It also looks like he has a little stuck shed on his right front leg. If he didn’t already get this off on his own, spray a little water on the shed or use a moistened cloth on his face to rub the shed off of it, if it doesn’t come off by just using your nails. Also just watch if his wound gets...

If you haven’t made the decision yet, I would say get a male Leo. They tend to be less picky with their food, but that may just be mine. My females are the ones who refuse food. One of my females refused to eat anything but hornworms for 3 months. I had tried mealworms, dubias, crickets, and...

Hello! I just started keeping Leo’s almost 2 years ago and I had the same questions when I first started out. For supplements, I put calcium without vitamin d3 in a bowl in the terrarium for them to eat as they please. I dust their food with calcium with d3 every other feeding and I dust with...

I personally would recommend keeping them separate. Of course you could try to cohab them longer but I wouldn’t recommend it as the female will become stressed. As mentioned above there are other creative ways to keep the tanks. I actually have created a “gecko bookshelf” to house some geckos...

Sorry my reply’s a little late. I looked at the picture a bit closer and she looks like she might be a white and yellow morph. White and yellow syndrome is similar to enigma but less severe.

Could be enigma, but also could be white and yellow syndrome. There’s some vids out there on YouTube about it. Of course, there’s a chance you just have a quirky gecko. Once I thought one of my rescue Leo’s had enigma syndrome because she has a quirky walk, and at times she will stare at what I...

Thats a beautiful gecko! I love the color!

Sometimes geckos favor a certain type of hide more than others. Try different kinds of hides like half log hides, hides with more than one opening and hides with only one opening. I have a geckos who prefers hides with multiple openings and another who only uses cave hides that are tall and I...

Let them have a week to adjust, don’t take them out and don’t attempt to feed them. After that try to feed them in a bowl. Sometimes they are just shy in the first month or so and bowl feeding is a good way to get them to start eating again. Count out how many insects you are placing in the bowl...

If you want that natural look, you could go with eco earth or your own safe dirt mix (research the right mixes) You could even go as far as a bioactive setup. Sand really isn’t worth the danger of impaction. I also have used paper towels or kitchen cabinet liner which are cheap and easy to clean.

Yeah my females develop eggs during breeding season. I don’t breed them but it’s natural. Sometimes they re absorb the egg if its not fertilized or they might just lay the infertile egg anyways. I’m not sure if this is the same with leopard geckos but sometimes there are some eggs from the same...

Are you positive he’s a boy? I have seen females with large femoral pores which made them look like males at first.

Leo’s are pretty hardy creatures and talking, noises and people walking around usually isn’t a problem for them. They get used to it after a while.

Nice your setup looks perfect. Sometimes all the clutter in the tank is better for the gecko as they feel more secure in their environment. I would assume dim lights are fine just like the moon is in the wild. You can do some more research on uvb lighting and get one for your tank. You can set...

What are the temps in your setup? Hot side cool side? Is he still breathing like this? He might not be wanting to eat because of the temps dropping outside. I do not purposely brumate my geckos but they end up slowing down and losing their appetites as the winter sets in. It’s pretty normal and...
