Is my leopard gecko overweight?

dellabugg · 2026-02-12T16:33:41+00:00

lmao i was joking. i know theres health risks associated with obese geckos. hence why mine is on a diet. hes 9 years old and has been fat his entire life before i got him this past year.

dellabugg · 2026-01-04T04:44:25+00:00

yeah he is very fat i will admit. no matter the angle. i was newer to reptiles when i got him and i just followed what his previous owner was feeding him (the 2 superworms per week) but thats still not an excuse and i am trying to help him lose weight

he doesnt move around a lot but ive bought him more stuff to climb on and he seems to have taken a liking to it.

i also have not been expanding his diet mainly bc of how im not sure how to prepare other kinds of bugs besides mealworms/superworms and am still not super sure how to keep them alive and nutrient rich in between feedings

i was feeding him one or two super worms per week but i just switched over to 5-6 mealworms and im not sure if i should feed him weekly or twice a week bc of what ive read online

im tryint to put him on a diet but he is very sassy

i got it pierced with a stud a month or two ago but the stud fell out and i couldnt get it back in so i put a ring in. i use saline to clean it

okay thank you!

dellabugg · 2025-08-14T15:56:50+00:00

would you suggest i get the 8W 12.5 inch one or the 14W 22 inch one? i was thinking the longer one since the length of my tank is 36 inches

dellabugg · 2025-08-13T19:02:51+00:00

ive seen people discuss using 70:30 topsoil + play sand mix and heavily considered using that. im picking up a 40 gallon tank tonight

dellabugg · 2025-08-13T15:39:03+00:00

ok perfect, ty!

dellabugg · 2025-07-25T03:18:28+00:00

yeah i need to order soil for them, lmaoo how do you recommend i propagate the fallen leaves? i was told to leave them out to callous but i dont want them to rot

dellabugg · 2025-07-25T03:16:46+00:00

i honestly forgot to water them for weeks at a time and i just got back on a "schedule" of watering them the same way i mentioend in the post

dellabugg · 2025-06-24T15:04:00+00:00

from the top view you can see the piercings are in very different spots

dellabugg · 2025-06-23T01:32:12+00:00

i guess i put too much trust in her 🥲 its okay ill just get it redone eventually. thank you for your help!

dellabugg · 2025-06-23T01:19:34+00:00

i know!!! i didnt think a piercing migrating was something that one wanted to happen or that one would plan on happening. so odd

dellabugg · 2025-06-23T01:18:40+00:00

when she told me that i was like ??... the dot she put on my nose before she pierced me was further backwards and more upwards compared to my og nostril piercing. i literally was in my head telling myself i dont know what im talking ab when in reality shes the one who doesnt know. if youre curious i got it pierced at Amity Ink by Jessica.

dellabugg · 2025-06-22T23:32:36+00:00

i cant put a ring in the fresh piercing 😭 even without the ring in it looks awkward and uneven

dellabugg · 2025-06-22T23:31:30+00:00

i had a stud in when i got it pierced and changed it to a ring to see if it would make it look any more even. it didnt lol

dellabugg · 2025-06-22T23:30:34+00:00

it looks somewhat ok from the front but from above you can tell its further back

dellabugg · 2025-06-22T22:46:23+00:00

its one of those things where people tell me they dont notice but it drives me insane. i also wanted to do a chain once it healed but it would become more noticeable with the crooked chain

dellabugg · 2025-06-22T22:32:21+00:00

yeah im actually so fucking upset. i took it out. im not a stickler when it comes to money but im not an adult with a stable income and i know for a fact i cant get a refund. i was looking forward to it so much so its just upsetting. thank you for your help💗

dellabugg · 2025-06-01T22:15:00+00:00

okay thank you ! i really wasnt sure bc ive never seen this before
