Please share your stories, input, and advice for craigslist/Facebook rehome geckos. I'm greeting a new gecko (probably a leo) and I have a few options of Craigslist rehomes needed or going though a breeder as I have before. I'm looking for any input on this route over going through a breeder. Please share!

So my gecko has recently been starting this thing where she’ll see me and start wagging her tail and bobbing her head a little bit, she does it very randomly and has done it a handful of times, she’s really sweet and everything about her is healthy and she’s been checked out at the vet and all good, there’s not much information online of course about these geckos but does anyone else’s gecko do this? (Eats good just does not like insects but also is very calm and quiet and sheds great) just a few little bits of info.

what species is he?

Please gecko community help me out here ❤️ I love my gecko so much and because of my ocd I’m constantly worried something is wrong, also can you burn incense and candles in the same room?

I have a 10 year old female leopard gecko (had her since she was 3 months old). In the past couple of months, she's been slowing down - less active, hiding a lot, eating less, slowly losing weight, trouble seeing and catching food, and due to lethargy, has required help with shedding. She doesn't have any vomiting or diarrhea and her waste has been normal. The last time she had an insect meal was 6 days ago. I’ve been treating her for dehydration and I'm syringe feeding her with Repta-Boost now. Her eyes aren't bright anymore and I can just tell she feels crappy. She seems tired and weak. I took her to the vet who believes she’s at the end of her life. The vet said I’m doing everything she would suggest. I could get blood work but it would be extremely hard to draw blood, would be costly and probably wouldn’t change the end result – that she’s dying of old age. My instinct is that that’s true but I feel helpless and sad. I’m just trying to keep her as comfortable as possible now. Is there anything else I can do? 😥

UPDATE 5/27: My precious Leo was euthanized today as I didn't want her to suffer. There was no hope. She lived a long, full life and her time here was over. I'm so sad. 😓

Made an oops changing the color and it should not have removed the image.

I would love a discussion about tokay geckos. Any questions or experiences you’ve had with them. I want to rewrite a handling guide that I never finished in high school.

He got a new enclosure, along with a ton of new plants, and a new hide. I’m so excited, I think he is going to like this way more than the tent he was in!

what dimming thermostat do you guys use? im getting a 50W DHP for my new chahoua gecko im getting in a few months and want to know which dimming thermostat works best for you guys. thanks!
