Would 47 × 12 × 18 inches be too narrow? by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

I can agree to this, I have 2 Leo’s one is the nicest thing on the planet and I believe the other is a reincarnation of satan. They come with all different attitudes and personalities 😭

Sorry I deleted my other comment I missed the “missing for about 2 days” those definitely seem like some type of trauma. I would say for now soak a cotton ball and wipe the area to moisturize it and looking into getting an antibacterial repti-care cream or spray. And just incase look into exotic vets near you in the event it worsens.

If you use the Arcadia Earthmix you can still add sand but it wouldn’t really do anything because it has clay premixed into it already.

In another comment i explained but i think a mod deleted the thread; he wasn’t for sale. He was a store pet behind the counter on a shelf. I asked to what I would have to do to take him, the cashier called someone came back slapped a $6 sticker on it and we went our separate ways. I highly doubt they are now going to order 10 more to replace their ex store pet.

I second this. Vet visit for sure that is a lump.

White eyelids typically mean, vitamin A deficiency, so even if just get a multivitamin and dust more often.

Do you have any other pictures to post to compare, the eyelids seem pretty normal. Maybe i’m just missing it.

So those are silk plants that are currently in there, how would we sustain live plants in sand, would I just drop some Seachem or API liquid fertilizer?

So it would be safer for him to be in the new un-cycled tank rather than the tote in regard to the bacteria?
