The other gecko died today. I can't describe how terrible I feel right now. I'd been spending an hour a night syringe feeding both geckos, giving them their meds etc. Rory looked like he was starting to feel better the last few nights - was really hoping I could save him.
I still wish I knew...
I have a juvenile leopard gecko that has been in and out of the vets for over a month now and I'm hoping to see if anyone else has encountered this problem.
Originally I brought him in with some swelling on the side of his face and trouble opening both eyes. She suspected a systematic...
As far as I know he is just a normal, although I suspect he and his mate may have some other lines crossed in. They are pet store finds, so hard to be sure unfortunately.
Before I went to bed last night I checked on the geckos and noticed that one of my juvenile males has a prolapsed hemipenis.
I believe I caught it pretty quickly (same day) It was slightly dry but not horribly so. I alternated between sugar water baths and applying preparation H (I now owe my...
Thanks Guys!!
So many knowledgeable people here - If I had to pick one I'd second GopherHockey, very active and a lot of good contributions. Dark and Leo would also be fantastic choices.
I'm curious as to whether thiamine (B1) deficiency occurs in leopard geckos with any frequency.
I was in a discussion on another site about a leopard gecko with symptoms almost identical to enigma syndrome - but the age of the animal makes me think that it must be something else. In my reading...
I've had a few pics of my other gecko sleeping in the cup of vermiculite that I use as a makeshift cage humidifier. My male Sam seems to have claimed it as his own now. Thought this pose had to be shared.
I'm always amused by some of the positions and places geckos find to sleep in.
I put some glasses full of vermiculite and water in my cages to up the humidity over the winter. I used stem glasses so I they didn't take up too much floor space. Apparently my leo Fiona discovered it and decided...
This past year my leopard geckos laid three batches of eggs.
My first set of babies had some very bad defects and I didn't think either would survive. The second set of eggs were laid the same week the first babies hatched. I made the agonizing decision to destroy the eggs as I strongly...
I had my second set of leopard gecko eggs hatch about a month ago. Just wanted to share the adorableness
Just hatching- trying to take a pic inside the incubator so sorry for the horrible lighting
Both babies shortly after hatching (temporary cage so I could keep them in the incubator)...
Grabbed this shot right after feeding the geckos last night - The quality isn't the best but it is still probably my favorite shot to date. Figured it would make for a good first post :)
Here is an album of my two adults - I can't get over how expressive leopard geckos can be...
