Hi! I’ve had Floyd for about two years now but he’s about six and always been a healthy hungry guy. About a week and a half ago I noticed he was keeping his one eye closed more often even when lighting was low and he was curious. When I got him to really open it i noticed it looked cloudy like he had shed stuck or something. I decided to make a vet appointment and took him in only to have really no answer other than it’s not an ulcer or scratch and there was no change after flushing the eye out a few times. They prescribed an eye lubricant and was instructed to notate any change and book a follow up based on that. Well it’s been five days of this eye topical and it’s still cloudy. Less cloudy than before but still holding it closed most of the time and now he’s been staying in his hide more often. Before we make a trip back to the vet, Has anyone had any experience with this? Or have any advice?

A week into this vacation, and I’ve been able to watch Cyrus hunt a few times via the cameras while I’m away, this is just the clearest view since he did it right in front of Camera-19. First thing he did after eating was get himself a drink before wandering off again.

Free-range hunting + his pool (filtered and constantly refilling/emptying to avoid standing water) + an automated lighting/heating/misting/wind/dehumidifier system means my pet sitter hasn’t had to do a single thing for Cyrus except refill the carrot pile so the roaches have something to eat (and they’re still visibly coated in calcium powder even after 8 days, plus his calcium dish is kept in an area that stays dry)

Hi guys! I posted here a week or two ago about my new Leopard Gecko who wouldn't eat. I'm happy to share she's eaten and has suddenly become a really strong eater. I've learned she enjoys being on my shoulder. Her name is Syrax but I've been calling her Evil Babby.

Thank you for all the advice!

hello! i’m building a background for my leo and i was just wondering if using acetone would be bad? I’m using that pink foam board and have cut out the rocks and everything how i want it, I have drylock, quickcrete paint and 100% silicon sealer to paint and finish it. I was just curious if it would be unsafe for me to brush some acetone on the foam before I paint and seal to add texture? Like would it still affect my leo even after painting, sealing and letting it air out outside for a week or so??

Hi, I am going to make a better set up and tank for my leopard gecko and I have been wondering and finding conflicting information on how to secure decor. I know that it is recommended to have them on 4-6 inches of loose substrate, but you are also supposed to secure it on the bottom glass of the tank. My question is how do I do that on the water dish and shorter hides? Wouldn't they fill with substrate or have their entrance be blocked? Any information would be helpful.

P.S. He is currently in a 20 gal, and I am going to move him to a 40 gal. Right now the20 gal has about 1 and a half inch of loose reptisand + reptisoil substrate, but I am going to give him thicker substrate later with the ne tank and right now it is getting dusty so can anyone also tell me if the thicker substrate will prevent that or if I should add clay.

I currently am using the intense basking spot and T5 HO for my leo, but I've noticed her basking spot is about 96 while the rest of her warm side is around 75-80 (due to the hides made of rocks) but wanted to even it out a bit more. However my main concern is that her tank gets to about 58-60 at night and it's only starting to get cold where I live. So I bought the combo deep dome, ceramic infrared, and the halogen bulb to help warm her up at night.

I'm aware I should purchase a dimming thermostat but would like advice on which budget friendly option is worth it. As well as how to set up the schedule for the basking spot vs. the CHE.

what is this thing on his foot?? he’s around 7-8 months and he doesn’t have substrate yet so i’m wondering if it’s stuck shed or something but he’s pretty skittish so i don’t think i’d be able to get a q-tip (im really suprised he let me hold him today and i realized bc j was recording him walking to my hand and noticed his foot looked weird)

also ignore my fingers please idk what’s going on w them rn but im going to a dermatologist soon🙏

Got some of my upgrades how’s it looking? I have like the other half of what I got coming in the mail soon.

We got our dude (we think) at 3 weeks. He is now 5 months and what a learning experience. I am in Pennsylvania and its cooling off. He shed and then didnt poop for days, like 4 or 5. Gave him a warm bath and massage and next day lots of poop. Since then hes only ate a little bit, like 4-5 worms every couple days. He was eating daily like 15 worms. So million dollar question.

Is his eating slowed from the season change, the constipation, or the getting older? All of it? He seems a healthy weight so Im not worried too much but what can I expect as a 5 month goes into colder weather? Should I just try to feed him every other day at this point?

