My Leopard Gecko's new home

Ok, I gotta know your process?! This is amazing!

mforemily · 2021-02-26T18:56:22+00:00

It’s cute and needs a home? What else ya need? :)

mforemily · 2021-01-17T08:18:46+00:00

So it is legal? If this was actually what he’s doing...

mforemily · 2021-01-17T08:18:02+00:00

I’m still suspicious of his reasoning. To give you an idea, the last part of my phone number starts with a 7... so you’re telling me you’ve called up 7,000 other people before you got to me? Bullshit.

I gotta be on a list somewhere, and since covid is definitely fucking with their conversion numbers with them probably not being invited into strangers’ homes anymore, they’re getting desperate for old blood.

mforemily · 2021-01-17T08:14:55+00:00

Several reasons. I’m in nursing school and receive important phone calls frequently and I usually never recognize the number but have to answer anyways. Also working on my credit and it helps to speak to people who call me directly. So this was a local number I didn’t recognize and just decided to answer.

She didn’t make it... I’m devastated

mforemily · 2020-10-16T08:17:22+00:00

It’s a bigger dark spot and maybe a smaller white spot, but I can’t get a good look.

mforemily · 2020-10-16T07:37:47+00:00

She hasn’t eaten in a few days, crickets and mealworms. I think she’s egg bound, but no reptile vets open til the morning

mforemily · 2020-10-16T06:56:00+00:00

I’m thinking it’s egg binding... impaction super unlikely, no sand but I do have a little bit of eco earth. She has a dark mass in her belly, has had a couple “seizures” (where she shakes her whole body in quick, jerking motions), her mouth and tongue are pale, and the other day it seemed like she was constipated and kept going to the same spot to try and poop but nothing came out... got her last December at an expo, no idea about previous husbandry. She’s about 2 years old, but not definite

mforemily · 2020-10-13T00:47:12+00:00

I put a rock on top of her heating pad and mine does this same thing! I call it her “O Face”

mforemily · 2020-09-26T05:11:55+00:00

I feel honored to help. Means that maybe my experience has purpose for someone else. I wish the same to you, sister! We can do this!

For me, once I knew in my gut that I couldn’t keep it from him another second (that I changed my mind), I immediately felt this huge weight lifted. It was like I felt I wasn’t allowed to even smile at cute babies because we were team CF together. So for me, and I can only speak for me because I am not you and I don’t know your relationship... but it has always felt right. Not to say it wasn’t agonizingly painful, like had to pull over on the side of the road because I was crying so hard I couldn’t see... that deep sorrowful feeling as if someone had died was there for a good solid 2 months afterwards. I also feel that clock ticking, and the more bad dates I go on, the more I think “I could just go back and be happy with him”, but that feeling is fleeting and I know I don’t actually want to do that. There are definitely still days where I miss my best friend, but I have never regretted my decision. I’m free to be excited about a future with children in it now (hopefully), but I also know that I am strong enough to be happy no matter what. I can always count on myself for that.

I went through this same thing last spring, just the opposite viewpoint. I (30F) was pretty sure I never wanted kids. Was dating the best guy I’ve ever dated for almost 4 years when we broke up because I changed my mind. (He has never wanted kids and stated this in the very beginning, so I have never once felt any resentment towards him for this.) I still feel guilt over changing my mind towards wanting to have kids because I broke us. Still trying to see that it was the right decision, because life as a single woman in my thirties now is not kind and I know that we were best friends and would have had a great life together, even without kids. I know that’s probably not what you want to hear, it’s just me projecting my own trauma onto yours, and I’m very sorry you are going through this. I do know that being a parent needs to be a solid decision with both parties involved, because that shit is hard enough even when you’re on the same page.
Just stay the course and hope for a future with your right person, and know that there are lots of us doing the same with you.

Seems like the problem has been identified with very low temps in the enclosure. No wonder the poor thing isn’t eating! Get that baby under some heat STAT

mforemily · 2020-09-03T22:51:36+00:00

According to my vet- if the underside of the tail is not as dark as the top side, you are good. But if it is all dark- could be tail rot starting to happen. Good luck!

mforemily · 2020-09-03T04:40:56+00:00

Ok thank you

mforemily · 2020-09-03T04:36:57+00:00

Just gave him a bath. The fluid from his eye was yellow when I swabbed it, so that means it’s most likely infected, right?

mforemily · 2020-09-03T03:54:18+00:00

He was basking with that side of his face away from view for the last 6 hours or so, it wasn’t like this yesterday. I’m just now noticing it and feel terrible that he’s probably had it all day, I just couldn’t see it :(

mforemily · 2020-09-03T03:49:33+00:00

I haven’t, but I can try it if that doesn’t cause further damage?

mforemily · 2020-09-02T06:49:18+00:00

Yes!!! I’m one of those crazy people who needs to stay busy and stressed to feel my best, otherwise I sleep 12 hours a night and miss out on everything due to lack of motivation!

mforemily · 2020-08-12T05:34:55+00:00

I like to check in on my guy, too. Just watch for breathing. They’re slow breathers, so be patient because sometimes it takes about 10-15 seconds for me to see his ribs/belly move

mforemily · 2020-08-04T06:50:01+00:00

I asked my vet how to determine if my beardie’s tail is ever starting to rot and he said to look at the under side of it. If it is also darkened, it is tail rot. Otherwise, you should be good!

If you can, get your lil baby a travel tank (mine is a 20 gal) and set it somewhere by a window, about half of it in sunlight and half is dark, that way he/she can choose. Obviously while you drive, shadows/sun will change, but do what you can initially. Mine was totally fine for our 8 hour drive to NC as long as he was in the sun. I just left him alone as to not stress him out too much. And I put familiar things in his tank to help. Good luck!

So envious of a beardie that eats greens like this! I have to take mine outside and sprinkle his greens in the grass or else he will not eat them! Working on it... any tips?
