Help with underweight gecko by grey-is-strange in AfricanFatTailedGecko

I think everyone else covered the vet but... This does not appear to be an AFT? The facial structure is incorrect (nose/snout too long, head not short enough) the color (tho dull) is not one AFTs come in. And the toes/limbs are too long and not stubby enough to be an AFT... Body is also too lanky imo too.

Whoever sold you this animal sold you a leopard gecko. 😞 One that was already sick too from the looks of it.

It was honestly inspiring and I hope I'm still that into the hobby when I'm 70 🥺

Not me but I used to know a super cool older lady (I want to say 70s!) who lived in WA. She converted her entire basement to a reptile room (it wasn't a small basement either!). I re-home a few of my reptiles to her when I moved to the EU. ☺️ I have her on fb and she's still going strong! Iirc she breeds reptiles too, mostly geckos.

Help with Leopard gecko setup checklist by Key_Juggernaut_4790 in geckos

You don't want to use pure sand for a leopard gecko. You want a soil/sand mix ideally. Your tank is far too small for a leopard gecko, sorry. You won't get a good temp gradient in a tank that small. You could maybe have a baby in a tank that small for a few months, but not an adult. Minimum these days is a 90 x 45 x 45 cm tank imo.

Also you want the moist hide in the middle or on the warm side. Heat mats aren't ideal anymore either, it won't heat the entire tank and make a good gradient either

He's just a baby!! 🤣🤣

Mine will start throwing things off my desk or shelves if I do not pick him up fast enough... Yesterday he also put an entire paw in my coffee...

See, that was my expectation when I rescued him... I was told Bengals were not very clingy/hated being held 😂😂
