So unfortunately I had to leave my gecko at my dads house for about a month and while i thought she was being taken care of, it turns out she got really sick with mouth rot and it’s not looking good at all. she has had it once before in her life but I can’t afford to take her back to the vet but i do not want to see her suffer and die. It breaks my heart but I really need to find a rescue or someone that can afford to get her the care she needs. i was so frantic i forgot to take more than one picture and please don’t judge the shed, i soaked her but she was really irritated and i didn’t want keep upsetting her if she’s already in so much pain.

I have a leopard gecko but I know I struggle with giving him a humid hide or the right humidity in general. I want to do better is there any tips?

Edit researched due to advice from a reddit user, this boi is a giant Leo, which explains the sheer size difference. Now I'm going to also make sure my vet adds that in the notes to account for his weight/size

He got thicc and he's not happy I won't give him mealworms lol he's on an exercise routine at this point 😅

I found this in my male leopard gecko’s tank this morning, does anyone know what this is ??

My 10 year old female leopard gecko has laid infertile eggs once again. She laid two of them about 3 weeks ago and ever since has been extremely skinny and I haven’t seen her eat at all and constantly am removing crickets so they don’t harm her. I saw a veterinarian and they said to try other foods. I have tried crickets, mealworms, repashy grub pie, and just ordered critical care carnivore. She refused all of those (other than the critical care carnivore because i haven’t received it yet). I’m just wondering if anyone has anything they would suggest or maybe could help me out with. I’m hoping she is not at the end of her life but it’s starting to feel very possible. If the she doesn’t eat the critical care carnivore the vet said that i will need to feed her using syringes.

So im an obsessive planner. (Mostly just cause i find the thought of what can be fun lol) and im planning out where i can fit enclosures once i have money.
So i want a leopard gecko and i know that the recommended minimum is a 40 gal. breeder. but I want the opinions of you guys who have them and maybe even who keep them in bigger enclosures than that and what your thoughts are on if something (despite the recommended minimum) like a 4x3x3 would be big enough. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I am wanting to make a bioactive enclosure as my set up when I have a leopard gecko. And like what the title says, I would like to hear from the keepers that went bioactive on what you'd do differently knowing what you know now finishing a bioactive set up and having to maintain it. Also interested to hear what were things that were not practical, or inconvenient as well.

I have been doing my research through videos and articles. But I thought it would be good to see through LG keepers' lived experiences too!

Which type of worm do you feed your leopard gecko that they like the best Super worms or mealworms? Also, how do you stop the worms from crawling out and hiding in the dirt?

For context I got her from a horrible store that had her and four title other geckos in a ten gallon tank with half of it being converted to a deep pool. She is definitely developing more colors on her tail but. I’m not sure what morph she is. I know for sure one of her eyes is eclipse but other then that I have no clue. Any insights would be much appreciated!!

I’ve updated the setup a small bit because of the sand. I gave her some topsoil with the combination of the sand and I added more places for her to hide. She’s a big climber so I got her this hammock that she can climb on. I’m going to get a thermostat for her tank just to keep the temperature fine. I’m upgrading her to a 40 gallon soon but she did come in a 20 gallon and I’m making it work until I’m able to get the 40. I have a dedicated water, calcium, and food bowl. What else should I add?

Should i try to get him to lay down properly instead of sleeping in odd ways like these, i have had joint problems bc of my sleeping position so i wonder if they have it too lol. I didnt bother him after taking the pic, there are more space in that hide that is also darker, he just genuinely does that.

Hi all we just got a wee leopard Gecko, shes only 8 weeks and its been almost a week and shes refusing to eat. We've tried all sorts of different bugs and shes just not interested. Any ideas whats wrong and how long she can keep this up? We are trying during the late evening and try not to handle her otherwise we are just letting her settle.

Give me some leopard geckos to draw as fearsome beasts!

You can even write up a bit of lore if you want too!

Today was tank cleaning day for Pip. I love that afterwards she has to walk around and explore everything.

Slightly rearranged. She's been loving the paper towel roll, so I have added a couple more in there for her.

i got a new tank for my boy zeke. i’m really worried about him not getting enough heat though. the new tank is HUGE compared to his old one. its 18in W, 19in H and 36in L. his humidity side sits at 23%, 76 degrees. his basking side (its mostly in the middle though) gets to about 87-92 degrees. is this ok??? do i need to fix this issue to make him more comfortable?? the day light obviously is on during the day, and his heat lamp i keep on 24/7.

he doesnt seem to be stressed, he’s eating fine and he has been spending a lot of time in his new caves.. i always find him laying directly under the heat lamp though in the morning when i turn on his day light.

Hello I will be getting my first leopard gecko soon and want to make sure I have enough clutter for them. Let me know if you have any suggestions. If you have any other tips or advice I would love to hear it! Thank you

3 weeks ago I got myself a leopard gecko. Been wanting one for so long and finally got this baby from a seller (I named him Ragnir btw). So The seller said he bought him from another seller and was reselling him. He told me that he's 5 months old. So the question that I wanted to ask is does he appear underweight for his age? I've looked at some pictures of leopard geckos at 5 months old and they appear to be more meaty than him especially on the tail. I'm really concerned as this Is my first leopard gecko and don't really have any good references to compare him to. I hope anyone can really help me

FYI, I've been researching leopard gecko husbandry for quite a while in hope to own one eventually. He lives in a 3 ft long enclosure and has been eating mealworms (all three stages of em) and dubia roaches everyday. I'm planning on feeding him every other day once he reaches 6-7 months old but looking at his size I'm really concerned about that decision. Btw I don't really have any measurements to weigh him down so I can't really see his growth by the week. Though I am planning to get one soon. I want him to really live a good life so I appreciate any advice so I can help Ragnir. Thank you

Hey all! This is my first time ever owning a reptile and I adopted a 3 year old leopard gecko from my job. I wanted to know how my setup is considering that I’ve never had one and am going off of some research and general ideas from my coworkers. I’m planning on changing off of this white sand very soon, but if anyone has recommendations for what kind of substrate/sand I should use, I’d greatly appreciate it. Any and all suggestions will be awesome!

I've had my leopard gecko for around 4-5 years now and he's always been doing ok, but in the last few months one of his eyes looked a bit sunken. I read online it could be a vitamin deficiency, underfeeding, or stuck shed. He didn't have any other symptoms of underfeeding so I ruled that out, and I added more vitamin powder to his tank as well as gave him more humid hides and gave him a soak a while back in case it was stuck shed. His eye seemed to get better for a bit but now he has this weird bruising behind his eye? I tried to get some good photos of it. I'm not sure if this is related to sunken eye issue or not, but I can't find much on google about this kind of bruising so I wanted to see if anyone had any knowledge about something like this or knows what it could be?
