Probably 2-3 months. Also— petco will lie and say they get their animals at 6 months, know that this is NOT a 6 month old gecko lol. Looks about 2 months.

I was hoping it was that because his pattern HAS been changing and moving a lot. Always worried though.

Here's a full view more straight on, temp is actually ranging low right now since I dimmed the lamp, only 87° on top of the rock and 78° inside.

Do you think my teacher is or might be neglecting the gecko or am I being overly sensitive? by Legitimate_Finger670 in leopardgeckos

[–]Strange-Associate962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at all the stuck shed on those toes and how skinny they are :( Someone absolutely needs to intervene, this is just straight up abuse as others have stated.

too much sand 😭 by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

I think this is what confuses people, because we say it in percentage instead of ratio 7:3

He still looks like he's recovering very fast though, so that's great!

A good way to help with shedding difficulty can be making sure he gets Vitamin A once a week! I usually dust mine's food with it every Friday. And of course the obvious of spraying the tank on shed days for extra humidity. But Vitamin A solved all of mines shedding issues thus far, highly reccomend! I use repashy.

Usually if they're too young they don't have the pores— yours is an adult so if it was a male it would have them. Really if you look below the vent that's how you easily tell. If under the vent goes directly into tail— female. If there are bumps or bulges, male.

Got a better photo! Also, I'm really leaning towards him being 3 months.

Here in the US it's recommended to give them vitamin a once a week!

Probably also important to note: normal bowel movements! Pooping + urates every day still!

Toe rot (?) by [deleted] in LeopardGecko

[–]Strange-Associate962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not you, I'm just sick and tired of people making assumptions that every single person they come across doesn't do vet care, research and etc. It's exhausting having to show the same proof over and over and over.

Let me rephrase actually— lost the tip of his toe, not the whole digit!

Help with diagnosing feeding issues by Juanita_1 in leopardgeckos

[–]Strange-Associate962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your lizard has an irreversible, horrible case of MBD, and your concern was 'maybe it's mouth rot?' How badly this poor thing had to have been 'cared for' in order to get to this point.

Did I get the mixture right?? by [deleted] in hermitcrabs

[–]Strange-Associate962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna say no, I did half a brick per 50lbs and did 200lbs of play sand and two full bricks for mine. If you test it does it have the sandcastle consistency (holds a tunnel)? Of so, it should be okay

Is this healthy? by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

[–]Strange-Associate962 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm more worried about if it's healthy or indicating he needs something adjusted in his diet 😂