I have a new leapord gecko, I decided to buy them from Petsmart since they horribly mistreat their reptiles. I set him up in a 65 gal with four (bought) hides (hot, partial bask, humid, and cold), and paper towels. I heard from a lady to start them on substrate as soon as possible because and I quote “if they will eat dirt they will eat paper towel”. However, that contradicts everything I see online.

Thank you!

Anyone know what these are? I have a nonbioactive tank, and i found these under the water bowl. I have been having gnat problems in my other reptile tanks but i dont think these look like baby ones and they dont fly.

From skinny bebe to healthy bebe

For background Leia is a 4 year old leo my wife and I got from her coworker. We've had her for a couple months now and today she finally decided to climb up my sleeve when offered. She's climbed into my hand a few times but never up my arm. She ended up chilling in my hood for about 15 minutes before turning around.

My Leopard Gecko is approx 7 months old.

When i feed 'Blaze' , I take him out and put them in a ventilated Tub.

Does anyone one put worms or anything in a dish and successfully eaten out of it in the terrarium?

Or are they a lot more older and maturer?

My gecko has finally started to let me hold him/her and is very active wanting to crawl everywhere. So I really have to watch. But now he/she is digging right in front on the door. I thought it was cause he/she wanted out. But now they are doing it everywhere in the cage causing chaos dirt in the water. Sometimes I can’t find the poop cause it’s disappeared. Sometimes I try to put the dirt back. Is there another reason he’s causing mass destruction

Hi all! I’ve come into possession this handsome man, Ziggy, after my friend surrendered him to me. She said he’s about 10-11 years old

The tank I have him in now is the 20gal he was given to me in, with a 50/50 mix of reptisoil and reptisand I plan to upgrade to a 40gal bioactive once my plant light comes in and I can go shopping for some decent cork rounds and plants. He’s munching on some calcium dusted super worms in this photo as she said he hasn’t been fed in a while :(

I also own a crested gecko, so bioactive enclosures and reptile care isn’t new to me. I’ve just never owned a leo before and want to make sure I’m doing everything right!! Any advice is appreciated greatly

Recently my Leo, Echo, went to the vet because of sperm plugs. They were removed and he seemed better. The vet prescribed medicine and told us to soak him 2-3 times a day and apply a cream they gave us. I’ve been soaking him but this time he put his head under the water and held it there. I freaked out and took him out but I wanted to know if this was him playing or drinking so I put him back in and he did it again. I waited to see if he would lift his head up by himself and he didn’t, so I took him back out.

I don’t think I will soak him anymore; maybe a sauna instead. I was mainly making this because I want to know if this is relatively normal or if there is something going on.

Hi all!
Another question from me. 😅 This is Gladys! She is recently rehomed with me and she's been here since Sunday night (~9:30pm).
I looked at the picture guide for weight, and she looks underweight and I want to get her healthy as soon as I can- whether going to vet or feeding more. She's eaten yesterday and today, 8 dubia roaches yesterday and 6 today (calcium w/ d3 yesterday calcium w/o d3 today).

I don't know much about how her former owner cared for her, they used the UVB bulb I pictured in my previous post but I have taken it out since she's come home and have a incandescent bulb in (25W currently, changing to 50W tomorrow!). They fed her dubia roaches mainly, said they tried crickets (she apparently did not like them), mealworms and superworms (both not often/as treats).
I am ordering more clutter for her and making a humid hide for her on Friday (when I get paid). She has 1 branch/log and 3 hides. I have a water bowl in the middle and a bowl of calcium w/o D3 in there as well.

She's been very friendly and hung out with my mom (no handling was done! Just "interacting" with her in the tank. She came up from underneath her paper towels after feeding today.

Anyway, sorry for the word vomit, I am just wondering whether to see a vet or feed more? Her tail seems to be the size of the healthy one but her body is thin. If anyone can give advice, I appreciate it very much! Sorry to post yet again. 😅

Hi from my super cute electric morph.

Context: I got my Pablo 2 days ago. Yesterday he trusted me enough to climb on my hand so i tought i will try to feed him today but at first i put down a cricket infront of his face and he just looked at it as it was hopping away and i was thinking that they are too fast for him since he is so young so i trapped them in a glass and calcium powder and he ate 3 crickets out of the glass and 1 out of the tweezers because i was too slow and didnt think he would jump after the cricket i was holding. (He also didnt look uncomfortable or stressed while climbing in and out of the glass thats why i gave him 2 more that way)

I am also thinking of switching to dubia roaches and also breeding them since they are slower and dont smell as bad as normal house crickets
