This is Clark. A few months ago he had a piece of something in his eye, wouldnt open it and i could see the thing poking out. We dont have money to bring him to the vet so i tried to remove it for him. I see now that it was a bad idea because his eye just keeps getting worse. He didnt open it for a couple weeks and after he did it seemed that it just popped. The scabs are new this morning, i think his shed got caught and tore some skin. I put some antibiotic ointment on it to try to help but im scared that we're going to lose him. He still goes out and explores and drinks water, i cant get him to eat on hid own and hand feeding doesnt always work. Please help me, i really dont know what to do anymore.

I attached a picture of my enclosure for reference. I recently moved to a cooler area but I made sure to keep the tank away from the windows. But I used to have 89F on the hot side and 69F on the cool side and my gecko absolutely loved that, along with a basking spot at around 95F. After moving to a cooler area, my hot side is 81F and cool side is 63F. My gecko hates it. I have a typical basking bulb and UVB combo and I think it’s a 40 gallon breeder. Do I up the wattage on my bulb or add more substrate or is there something else I can buy to help regulate the temps back to where they were? Thanks in advance!

toepaz is the one on the left and yamori on the right :)

Basically my 3 momth old randomly stopped eating, I gave no idea why he doesn't show any food response and seems tierd all the time. Bonus is he's coming out more often and Gained a little bit of thr weight back he lost. His fecal sample came back clean, he's got a vet appointment booked but it isn't until January. He's on the cancelation list though.

Ive been syringe feeding him twice a day so he doesn't starve to death. I just tried offering him worms again but he literally does not give a shit. He wouldn't eat crickets when he was eating either unfortunately I've tried to get him to eat them. Pic above is me attempting to feed him but he's just sat there under the leaf refusing food and went back to sleep-

• nevermind as I'm writing this he decided to check out his worms, he had a brief food response but once his nose touched the worm he didn't want it and walked away, and is now resuming staring. The hell do I do

Also the lid is the meal worm lid because i don't have a proper food dish yet. I just keep them ontoo of his tank cof easy access.

Hello, We still have a juvenile Leo as my 8 year old’s pet. Santa is still a thing in our house and our Gecko has her own stocking.

I’m wracking my brain tho. Was is something I can get the Gecko for her small stocking?

We watch Snake Discovery, which does a present video every year so my Kid was excited to do something like that this year with our Gecko. So I am looking for ideas for things to get it.

Here she is. She is still too small for any of the little reptile outfits.

Heck even if it is a special treat I can make.

Happy holidays! From our little lady to you!

So I’m still fairly new to keeping Leo’s, rescued from someone who had done no research and had bought him for her two young kids, he’s been in a fairly basic set up so far with some upgrades to clutter ect that I had to make as his previous owners didn’t have any at all, however Im planning on getting him a new tank around Christmas and have been looking into creating a bioactive tank however I’m still a bit lost and am looking for any advice on what I should look into, or what I would need for the set up, any advice is appreciated I just wanna improve the life of my leo fang and want to make sure I’ve thought about everything before making any decisions.

So I feel really stupid asking this. I know male snakes brumate, so I assume Leo's do too (i have a male). I've noticed posts about brumation a lot recently. Do Leo's do this on their own? Do I need to do anything special why they're in brumation? And how do I know when he is in brumation?

Hi reddit, normally I post happy and cute leopard gecko pics and vids but my sister's leopard gecko isn't doing too hot. She has a number of issues that are leading us to believe she may have parasites. Her eye is messed up, she has a sore on her mouth, won't eat and is extremely skinny, and seems really lethargic. I know this isn't a vet replacement by any means, but I wanted some outside perspective. Should we even try to save her? I'm not sure if she's too far gone or not. My sister and I love her and want to try to save her, but also discussed the possibility of euthanasia and if it's the best option. I won't take your words as gospel, but based on the picture, what do you think? :(

I got my leo, ezmo, on late August. took about a month to get him used to me to the point he would easily crawl onto my hand and would tolerate gentle strokes.

After a month of owning him, when it started to get cold, he went into brumation. He didint have much of a appetite and I had never seen him outside his hide since he went into brumation. iv been laying my hand flat in front of his hide every night with no luck and tonight when I was spraying his tank I accidentally brushed my finger on his head and he absolutely freaked out.

I feel terrible and hope our bond isn't entirely ruined

advice?

I heard people that say reptisoil from zoomed is very good for a leopard gecko and otheres said that is bad bc if its dry it will get în my leopard gecko eyes. Should I ask my vetererian doctor or can someone pls tell me

I have a 7 or 8 year old leopard gecko that I need to rehome. His setup is bioactive with live pothos, spring rails, and dwarf white isopods. Im not taking the best care of him and want him to have a better home. I also have a dubia colony for him. I'm in cali

So I have a small male leopard gecko and a big girl leopard gecko in same 50 gallon tank and there's 2 story's too it and they will cuddle a lot and "splooge" out when they sleep so is it bad if they are in the same tank? Just saw a TikTok that said it was and I was jw

She looks at the bugs intently, she even licks them. And then she walks away. I’ve had her for about 2 months and I’ve seen her eat 3 times and only 1 bug each time. Always crickets, never dubias, mealworms, or even wax worms that I’ve tried. She was a bit overweight when I got her, she hasn’t lost but hasn’t gained either. 6 months old.

I also tried not dusting them in case she doesn’t like the powder but that doesn’t seem to make a difference.

Husbandry is good as far as I can tell from reading the files and fb groups. She has the right temps, humidity, proper hides, uvb, etc.

I don’t think she’s settling down for winter because temps haven’t changed and she’s still quite active day and night.

We’re not handling her as to reduce stress for her new environment

Is this normal?
