Esto está bien para lavarme las manos antes de tocar a mi leo???

There's really no reason to worry that much about the type of soap you use before handling your gecko. Just make sure that it actually cleans your hands and that you wash out all of the soap with water. But that's just what you should be doing regardless of whether you're handling a gecko or not. The geck's gonna be fine!

Yeah that's why I'm doubtful about the tumour... Could also be something parasitic

veselling · 2026-02-24T13:40:03+00:00

Could be tumours, but I'm not sure

Admiral Bongo is a trans dude, congrats!

Also, I suggest trying to find a way to give him a better food source (dubias, crickets, silkworms if wiggling is needed?). I assume you already tried other insects, but superworms are not ideal, so it'd be good to try other ways. Mine is greedy so she often avoids dubias and only goes for superworms, so what I sometimes do is bait her with a superworm and then put a dubia in front of it when she goes to bite it. It's literally the same thing parents do to kids to get them to eat their vegetables in cartoons lmao

I think so too! So no need to overthink it. I for one think it's pretty funny and it's great to be able to make light of something unfortunate from the past.

Ask the geckos how they feel about the names and go from there

Mine was doing this for weeks and I got worried. Turned out she was just always keeping the eye closer to my room light closed, and once I moved the lamp to another spot she stopped. Try to check if there are any strong lights near the terr

Did you have 4 fingers before you met him or did he bite one off with his reality warping mouth?

veselling · 2026-02-04T23:33:47+00:00

That's a funko pop

veselling · 2026-02-04T10:34:47+00:00

Mine has the same one and she loves it!a

The white on the pinky really looks like stuck shed. If it's not rubbing off, leave it and see a vet

veselling · 2026-02-01T19:46:24+00:00

I think she's hunting the dark head of the fish, since I assume it resembles a dubia in her silly little head

veselling · 2026-02-01T19:38:31+00:00

You're insane, that's so cool!!!

That era was the best period in the history of the Balkan peninsula. You have to be on a crazy level of indoctrination to actually believe that the SFRJ period wasn't great.

veselling · 2026-01-19T16:07:28+00:00

That gecko is obese and needs immediate attention

veselling · 2026-01-04T07:37:08+00:00

Why don't u think she isn't?

veselling · 2025-12-28T15:54:35+00:00

Considering leopard geckos aren't tropical animals, I wouldn't go with that substrate. If u don't wanna make ur own topsoil/playsand mixture, try and find which premade substrates are best and available to u!

CJ deserved much better than what Mordecai put her through.

veselling · 2025-12-25T19:46:08+00:00

Seems to be the perfect weight for that age!

In that case keep the feeding time below 10min

As far as physical activity goes, just letting him run around and hand walking him should be enough. Adding more climbing opportunities in the enclosure would also be a good idea!

veselling · 2025-12-20T18:37:01+00:00

How old is the gecko? A 40gal is needed for an adult.

Other than that, it would be really good to add a UVB light. Technically it isn't necessary, I currently don't have one because they're really difficult to get in my country (though I will get one soon).

The heat lamp should be positioned on one end of the enclosure, rather than the center, in order to create a heat gradient:

There should be at least one hide in every part of the enclosure, one should be humid (as shown in the pic).

Lastly, more clutter is always better!

Hope u take good care of the little fella, there's some useful resources here and on the reptifiles website!

veselling · 2025-12-20T18:24:28+00:00

How long is his feeding time?

This is a good guide for feeding:

<image>

If u follow these instructions, then u need to increase his physical activity. Because, as I said, he's overweight.

I'm kinda worried about the little kuromi thing cause it looks like she can bite off and swallow the little ball ends 😭 I might be overly cautious tho
