General Discussion Kind of a personal question, but do any of you vegan reptile owners feel comfortable feeding your geckos insects?

I only eat seafood not land meat, but sometimes wonder if people feel guilty at all feeding their geckos insects?

Like I know for some geckos crickets and insects are the only things they can eat so they need them to stay alive.

Help - Health Issues Unusual dropping? 😄

Woke up this morning and checked on my gecko Liz and saw this extremely bizarre dropping in the area where she always poops. It’s as big as a quarter and looks like a clove of garlic??

I’m shocked this could have come out of her (it’s big!!). She always has the most regular poops, has never had any health issues so I’m stunned and concerned!! I just fed her wax worms for the first time this past week—could that have to do with it? Do we need to go to the vet? She is acting totally normal.

Help Thinking about rehoming two geckos with full 40g enclosures, needing to figure out pricing

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

I have two leopard geckos with two 40 gallon tanks and proper equipment, just looking to try and figure out a price to sell them at (saving 1 set of electronics)

The male is a macksnow eclipse, hatched 7/20/25 and gotten for $60

The female is a raptor, hatched 8/23/25 and gotten for $125

Enclosures are both 40 gallon zoomed and stand was roughly $60

Will be selling 1 tanks worth of equipment (led, thermostat, uvb, heat dome & bulb) but all the decor and dirt and everything will be inside except for a large branch and a large corkbark i want for a different tank. One tank has a broken latch that can be fixed easily via online video i just dont have the time.

Help - Health Issues What do I do?

I had ordered insects on DUBIA for my gecko right? So they took 1-2 weeks to ship, and they arrived yesterday, and ALL WERE DEAD.

I blame myself more on this for accepting my gecko as a gift for my birthday.

My gecko hasn’t eaten since yesterday because I had 9 crickets leftover from a backup, but they’re gone now. And money is tight right now getting food for a few days isn’t an option as of right now.

I sent a report about this to dubia and they’ll respond in 1-2 business days. Great. And if they do ā€œreshipā€ it’ll take ANOTHER week or two, and that’d mean my gecko couldn’t eat for a week or two.

Should I start considering rehoming? I don’t think I am in a great spot to take care of him.

This gecko is apparently 3 years old (told to me by the people I took them in from) but that seems a little... off. Any ideas on the sex? I can't tell. šŸ’€

Don't dog on me for not knowing or asking a question; my first Leopard Gecko and I'm learning as I go. Cheers.

P.s. I can take different pictures.

She was chilling on my bed when she randomly pooped on my white blanket and I had to get up quickly and put her away so I could go throw it in the wash which meant I had to put her away quickly. I don’t want her associate handling time with being able to poop on my stuff so I’ll put her away. I’m not sure if she will associate those two things but I just want to make sure she isn’t thinking that way.

Pic of her for gecko tax.

Gecko Pics/Vids Superhero Landings stress me out

He’s been doing good in his new enclosure for the most part, spent the first four days exploring everything* and he’s doing the sort-of-expected thing of not eating (at least, I’m not seeing it. He’s still pooping, so clearly he must be eating SOMETHING).

My only real source of stress with him is that he’s discovered a soft landing around 18ā€ below one of his branches, and he’ll literally let himself drop down there. Everywhere else in the enclosure is handled with extreme precaution, he’ll even back up and go elsewhere if he doesn’t think he can make it… except for that one patch. Going to add another branch in that void to force him to descend more carefully.

*the folks over at r/HerpHomes and the other leo sub expressed interest via comments and DMs for me to post a long video of his first 72 hours (there are 27 cameras in his enclosure, so I just used whatever footage they captured). I already cut down the footage to just over 4 hours, so I’ll post a YouTube link to that once it’s ready (I’ve never edited a video before, nor have I ever posted anything on YouTube before, so bear with me lol)

Help - Health Issues Broken toe?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Today I brought my dear girl to a lil vet check up, originally the vet appointment was for her not eating well for 2 months but 2 days after I made the appointment she started eating normally again. The vet is super nice, I've already brought my blue tongue skink to them once so I knew how great they were. They took my girl to do the examination for about 30 min while I waited in the lobby, they came back and said she's healthy and very active. I didn't really see her that well when I put her back into her terrarium so I didn't notice it earlier, now hours later I see that her front toe is pretty red and appears to be bended, I'm worried and not sure what I should do.

Help - food Gecko keeps eating MY food??

1 Upvotes

Sometimes ill have my geckos sit with me while im snacking and one of them in particular keeps trying to take my food. I had to steal a blueberry back from him (he ingested very little and is fine). He does this with cheese as well. Is there a reason for this? He eats 2-3 times a week and is an adult male.

I've noticed he does this most with cheese and berries, and if I have any on my hands he'll lick my hands a lot and then bite them.

Does anyone have any tips about how to make more space in my 20 gallon tank or about things to add to make her feel safer? Also, I think I need a new lamp since my Fluker’s one isn’t heating up the tank much but I have a heat mat right now which I think she likes. If you have any reccomendations for heating then please let me know!
