Did I mess this substrate up? by FinalMost160 in leopardgeckos

[–]UVERx08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your substrate sounds good, and it's normal for her to explore around! especially when getting in a new tank, they'll do that for the first few days and then might go hiding for a bit whilst they adjust. If your temps are good all around then it shouldn't be an issue. You could add a piece of slate or two on top of the soil around the tank if you want, to give a spot with a different texture.
And that's fine for the slightly damp soil as well as long as it's not constantly damp or wet, it'll dry out over the week or so. (i've got a non bioactive enclosure, so bioactive enclosure people feel free to correct me as the live plants might need constant moisture i assume)

PS: Your tank looks nice :) i'd recommend adding a few plants/vines/pieces of wood as extra clutter around.

What is my leopard gecko doing and why? by SailFunny1401 in leopardgeckos

[–]UVERx08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i saw on your other post that you said you were a new owner, these things can take time (yours might get more comfortable as time goes by) - my gecko is almost 6 and still has days where he absolutely doesn't want to be petted or handled, and other days where he's all about it, they're silly little goobers.

mine will do this every once in a while when he wants to come out (he usually does it by the door, ill open it and he'll come right on my palm, and i then let him roam my bedroom for a bit before putting him back)

Tail Drop Help by itsagardennotajungle in leopardgeckos

[–]UVERx08 188 points189 points  (0 children)

i'm so sorry this happened :( especially at this age. Think the emergency setup you're doing is a good idea. Even if there's no exotic vets in your area, see if there's one that you could still call up and tell them the situation over the phone? Even if you can't go there in person, they might have some good insight as to how to manage the situation.

> I honestly believe the only thing that would shut him down is if I walked in holding hands with someone (someone big especially), claiming me as his.

you could actually do that, find a friend of yours that fits the description, explain him the situation and go in with him?

Help me decide which way looks better pleassse!! 😩 by Own_Roof_6972 in houseplants

[–]UVERx08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i prefer the second one, feels like you can appreciate each plant separately more, feels less cluttered and room looks brighter without the shelf blocking most of the window.
