I've had my gecko for a few months now, and he has never really been fond of me. He refuses to be handled but isn't aggressive whatsoever- he just chirps when I carry him. Because of that, I almost never handle him aside from choice based handling, where I just leave my hand in his enclosure and...
I was planning to make a bioactive enclosure with soil+sand substrate, isopods, and lots of slate tiles so he'll have a solid surface to hang out on, but also an option to dig if he wants. Mainly because i notice he likes to dig- but now in his paper towel set up he's just digging to the bare...
Hello gecko owners. Unlike most of the members here, I'm not from the US or the UK, so finding many of the brands recommended is impossible for me. I want to switch my leopard gecko substrate into a playsand/topsoil mix. Unfortunately we don't have playsand where i live. It's not a thing to use...
For context, I've had him for a few months now. During the first few weeks he was actually quite sociable- I mean he didn't like being picked up but he would climb on my hand. Then he climbed on my hand, and up my shoulders, and was on my neck. I couldn't reach him without scaring him and I was...
New gecko owner here. Looking forward to convert my miserable paper towel setup to a topsoil/playsand mix- except that I am not from an English speaking country. Hence, I don't have all the top soil and playsand mix brand recommendations.
For the top soil- the top soil sold here is red top...
Thank you! I am offering his his bowl of mealworms every night. I got some dubia roaches too in case he wants to try something else, and also because I hate mealworms with all my heart and I will the happiest person if he converts to dubias.
Every night I spend 20 minutes just sticking my hand...
It's been over a week and I did get him to eat about 19 mealworms his first week which was amazing. Then he stopped eating, shed his skin (perfect shed), and is now fasting again.... it's been 8 days since his last meal. He also pooped about 4-5 days after his last meal, is that normal?
New leo owner. My leo was once kept on aspen shavings as his substrate, and when I got him I changed it to his temporary set up using paper towels. However, i plan to incorprate loose substrate, maybe a large digbox with loose substrate for him to dig around as enrichment as I notice he doesn't...
Got a new leopard gecko yesterday afternoon, got him from a friend who wanted to give him away. He is over a year old, maybe two, and is currently being kept in a 60x40x30cm exoterra terrarium. I look forward to upgrading him to a bigger enclosure when I could afford it.
He has been fed a diet...
