Welcome to /r/Geckos! If you have any comments or concerns please message the moderators

Howdy, I am going to try to pick up my marbled gecko tonight but i have some questions, will it resist? will it make noises? will it start trying to run away? an other info is highly appreciated. Cheers

I have a tank 60cm(24") x 45cm(18") x 45cm and I was wondering it that would be enough room to house 1 knob tailed gecko or a wood/stone gecko.

Thecadactylus oskrobapreinorum (try saying that 3 times). A beautiful gecko only found on St Martin’s island, spotted and a velvety skin that will tear if restrained.

His little hand is so cute

I was wondering what inexpensive plant lights everyone uses for their enclosures? I love Arcadia jungle dawn lights but they are expensive. What have you had great plant growth with. Trying to get this enclosure to grow really well and others. Do you guys rotate your plant lights around?

Is peach tree wood safe for my geckos? I have a lot of peach trees and a lot of peach wood. Can I use this wood for my geckos?

Successfully shooed it outside

Found in southern Australia and has the coolest camouflage.

Hey guys, i lost a leopard gecko earlier this year who stopped eating, now my other gecko is struggling with neurological issues (trouble walking, flips upside down) and seems to have mouth rot. He has also stopped eating and is getting very skinny. They were housed in separate tanks, kept relatively clean with reptile carpet (not ideal, ik). I know mouth rot can be caused by diet, but mealworms have never been an issue before. My dad had been struggling with leukemia, so admittedly the geckos have not been a huge priority I hate to admit. Is there anything i can do for this guy before it is too late? He is around 13 while his late sister was about five. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cohab ideas?

I am wondering if it’s possible to cohab some sort of species with a pair of high red crimson giant day geckos. The tank I would do it in would be a 36x18x36 paludarium. I was thinking vampire crabs or a species of frog but if it’s not possible than I’m glad I checked.

Last week this little spot appeared on our geckos mouth and it does not wipe off with water and a q tip nor seem to bother him. He's 4+ years and healthy weight.

I have had this leopard gecko for five years(I’m estimating that it is around 5 1/2 to 6 years old) and the pattern has not changed much since adolescence. The only significant spotting that they have grown is on their face and some on their legs. they were almost a year old when the two central dots grew another set of dots next to them, but it hasn’t really expanded its pattern any more than that

I posted a bit ago about my leopard gecko, rescued gecko, and her weird legs and disformed spine and just wanted to get it off my chest then. But Zilla was taken to the vet this morning and we found out a couple things. A. She is a he. B. He doesn't have mpd.

We got an X-ray done and he doesn't have a single bone in his front arms and is entirely missing his spine. They never formed because of years of abuse. He's in pain and he's getting put down tomorrow morning. The vet told me I did everything I could, that I was doing everything right for if he did have MBD but that he was beyond saving, that you can't fix this, that I was a great owner and my only problem with his tank was the substrate. But that doesn't feel good at all.

I'm happy I rescued him, gave him a loving home even for only a little under 2 months. But now I don't even know what I'm supposed to do. My options about keeping his body are very limited. I wanna get him back. I wanna get him to someone and get his bones back but I can't afford it. I can't even process it and I don't know where to go from here.

If anyone has any tips or ideas or anything please tell me, make my life a little bit easier rn. Thanks.

Attached image is his X-ray. Idk just in case of confusion somehow.

Hi all, I was feeding my gecko en noticed this big white spot on his leg. It's not stuck shed, it looks like the color of the scales are missing. Going to go to the vet soon. Anyone else ever saw this or know what causes this?
