Spike is about 3 years old. Within the last 18 months he has had a few fairly severe issues. One thing is he lost his sight due to an eye infection. We managed to save partial sight in one eye through medication but the other eye he is totally blind. Before eye loss he shed probably once a...

So when Spike (aka Dora until we found out we had a boy!) started going blind he stopped eating. He lost a fair bit of weight and thinned out. To the point where I was making mealworm paste and feeding him off a small spoon. One eye healed up but he still wouldn't eat. But all of a sudden he...

We have tried everything we can think of. His eye just keeps getting worse and worse. He licks it a lot. And he was eating though he hasn't eaten anything in the last 4 days. We keep using polysporin eye drops and swabbing with a q-tip but it doesn't seem to help. He doesn't appear to be in any...

So Spike is blind in one eye and partially blind in the other. Vision won't return. Currently we are feeding him four or five crickets every other day. He lost some weight and tail girth during the first stages of the infection when he couldn't see at all so we are trying to beef him up a...

Well, first off, we found out, that after two and a half years Dora is a boy. Apparentley the person who got it for my daughter told us it was a girl because that's what the pet store guessed at and we didn't try to hard to look otherwise, but when we had the breeder look at her eyes he...

This is Dora right now. The stuff in the lid is actually ground up meal worm and water (barf....now that's love) and she was licking at it. Not with a ton of enthusiasm but at least it was something. I originally had it in a syringe but she was getting spooked by the syringe popping up in her...

So as mentioned in a previous post, Dora is sick. She has something in both eyes that could be either shed or infection. I have no vet available. A local breeder suggested a drop or two of polysporin eye drops in the eyes once a day and a gentle swipe of a qtip. We are on day 3 with no...

We don't have a vet here that deals with leopard geckos so I need some help. Dora's one eye doesn't look right. It's almost milky, you can barely see the pupil, and it's watery. The other eye is fine. She doesn't seem to be in any pain, she is eating fine, hasn't lost any weight. She shed...

We are looking at adding another gecko to our family. My fiancee wants something nifty to look at and we are looking at knob tailed geckos. Does anyone have personal experience to share? Or can recommend another type? Thanks!

Is Dora a regular coloured gecko or not? I'm having a debate with someone haha

My fiancée has been wanting to get another leopard gecko. But Dora has been alone for two years now, and I always thought if you introduced another gecko of smaller size then Dora would kill it. We have no access to breeders, only pet shops here. We do have a specialty...

I inherited a tree frog tonight. The owners were bored with it and were just going to let it free to freeze to death. So I took it. But I know little about them, it was an impulse adoption because I couldn't stand to know it was going to die. I'm going to do some of my own research but if...

We have a leapord gecko named Dora. She is about two years old. In the past two months she has basically stopped eating. We have her on repticarpet, no sand, but I took her to the only vet in town who would look at a gecko to see if she was impacted and he said he could see no reason why she...

We moved Dora to a bigger tank today. But there are some issues I need help with. First off, I know I need to add more stuff in it, she went from a ten gallon to a sixty gallon. Is that too much space? Second, how to I keep the slate from hurting her belly? I currently have the repticarpet...

Dora is over a year old, close to a year and a half if not a tad older, and she is shedding a lot. I mean, once every week and a half to two weeks. She is still eating...no more or less, she is still doing her business, is active, friendly. But she had slowed down to one shed a month almost...
