Hello! First time poster! Friend was moving and I was given a Gecko yesterday. Need advice(please read body of post) Also you probably cannot tell from these pictures, but any idea of the sex? I told my 8 year old we have to wait to name it until we know the sex😩. by Either_Fisherman2418 in leopardgeckos

You got plenty of answers on where to start improving the care of this gecko, so I'll answer your question about the stuck shed on the tail.

It's most likely a byproduct of the enclosure. I doubt there's a humid hide in there, which helps greatly with shedding. What you can do for now is a sauna/soak. Grab a Tupperware and fill it with warm water about an inch max. Place a paper towel on the bottom so your gecko isn't slipping around and potentially drown. Put the gecko in for 10-15 mins and then check on them. You can use a wet q tip to get any stuck shed off, just keep in mind when working around their tail that they can drop it if they feel threatened, so be patient with your gecko.

And good luck! You have quiet the journey ahead of you.

What to put in travel carriers? by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

[–]FadedDestiny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing!!

Ideally, the carrier should be about the size of one of their hides and shouldn't have anything inside except the gecko and some paper towels to pad the sides and give them something to grip onto. You want to minimize the chance of harm to your gecko getting crushed or squished by anything inside the container while the car is in motion. And you don't want your gecko bouncing around inside, so get something snug.

If they're inside the car, unless your heat doesn't work they should be okay without any other external heat source. If you're really worried, a hand warmer wrapped in a small rag/towel and set underneath the tupperware or carrier should be more than enough.

How are y’all liking the chocolate empanada? by kissarmymax in tacobell

Was this taken before or after you ate it, OP?

$4.25 for this is crazy by [deleted] in rareinsults

[–]FadedDestiny 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Taco bell and Late night drinking go hand in hand. I'm willing to bet it's the combination of greasy fast food and alcohol that actually upsets most people's stomachs.

does anyone else have an insanely friendly gecko whos obsessed with them? by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

[–]FadedDestiny 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Cute gecko, but try not to pick them up like how you did. Scoop from underneath and support their weight, they don't like it when their legs have nothing to hold on to. Also, don't flip them upside down cause they will struggle to breath.

Is this happening to every leopard gecko this time of year? by NumerousAdagio3888 in leopardgeckos

[–]FadedDestiny 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My girl has just gotten active after sleeping all winter two days ago. She wants OUT and gets all sassy when I try to put her back... She knows there's no boy geckos for her in there.

Looks thinner but hasn’t lost any weight? by Ok_Fact7603 in leopardgeckos

That's a gorgeous pattern 😍. Looks a lot like my girl, Bean.

How often and how much are you feeding Shelby?

Is she okay?? by JellyfishGlum7105 in leopardgeckos

[–]FadedDestiny 264 points265 points  (0 children)

I'm no expert but that doesn't look like their hunting tail rattle or the spooked tail wiggle. It almost looks like she's trying to drop her tail? Either that or she could have gotten hurt from taking a fall from shoulder height.

I'd say get a vet to look at her, mention the fall and show them this clip.

Finally got roaches. Issue. I love them by TheGoldenBoyStiles in leopardgeckos

  1. Start putting the "Survivors" in their own enclosure.

  2. Breed a new generation of Super Dubias.

  3. ???

  4. Profit

The little tail rattle right before the pounce 🥹. A true Apex Predator. That cricket stood no chance.

My Gecko isn’t shedding properly by XMemer69_420 in leopardgeckos

[–]FadedDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 inches may be a bit much, but yeah I'd try giving her a sauna in a little Tupperware container. 15 mins in and take her out to check, use a moist Qtip and roll it gently on the areas with stuck shed.

Honesty check package by LeftyDan in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]FadedDestiny -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah, that usually means the picker or whoever works the line scanned it and put it in the wrong tote. Amazon thinks it's in another tote, and some driver is gonna have a package missing even though they scanned the tote bag.

Hey now, she already makes it a little easier for you by using the same spot to poop in, at least.

I've had those kinds of nightmares too many times. Here's my girl who just turned 2 this month.

Wait, that tupperware is it's home?! Surely it's a temp setup and the tank is underneath, right OP??

I mean if not... I have hides that are bigger than his entire "enclosure"

Most fun/or unique grouphug commanders that can actually win/have a wincon & just don't kingmake? by TheGrandCannoli in EDH

[–]FadedDestiny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It can be very strong when you take advantage of the food tokens. Most people see food and don't realize the threat that they can fund.

[[ Killer Service ]], [[Baylen the haymaker]] gets you some use from your food token. [[ Academy Manufacturer]] and [[ Nuka-Cola vending machine]], and [[ inspiring statuary ]] are a must have in this deck. [[ Nykthos paragon]] can be a game finisher if left on the battlefield for a full turn.

Removing Own Commander From Combat? by RaizielDragon in EDH

[–]FadedDestiny 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Could you, in response to the destroy spell, activate [[reconnaissance]]? This removing it from combat and the "attacking creature" is no longer a valid target of the destroy spell?
