I got bit by a sick fat tail gecko two and a half weeks ago. I still have a red bump on my knuckle and the center is almost a greenish color. My mom says it looks like something is in there like a splinter. This is my first fat tail bite and since she’s said that I’ve been wondering if the gecko could’ve left a tooth in my skin? He had latched on really good and I had to pry his mouth open with tongs to get him off. The fat tail has since died from its illness. I doubt he could pass on anything to me but I’m wondering what you guys think.

Thank you!

there is all together 7 hides, circled on the 2nd photo but my aft mainly stays in the 3 under the heat, i want him to explore more so what can i do to encourage him to move around more?

I wanna do mine (maybe not loose substrate, because even of the risk is low, i prefer 0%)

So im asking for examples

Bioactives No Bioactives

Whatever you want ^^

holo, im still thinking about getting a fat tailed gecko, got recently a temp/humid termostate, and i saw the enclosure itself is 40& of humid, obviously i have to increase it, maybe with loose substrate

the thing is my mom is worried it might affect the humid in the rest of the room, she doesnt want moss issues, because where i live, at least by our climate predictions, its around 66% . Any advises?

hi everyone, I’ve had this guy for over 2 years now and he has to be over 3 years old. He’s always been acting healthy and eating properly until recently :( He hasn’t been eating for over a month but has barely lost any weight, the temperatures in his tank are normal and he still gets offered food regularly. however he’s always had this habit of climbing on the corner of the tank almost right after I shut his lights off for the night. and during the day he’s almost always against the glass on that same side of the enclosure. like is this normal? is he just a weird little guy?? thnx 4 the read ! i am just worried about him

My girl cut her mouth while feeding and the vet prescribed her antibiotics. The first few injections went okay, but she has gotten progressively more agitated and I missed her most recent one because she pulled away.

She doesnt like being handled on the first place. I'm holding her the way the vet showed me (with two fingers to restrain her head and the rest to support her body), I'm just wondering if there is a better way to do it that won't cause her so much stress.

Got my girl about 3 months ago. Every time I try to handle her, she will raise her tail and try to bite me. But when I get her out she is fine… She is about 7 months old. I’m a little jumpy when it first comes to grabbing her Any tips??
