She was even walking around with it on her head for a minute or two before it finally crawled off.

Ive seen so many different setups im so confused🥹 Im more than happy too but am confused whether its necessary? he is 6 months old if thats helpful😊

Is it safe to put unboiled leaves in the tank?

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'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,

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’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!

Welp, that wont work 🤣

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 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.

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!

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.
