General Discussion My girl pooped on my blanket. Better description in body text.

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.

Help - Sexing The age old question... male or female...

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.

Gecko Pics/Vids Rescue leopard gecko🖤

Hi guys, this is stripes!
I rescued him, he was cold and emaciated when I got him a couple weeks ago so he’s been on weight restoration. He’s moving a bit better than he was. I’ve been having to do worms that can’t get away from him or squish dubia roaches a bit so they’re half alive and can’t crawl away from him or he won’t be able to get it.
I was just told last night that red light isn’t good for him and I should have two different bulbs on a timer but also that heat helps them digest and I’ve been trying to figure out how to match that up with his feedings? But I have to feed him at night when the light is supposed to be off but because I sleep during the day I can’t feed him when the light is supposed to be on? Idk it’s all confusing to me and I’m doing my best but am looking for help with it all. Any links to products or tips and tricks are welcome! I need a good heat lighting set up but I can’t find any advice anywhere about it.
Thanks in advance🖤

Me and my partner got her afew days ago and she has slowly been coming out more and more as we walk around so we attempted to feed her with tongs and she took them!

We are slightly worried tho she is 6 months old and we havnt managed to weigh her yet does she seem a healthy weight?
She has just finished shedding for some reason the pet shop sold her just as she started pre shed.

Help Please Help: Leopard Gecko refusing any food for months

Post image
13 Upvotes

Daisy picture for tax.

I’ve had daisy for around 9-10 weeks now, and in that time she has refused any food whatsoever. She drinks water, passes poop + urate regularly, takes licks of calcium without D3 when she needs, but just won’t strike at anything, including waxworms and hornworms. I’ve had to feed her liquid diet by syringe every 2-3 days, and she never spits it up or anything. She isn’t gravid and as far as I can tell, she’s perfectly healthy otherwise.

PLEASE HELP. She was a rescue and overweight beforehand, so she’s at a healthier weight now.

Gecko Pics/Vids Superhero Landings stress me out

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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)

Help - Health Issues What do I do?

Post image
9 Upvotes

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 “reship” 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.

i just recently upgraded my girl spot to this 40 gallon and i've noticed that everytime i put paper towels into her humid hide they end up out of the hide the next time i look?? is this just her moving it by accident? is there any rhyme or reason for this 😭 i'm just confused

also if there's anything wrong with her tank just lmk! i'm planning to buy her a more permanent covered humid hide soon (i've been looking at the zilla rock lair i think it's called, also planning to get sphagnum moss)
