    Help with stuck belly shed

    When I notice the skin color change (my gecko is bright orange and turns grayish) that happens a day or two before she gecko sheds, I put her in the sink and let her soak in warm water for about ten minutes or so and return her to her cage.

    Brand new leopard Gecko owner!

    When I first got my female Leo, two years ago, I placed the meal worms on the mat and used a bamboo shish-kabob stick to point out the worms. She quickly caught on and to this day, two years later I will us the stick to point out the escapees. I can also use my finger to point them out. I...

    Elderly leo eating less/losing weight?

    Take him to the vet. If there’s nothing that can be done for him, you will at least have the peace of mind knowing that it wasn’t your fault as opposed to second guessing that there might have been something more that you could’ve done.
