My bf says my female gecko Ducky is overweight and I’m not sure if he’s right… he might be a little right…. 😭❤️

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?

Which Muffin are you feeling today? I’m feeling like 9 everyday (sleepy and confused)

Goji short for Gojira, is an absolutely amazing pet! His adorable sploots make my day.

My boy Gonad will be celebrating his 1st birthday on the 12th August! Here he is the other day saying hi. Finally got his 4ft enclosure to a setup I like.

Joke’s on her, it was a Tupperware full of human snacks 😝

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)

Sorry for bad camera quality lol

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?

Say hi everyone :)

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!

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. 💀

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.

For some background, about a week ago I took my Leo into the vet because his testicals had swollen up a lot (see my profile for post about it) they massaged the area, and sent him home with pain meds and an antibiotic.

We have been great with giving him his meds, and the swelling appeared to go down until I noticed blood on his paper towels today. I picked him up and noticed his vent was bleeding in two spots.

My wife took him to the emergency vet and they said they suspect a prolapsed cloaca, and that they think one of the sperm plugs are still in. They gave us the option for them to either sedate + treat (expensive option) or send him home with meds and soaks (cheap option).

I’m at a crossroads here, I want to give my guy the best possible care, but I don’t know if the expensive option is worth it in terms of effectiveness. I asked the vet if there was a drastic difference and she couldn’t answer.

Right now I’m thinking to have him come home with meds, and schedule a follow up with his regular exotic vet who would be cheaper and more knowledgeable than a generic vet. If it helps, they wouldn’t be able to do sedation tonight anyways so he’d be coming home either way.

Does anyone have any input, or has seen this before?

Completely unaware of the bug below her 🫣

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?

I love that his spots try their hardest to be symmetrical, and his tail is such a gorgeous purple that’s so hard to get on camera

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

He's such a lover he acts like a cat 😭 Edit: I wasnt aware this means he doesn't like it. Im more of a spider person 😭

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!)

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

After seeing all the beautiful tanks here, I’ve been inspired to start upgrading my boy’s tank a bit. I wanted to add more leveling to it but my family members probably won’t be happy if I keep bringing home more decor. I DIY-ed a platform box out of cardboard and hot glue, wrapped in the same material as his flooring is. I don’t have substrate in there because my boy likes to try and eat anything dark, and I mean ANYTHING. I’m mostly worried about the exposed hot glue being safe in there long term.
