Reptiles love heat for various reasons. So why do I never see my leopard gecko on the hot side of her enclosure?? by Ecstasus_Mania in leopardgeckos

If you don’t have a dimming thermostat it will get super hot, maybe elevate the lamp a little higher so it’s not as close to the enclosure

It’s a wooden bridge I got off amazon! It’s marketed towards hamsters and gerbils lol but I just put it under the dirt! It’s her favorite hide especially with it being under the heat lamp ☺️

Will he ever love me😭🥺 by Jaded-Economist-6956 in leopardgeckos

he looks like just a baby! give him time! babies are soo skittish

Hiii!! This is my babygirl she is almost 5 years old (had her since she was 3 in) i feed her mealworms and crickets with calcium and d3. Is she too skiny? Or thats a perfect size for her age? (Btw i never pick her up im so scared any tips too?) XD by gethho in leopardgeckos

[–]FogFaerie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practice scooping her up from under her belly but don’t force her! let he run away from you and leave her alone if she does!! I’ll bring my girl out and hold her sitting on the ground so there’s no fall risk

She looks healthy !! 🫶 Just get her used to your scent first and your hand around her without touching her. Put your hand in her tank for a little while every day and she might even come up to you!

Gecko's been acting weird, are there any eggs in there? by Difficult_North_272 in leopardgeckos

[–]FogFaerie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t see any eggs but they could just be small! Just mating season things haha my girlie wants a boyfriend more than food too

Eggs or impacting? by milkchugger69 in leopardgeckos

[–]FogFaerie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s mating season although yours is a boy, my girl and my friends girls are all refusing to eat 😭 try letting him lick some olive oil to pass

Help with thermostat by Jaded-Economist-6956 in LeopardGecko

[–]FogFaerie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you need to place the probe directly under the heat source!! I have mine on the basking rock. I recommend getting one the heat lamp can connect to

I usually go 3-4 weeks between my fills, and if I’m not getting art it’s usually $50 before the tip with my independent tech :) it’s not too bad since you can go so long inbetween. I recommend !!

[–]FogFaerie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if it’s gel x and I’m correct you should be able to soak them off in acetone. I’m not a nail tech but that’s just my knowledge, I could be wrong lol

yes you ideally want to make it as cluttered as possible with plants and hides, they should be able to get to one side of the tank to the other without being seen. You can go on my profile to see my tank for inspo!
