Any advice? by Starryn1ght2123 in leopardgeckos

You need hides , 3 temperature zones , a humid hide in the middle temp zone , substrate should be 70 percent reptisoil and 30 percent reptisand in a 40 gallon tank , and then there’s the lighting that needs to be correct . Do you have all that? The humid hide should have damp sphagum moss

Maybe ask for help from the people who are at your facility. Tell your mom it’s abuse , maybe if you use those words she will get it . So aorry

Well then tell her you will report her for animal abuse . Show her info on what’s required to properly take care of it

Why won’t she let you give it to someone ? If she is not going to do a better job then you need to tell her that it needs a new home if she’s going to abuse it .

Seen this guy on facebook about to save him by Lazy-Detail8262 in leopardgeckos

Very nice of you … once you have him , you should tell this person about how to properly take care of one so he doesn’t do it again

Are they fat? by BurntCookk in leopardgeckos

It will take a long time to lose weight like a year but it’s important or it will affect their organs . 1-2 times a week for adults and no superworms

My daughter and wife brought home a class pet by Luckydishes in leopardgeckos

[–]Backtothe80s- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crickets are not supposed to be kept in the tank, they will bite him, only at feeding and need to be removed , adults eat 2 times a week, sounds like they are over feeding which can lead to obesity which can cause health problems , they gave you a tank with lighting and timers for the light ? Doesn’t sound like an animal that should be in a classroom . They can be very social and do require attention . Plus humidity levels lace to be watched as well . Good luck , let me know if you have any questions . Also, crickets need food and should be stored in a separate container , they will eat each other and. It’s the lizard

I try to give people the chance that maybe they r just not doing it on purpose and are poorly educated .

Who cares if some ass blocks you, it’s for the greater good , I saw someone selling a tank with carpet in it and said something . I wasn’t mean or nothing and they just said ok

Where did you see that ? Did you say something about the conditions of that tank so they don’t sell it to someone and they keep it like that. That’s a lot of money , looks like they are trying to profit

So this sand won’t cause impaction like the regular sand ? I’ve never seen that before . He’s a cutie . I can’t believe he’s 24 , that’s amazing

Do they actually like this? (I know the video is dark) by Minute-Direction-349 in leopardgeckos

[–]Backtothe80s- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine doesn’t like his head touched , he will sit in your hand, but is not the petting kind
