One of my leos is weird about eating, like she will go a week without taking any food, then jump on pretty much anything that is offered to her and pig out for a while. She is a healthy size, nice fat tail and body and isn't sluggish at all, so I don't think its a health issue or something...
So I have several leos and just purchased sphagnum moss to use in their moist hides instead of paper towels like I had been using. My leos all seem weirded out by this (including my juvie who hardly ever leaves his humid hide but now is wandering around looking lost.) Is this just a matter of...
I'm really glad to see this post right now, as two of my favorite big girls developed the same small lumps behind their legs and I was freaking out about it. I'm glad to know its nothing thats a huge deal, and will just reduce the amount of calcium they get by a touch (one shares a tank with...
Zelda, one of the geckos I recently adopted and could tell seemed to have had shed problems in the past started to shed tonight, and it didn't go well. She had been in the humid hide all day and then I saw her come out with a partial shed, but the rest of the skin left hanging on her seemed...
Yeah, the other one is pretty fat, and much heavier. I'm not sure if their last owner really knew to watch for bullying during feeding when you have cagemates. She is strong and fiesty though, so I'm not too worried about the weight right now, as she seems to be doing fairly well even being...
Tried to feed today and the smaller of the two didn't seem too interested, while the big girl chowed down. The small girl did grab a cricket once, but it managed to flip out of her mouth and she didn't go after anymore. I took a few of the small MWs that I feed my juvenile leo and she took them...
I feed mostly crix with supplemental mealworms. My baby is the only one that seems super-interested in the MW anyway for some reason. Haven't tried them with the two new additions, but we'll see. Hate the crix because they smell and are such a pain to corral, but the leos love them... and what...
I supplement with mealies, but mainly feed crickets, as my 4 girls seem to prefer them. So I have a tank full of the things, which maybe is cheating according to this poll, but whatever, haha.
My hatchling I rescued from a pet store (he was in pretty good shape actually, so I'm guessing he hadn't been there long, was just skinny) has finally started feeding regularly and seems to have quite the appetite. Yesterday when I was putting some mealworms in the dish I keep to supplement his...
I figured it wasn't a big problem, they seem healthy otherwise. They are a bit older, sadly part of why I think he was selling, but I'm gonna make sure they are well taken care of (at 8 years old they could very well have plenty of life left in them, and I wanna see them healthy for it.)
I recently purchased a pair of female geckos from someone and in the process of bringing them to their new home noticed that both seemed to have had bad sheds in the past, but seem to be doing well other than that (both have a bit of heft to them, and seemed active and healthy during transfer.)...
Oliver finally ate 3 crickets last night (that had been delegged) and took about 3-4 small mealworms from his food dish. I'm very happy, I was starting to worry about the little guy. (He still seems totally afraid of me being anywhere near him, but that can be worked on, the important part is...
I haven't IDed him yet really. He was at a pet store and I picked him up (because I was pretty sure just from the little of him I could see that he didn't look like a normal hatchling.) I'm not an expert on the morphs or anything like that, especially when they are really young, but maybe I can...
Yeah, I only got him saturday, and the pet store I saved him from having to be miserable in was kinda rough getting him out of the tank, so I bet he's recovering still. He's active (As long as he knows I'm not looking, when he sees me he turns and goes back into his hide) and looks healthy...
