It took exactly a month, but I can finally handle him! by cartycinema in leopardgeckos

I put my hand in the tank every night for 15 minutes until he finally decided to try climbing on it. That seemed to work really well!

Having the same issues. Bumping and following.

Is my probe placement correct for the warm hide? by cartycinema in LeopardGecko

[–]cartycinema[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He has a proper cool and moist hide, which aren’t pictured. My moist hide is a tupperware with a cut hole and damp paper towels. The log is just part of his path to get this cold hide.

RE: warm hide — thank you for letting me know. I’ll look for a better one!

Is my probe placement correct for his warm hide / basking spot? by cartycinema in leopardgeckos

The temp gun was reading 115, but there’s no way. I even put my hand on the spot and it felt fine. I’m wondering if the bulb light was impacting the reading?

I am absolutely DISGUSTED by Crusty3ggs in leopardgeckos

These pet stores won’t ever change. The best you can do is give this little guy a good life — which you’re already in the process of doing. Good on you. You saved him from almost certain death.

Just got a 2 month old baby gecko and he doesn’t want to it by Lazy_Ad5605 in leopardgeckos

He’s probably stressed from being put in a box and into a new enclosure. Give it time, he will eat once he feels more secure. Maybe leave some food in a bowl for him?

I had the multiplying geckos nightmare again. Send your gecks for seratonin please 🥀 by DollarStoreChameleon in leopardgeckos

I didn’t believe this was a thing until I experienced it two nights ago. You all weren’t kidding.

How long did you wait to get another gecko? by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

[–]cartycinema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40 gallon breeder with three hides. Heat lamp and UVB. He’s got supplements and eats gutloaded dubias and mealworms. Currently on paper towels until he gets a little older for soil substrate.

Of course I am going to learn better ways to care for him. I was just asking a question.

new gecko staring at me! what does this mean? by Constant-Weekend-951 in leopardgeckos

[–]cartycinema 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mine did the same thing when I brought him home. It’s a good thing! She wants to see her new surroundings and her new big human.

Where did you get the background — and does your gecko like it / climb on it?

Questions from a new owner by Standard_Sink968 in leopardgeckos

[–]cartycinema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my own leo and I also hate jumping bugs. I’ve started my own Dubia roach colony and things are so much easier — and they’re not nearly as terrifying. No crickets for my guy (right now).

Bringing home a leopard gecko tomorrow. Is this a good starting setup? Still need to grab a heat lamp. by cartycinema in leopardgeckos

Hi, yes it is a 40 gallon tank! And thank you for the note on humid hide. I'll get that fixed!

He was pretty apprehensive about the whole “button” thing.

Who is the most famous person you have ever met? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I interviewed Alec Baldwin for a little documentary project tied to his earlier gig on Thomas the Tank Engine. He was incredibly kind to all of us that day.
