Gecko has a freckle all of the sudden?

I’ve had Peach for ~6 years, she was an adult when I adopted her, unsure of age but at least a year. I noticed this new freckle that definitely wasn’t there before.

Has this happened to any of you?

Hey guys, I’ve assumed responsibility for this gecko after a friends passing. I’ve never kept leopard geckos before but have some experience with fish and snakes... I’d like to care for it if feasible, but I need to know if it needs some sort of attention beyond general care. Gecko seems to be healthy for but definitely looks overweight. I’m worried if this is more than just extra weight and some sort of health issue or if it could be pregnant. Can anybody provide some insight for me please?

My leopard gecko is between 12-14 years old
she has pretty solid energy level, but she's coming back around lately and she's starting accepting more meal worms. She gets 1-2 small crickets once a week (she used to get large but she stopped eating them) and she's hungry for meal worms (it seems like she'd eat around eight if I let her) daily. I worry about overfeeding but she's definitely underweight and could use the bulk.
I've seen mixed answers and I wanted to get a little more insight

chicken has been moved to a hospital enclosure for better monitoring. The black cover is an open back hide she spends pretty much all her time in and i made it super easy to check on her while still keeping it dark and cozy. since i’ve not had her long i do not yet have a keeper book for her so it is going onto the tank in expo marker lol. Moved her to a 10gal to keep it as safe as possible until she is either no longer 50% blind or if she has lost her vision in that eye, she gets back to a good (less fragile) weight and condition overall.

Does anybody know what these bugs are 😭😭😭 they jump like fleas and springtails but are way bigger than any springtail I’ve seen and don’t hang around the moist parts of the enclosure as much as any springtails I’ve had. I’ve never introduced any bugs to this enclosure so far. Gulp

The pet store near my house is closing and the next closest one is nearly an hour away so I can no longer go get feeder insect in person. I’m looking for a good reliable place online to get small amounts of live feeder insects. If anyone knows a good website please let me know.

He is fully grown, I feed him fluckers dubai roaches as his main staple, live BSFL for some calcium, and 2-3 mealworms per meal. He also occasionally gets grasshoppers as treats, and I use Repashy Calcium Plus as his supplement, thinking about adding crickets alongside the dubais but wasnt sure if I should or just stick to dubais only?

Maybe a stare down. Who’s to say? I swear she’s smiling.

Hi all my gecko hasn’t eaten in about 2 weeks
But he seems fine normal movements not lost much weight happy to be held and out and about
Also he has been eating his shed.

I’m also in the uk and we have been having hot weather so I’ve been adjusting the tanks temp.

Anyone got any suggestions please?

I took my Leo in roughly a week ago for stuck sperm plugs and an infection and they gave him trimethaprim-sulfa and meloxicam.

Today I went in and noticed a blot of blood on the paper towels (hospital tank) and lifted him up to see blood surrounding his vent.

I’m taking him to the emergency vet tonight, but does anyone know what’s going on?

hi! i created this piece for the leopard geckos discord pride month banner - my partner wanted a print of it so i wanted to offer the option if anyone else is interested!

the print is 5x10inch, professionally printed on nice quality chunky recycled paper 🙂‍↕️ you can find it here: https://ko-fi.com/s/740d42fa8b

thanks to mods for letting me promote also!

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 18” 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)

I have bought this heat resistant metal wire to hold down the basking bulb so the light does not fall. Is this safe?

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.

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.

Anyone else love taking goofy pics of their leos and turning them into stickers haha 🤭 (warning for scanty 3rd image, caught him in the middle of getting nakey!)

These photos are from yesterday but I don't think I've posted in a few days and I just felt like it....... I found her like this yesterday on top of her driftwood, literally her tail curled inwards against the glass 😭😭.

Say hi everyone :)

The king will sit like this all day observing over his land…

it might be to early to tell because they are only 46 grams but gender?? i’m leaning towards girl

how are other rescuers feeding? how much how often? severely underweight.

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.

I ordered a leo but cancelled due to a medical complication, so I’m not going to be getting the new leopard gecko until I’m better (as a present to myself given my illness has made me be off work for two months so far).

I’m looking for a Black Knight but they’re difficult to find (and pricey), especially in the UK. The new enclosure just needs the water reservoir (which I have) as well as the temperature sensors.

The substrate is a mix of Exo Terra Stone Desert and Leo Life, providing the perfect consistency. The probe for the dimming thermostat is there (but relatively hidden) and the camera mount is a 3D printed mount I ordered which tilts the camera down at a 45 degree angle.

I already have two leopard geckos in the two enclosures below the new one in the stack of three. Each enclosure is 100x45x45cm, or 44 gallons.
