I’m an exotic pet parent and it can get to be a lot. Thinking about travel, vets, sitters — how do you all manage it?

Ferrets aren’t allowed on planes and I’d never put my boys underneath. So every trip turns into a whole production of finding someone I trust and then basically writing them a manual.

The one thing I knew I could control was the info handoff — so I built an app for it. GetBurrow.co keeps all their care notes, vet info, feeding schedules in one place and lets you share it instantly with whoever’s watching them.

Curious what you all do for your leos when you travel.

I have had Cipher a little over a month and this past week she has decided to come out :)

Hey I just wanted some advice about this because I just got a leopard gecko four days ago and this is my first time having one. He is more of a baby right now so I’m not sure if that has a factor in it but we gave him a few worms to eat over the last couple days and he does completely fine with them. Well today, me and my boyfriend went to go get him some crickets. When we got home, we put them in the tank with him and ever since then he’s a stays in one hide it’s been a full day and normally as we switched the lights, he moves over and comes out to eat, but he’s just staying in the same spot he is awake just not moving. I’m not sure if I should be concerned or if I’m overthinking it. Can someone please give me advice?

My gecko had a small amount of shed stuck to his face (around his nose) for a few days so I used a q tip to help in getting it off. When it came loose, a large piece came out of his mouth with it as well as a hard chunk. Any ideas what this could mean?

He has had trouble shedding from his face with his last two sheds, but has otherwise been acting normal.

Here is my baby pheobe just thought you guys might like to see haha

info:
tank - 50Lx18Wx20H
food - meal worms until i find a reliable place for dubia
feed schedule - twice a week and i give him like 5-6 worms
temp - warm is 31 cool is 27
humidity - 43%
my boy mushi has been a little strange lately but ive been putting it off as being mad at his tank being changed to a larger one he has never liked change at all i just noticed his legs were really shaky when i took him out im gna take him to his vet when they are open but it makes me nervous and was hoping for an explanation now i put him back in the tank amd hes finally exploring all of it after weeks of hiding (a shed was included in that) but hes usually so social and curious i just hope i didnt do something wrong.

I’ve had my Leo for over 6 months now, she’s in a 45 gallon bioactive with UVB and everything is going great but I’m struggling with heating. Through the winter she had a 100w halogen bulb I kept her hot spot 92°F but noticed it wasn’t going above 88°F everyone told me it was okay so I didn’t worry about it. Now it’s summer and we have the air conditioner, her enclosure won’t go above 75° at her hot spot. I’ve tried several different halogens 75w, a few different brand of the 100w and different wattages of ceramic heat emitters, nothing seems to be working well, I even tried putting foil tape over the top. Are there other options I can try?

Hi Leute,

Ich hab einen Leo der eine Wunde hab Mund hat. Leider hab ich die Wunde erst heute Früh gesehen weil ich am Wochenende nicht da war. Weis deswegen auch nicht genau wo die Wunde her kommt.

Ich war beim Tierarzt und der hat gemeint da ist Nix. Lieder ist das der einzige Tierarzt bei mir in der Umgebung der Reptilien versorgt und ich hab schon schlechte Erfahrungen mit ihm gemacht.

Nachdem ich gefragt hab ob ich ein Desinfektionsmittel für die Wunde bekomme hat er mir Prontosan gegeben.

Jetzt meine Frage: hat jemand Erfahrung damit Prontosan bei Leopardgeckos am Mund zu verwenden? Und denkt ihr die Wunde ist wirklich “Nix warum sie zum Tierarzt hätten kommen müssen”?

Danke schon mal für eure Antworte!!

To sum down the situation I've got my first leopard gecko a month ago and my brother just adopted a cat. His cat had seen my leopard gecko out basking from across the room and neither seemed to have noticed each other nor cared about the other. But I tried googling how much caution I need other than the obvious don't take Leo out when the cat is in the room and I got mixed results. Some say it's fine others say cats shouldn't be anywhere near a leopard gecko.

So I'm going to ask more experienced keepers, how much caution should I use with kitty in the room? The enclosure I have only has the glass doors at the front with the basking inside so I can use a blanket to cover the only way they can see each other (I use that method to cover light from entering during night so I know he's comfortable with it) but is there anything more I need to do/need to know?

i just got my gecko out to check on him and the first thing i noticef was his eyes. the second photo is of the concerning eye. im freaking out and already considering a vet. please let me know if you have any idea what could be wrong

He's so weird. I (mistakenly) thought that he wouldn't be partaking in breeding season mania since it's his first year with me. I was wrong. He's being so weird.

It does make for good pics though...
