The questions you ask are usually answered in care sheets. I recommend that you google "leopard gecko care" and read a bunch of care sheets. The information will be a little different in each care sheet, but a lot of it will be the same from sheet to sheet. Figure out what advice seems to be...

It's hard to know exactly what's going on. Here are some things to check: Is it warm enough on the bottom of the enclosure on one side? Is he normally active? I think it might be a good idea to take him to the vet. Make sure they test him for the usual parasites (pinworms) and also for...

When they told you it would be only 5-6 inches, were they measuring from tip of nose to tip of tail, or from tip of nose to the vent (where the tail begins)? Of course there's no way to know the answer to that question now, I imagine. I don't think 8" is that huge for a leopard gecko, and it's...

Unless you know for sure that your normal gecko has no recessive genes besides albino, the reptile calculator won't be accurate. If the normal gecko had only the albino recessive gene, some of the offspring would be albino and would have beige and yellow banding or striping. However, these...

Is there any chance that the mother is het for blizzard as well? After I sent the email I thought that maybe they looked like diablo blancos. Are the eyes solid colored? They are definitely albinos and look to be blizzards as well. They are probably not super snows unless both parents were...

Unless you use a small refrigerator that can cool as well as heat, there is no way to make an incubator that will be cooler than the air in the room. If you have an air conditioner that you can put into a small room, you can keep the air cooler there and the incubator can work. I have never...

Looks good to me. If those are real plants, you may need a little more light. I'm using Feit LED grow light strips. Aliza

They look like albino super snows. What were the parents? Aliza

The mack snow in your picture isn't an albino because it's black. It is a reverse stripe, though. Without knowing the genetics of the parents, you can only determine the visual morph of a gecko. This means, for example, that you can tell whether a gecko is an albino or not, but there is no...

I'm not sure from the pictures how many different geckos are there. The first one that's yellow with the beige stripe in the middle is an albino, though there's no way to know which of the albino types it is. The stripe down the middle makes it a "reverse stripe" as well. There's one other...

Welcome! I think most photos can be sent to a post. Try one and see if it works! I can guarantee that .jpg will work. Aliza

It does make a difference if you're planning a leopard gecko enclosure or an arboreal gecko enclosure (crested gecko, gargoyle gecko etc). The arboreal geckos won't be spending that much time on the substrate and their enclosure will be a lot wetter. Here are some articles from Gecko Time...

Glad that things are better than you thought they were going to be. Aliza

For a leopard gecko? Possibly succulents in pots that you could remove and water when needed. Aliza

It can sometimes be heavy, it gets muddy when wet and it may have stuff in it that you don't want in your tank, though I don't worry that much about that. It's mostly the weight and the muddiness. Aliza
