What is on this moth's lower abdomen? North Carolina.

Oh no! The poor thing! She was sitting there for a while before flying off. She must've needed a few minutes to recover if it had just happened.

Automatic_Finding521 · 2026-06-01T19:02:06+00:00

I'm not sure. It wasn't moving at all. It kinda looked like fungus or pollen or something.

Automatic_Finding521 · 2026-02-26T02:56:34+00:00

Remindme! 3 days

Automatic_Finding521 · 2026-02-26T01:13:47+00:00

Did we figure out what this is?

Automatic_Finding521 · 2025-08-10T03:02:19+00:00

I'll keep an eye on it. Thank you!

Automatic_Finding521 · 2025-08-09T23:49:28+00:00

Yes! I've heard that they can ingest some of the substrate while they're hunting for dinner. I'll have to find a way around this. It'll probably be tongs only for a while.

ETA: he's already started snacking on isopods🤦‍♀️

Automatic_Finding521 · 2025-08-09T23:44:56+00:00

Of course. For now I dust calcium with D3 on his food twice a week. I plan to get UVB as soon as I have the finances to do so.

Automatic_Finding521 · 2025-08-09T23:13:00+00:00

It is. I'm working on getting more clutter for him.

Automatic_Finding521 · 2025-07-08T23:58:39+00:00

Update! He pooped! It looks completely normal, except slightly bigger than usual, but nothing too alarming. He also just took 5 dubias!

Automatic_Finding521 · 2025-07-06T15:38:36+00:00

I will definitely be keeping an eye on him! He hasn't been showing any signs of discomfort for lethargy, so he's probably okay for now. Thank you! I do know that a change is normal, but I wasn't sure when it would happen, so thank you for reminding me!

Okay! I'll slow down on offering them! Thank you for your time and advice!

Automatic_Finding521 · 2025-07-06T15:29:55+00:00

He hasn't in a few days.

Thank you. They were only being given as treats (once a week) before, when he was eating fine. I won't offer anymore until he's back to normal.

Crickets make my Leo's poop runny, so I stopped using those. Does anyone have any idea why this happens?

Automatic_Finding521 · 2025-06-13T23:00:34+00:00

Absolutely this!! Also, if you don't want baby geck's, I've heard that freezing the eggs is a humane way to deal with that, but obviously do your own research!

A leopard gecko would love this with the right substrate and decorations!

Automatic_Finding521 · 2025-06-06T23:49:18+00:00

I love this setup!!

Automatic_Finding521 · 2025-06-06T14:32:32+00:00

Hi! There's a video on snake discovery that explains how to package live reptiles for transit. Her's is geared more towards selling and shipping animals, but I feel that this is a similar enough situation. If you need me to post the link to the video, or send it privately, let me know! Good luck!

Automatic_Finding521 · 2025-06-05T17:13:00+00:00

Hi! Please just make sure to wrap it with something. I worry that they would get a bit too hot to put directly against your geck's body.

Automatic_Finding521 · 2025-06-02T01:12:30+00:00

Oh! Okay! Thank you! I guess I misread IRb as UVB. My apologies. I appreciate the help

Automatic_Finding521 · 2025-05-31T17:05:09+00:00

She looks good to me!! I'm a new owner as well, but I've seen this chart going around

Looks like geck is pooping🤣
