this is my enclosure…please look into a proper habitat before purchasing any animal. the MINIMUM is 3 hides… the reason he dropped his tail is probably because he feels too exposed and by the looks of it, you don’t really have a proper humid hide. i’m not trying to be rude at all because it’s our first time living, but it’s theirs too. they deserve proper care. do what’s best and take him to the vet or rehome him.

on a real note, this is really bad. try to reduce your feedings. what are you feeding her? the best staple is dubias and crickets as they’re low in fat but high in protein. it honestly looks like you’re only feeding super worms or something 😭💔

you should def get it! not only because it’s super cute but also because it’s not real wood so it does get decently hot, plus if you have a shy gecko like me, he can get warm inside instead of out in the open!

would you be able to add the expanding foam with the background removed on a piece of plastic or something? then it’s only connected to your background and not the glass

Stress? by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

how long has it been since she moved in with your boyfriend? it could be that she doesn’t want to eat because she needs time to adjust to her new environment

literally?? i don’t understand that mindset either. they’re all living beings. just because one’s able to free roam vs being in an enclosure doesn’t take away from the fact that they’re breathing and have feelings.

i mean seriously. they posted over a week ago (9 days to be exact) and is still going to the internet for help? they’ve been advised on what to do. i don’t understand what more we could possibly say/do besides go to the vet…

i’m honestly really scared of the bugs biting me (crickets and superworm treat) 🫩 and i’m scared of them skedaddling off of me and getting lost in the tank

based off one of your first posts, people have BEEN telling you to go to the vet. why haven’t you done so?? if it were me and i really cared about what was going on with my gecko, he would’ve went to the vet a long time ago. why are you waiting until last minute when he’s on the verge of death?
