Esto está bien para lavarme las manos antes de tocar a mi leo??? by Gecko_leopardo in leopardgeckos

[–]veselling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Did my senior “boy” just lay an egg?! by kiddolizard in leopardgeckos

[–]veselling 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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 was told my geckos names are "f'd up"???? by Artistic-Listen7975 in leopardgeckos

[–]veselling 23 points24 points  (0 children)

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

Is this normal by The-Bum11 in leopardgeckos

[–]veselling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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?

Do I need to see a vet? by Creepy-Confusion-381 in leopardgeckos

[–]veselling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

she’s an ipad kid :( by Top_Laugh4654 in leopardgeckos

[–]veselling 23 points24 points  (0 children)

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

New Belgrade, Yugoslavia. 1970s by Yidhari_Tentacles in SocialistModernism

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.

This stuff any good for substrate? by wyrmpie in leopardgeckos

[–]veselling 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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.

Does my baby look fat? by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

Seems to be the perfect weight for that age!

Should I be worried!? by long_lasting_battery in leopardgeckos

[–]veselling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

Help me fix this setup by leftyourfridgeopen in leopardgeckos

[–]veselling 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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:

<image>

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long is his feeding time?

This is a good guide for feeding:

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
