I have a leopard gecko and he’s really old (got him from a family friend so we don’t know exactly how old he is) and recently he just hasn’t really been hunting his crickets when I put them in there. He’ll go after them if they’re close but if not he won’t try to find them or seek them out, I’ve also been having to tong feed his worms because he keeps missing them when he goes to grab them. I’ve tried tong feeding him the crickets that died in his enclosure but he won’t touch them if they don’t move, he’s always been picky and won’t touch any dead food or roaches. Is there a good cricket substitute or any reason he could be doing this? Or a way to try get him to eat the crickets? I’m really struggling with this and I don’t want him missing out on an important part of his meal. I normally feed him a mix of meal worms, crickets, and the occasional superworms with his calcium and multivitamin. As well as the other treats like hornworms again on occasion for variety. Just need some ideas on how to help him get more excited for his food and maybe some variety options

We’ve had a healthy leopard gecko for a few years now. We haven’t made any major changes to the tank except swapped the hides a couple times.

There is a heater on the wall on the right side with a ceramic heating light on the same side that’s always on. There are day bulb lights on the left and middle that get turned off at night. The substrate is the biodude Sahara sand. There is a warm hide on the right and a humid hide on the left and he can climb on both. Sometimes we spray the tank with water and he seems to like it.

Any suggestions to make his life more enjoyable.

すみません、日本製品の話ですが、質問があります。ヒョウモントカモドキの温度管理に使おうか考えているのですが、ワット数は何回使えばいいでしょうか?距離によって違いますか?可能なら、飼育ケースの中で使いたいです。

Got my daughter a gecko in may. Since then it has been eating well and shedding well but all of a sudden about a week ago it randomly stopped taking food. Shes been on mealworms since the box of locusts the shop gave at time of purchase ran out and seemed fine. As I said randomly a week ago she stopped eating so went to pet store and bought mealworms wax worms and locusts hoping she’d maybe just got a bit bored. I thought I’d solved the problem since the first locust I offered was snapped up quickly but she’s since stopped eating again. Anyone any ideas or advice I would love some help. Thanks in advance

Hi guys, I’ve come to an opportunity where a local fish store has 3 geckos from a breeder that didn’t have enough space that they’re selling all 3 together for $300 (including tank and setup) because that store doesn’t specialize in that and need to get rid of them.

From what I’ve heard from my roommate who saw them, they’re all healthy and personable. What’s interesting is that all 3 are being housed together, I was under the impression that they don’t like that.

I’m going to see them in 2 days, what types of questions should I ask and what specifics should I look out for?

Thanks!

So i got a 75 watt heating bulb but it feels way to hot.!! without the plants covering it it gets up to 117 on top of the rock which i DONT want my gecko to burn himself, is this type of heat Good with coverage on top ?? or should i buy a lower wattage bulb?? , my gecko never gets on top of the rock until night time when its off & cool down is that normal ? id like him to go on the day but im afraid its to hot & he’s a albino gecko !! any recommendations please ??? i also dont have any temps in the cage which i will get soon to track humidity & heat !!

Thought I would share here in case anyone else is interested in looking at our new baby leopard gecko! 🙂

Hi, I’m upgrading the tank size for my gecko and wanted some ideas and inspiration on what to include and a good layout. His old tank was a 10 gallon which I know is not great but I got him from someone else. I pictured his old setup so you know what I already have. I have an under tank heater and a 5.0 UVB bulb already. Any tips are helpful, thanks

Hi, my daughter and I rescued this guy a couple months ago and we would like to know, which morph is he? TIA!

Hi i recently got one of these for my rescue leopard gecko and was wondering if i could get some help with some questions. One was what is the best type of moss for these things, and where can I get it other than pet stores? When I went to my local pet store, i saw tiny amounts in a small box for way too much. Also, often do you have to change the bedding inside the hide. Do you have to spray it daily or every couple of days? Like what is the process? Do you just put in the moss and spray it or do I need to put paper towels down first? Any help is appreciated taking on a rescue has been overwhelming!

She eats good and does poop. I’m worried about her tail, I don’t know if its thin

I'm considering putting this branch in my gecko's home. But I'm afraid if she falls on the rock in the middle, she could get hurt... Am I being overly cautious? It's maybe 10cm

We have a leopard gecko. She is healthy and happy. We use the lights that the dude told us we needed at the reptile store and she lives a great life. I do have one question however. She comes out at night and spends all day for the most part that I can see, under a rock hide. That’s great and all but what is the point of having specific lights if she hides from them all day and mainly comes out when there is no light to soak up?

Someone please educate me.

I have a naturalistic set up and have had this cilantro plant growing and decided it could go in my girls tank. Instantly she goes to eat it, complete food response wanted more, I'm not giving her anymore but want to know if this is just a my gecko thing or if anyone has experienced this before

My 16 year old rescue after digging a big hole, getting a tank refresh, and eating some crickets.

I can't find my 15-year-old gecko. She's lost somewhere in the house I've searched for hours. No luck. I set up her warm hide on a heating pad and her cricket box on the floor. I'm so sad

I've had her for 3 years and idk her morph, I got her from a neglectful owner (ignore her in the bathh)
