These are me and my boyfriend‘s first leopard geckos. We bought them at a Petco (I know you shouldn’t support their business but they had been there for a long time, and I only paid $17 for each because they were having such a “hard time” selling them) whenever I bought them, they were in a small tank at least 5 gallons with six other geckos. I have currently been keeping them in a 40 gallon. I don’t plan on keeping them in the same tank for long period of time as far as I know they’re both females, but they are still fairly young. They both eat and drink fine and one of them has shed completely normal. They don’t seem stressed and they do great with handling. I’m just not sure how long is ok keep them in this 40 gallon together. I just want the best for them until I can get a second tank. The woman who sold them to us, said that they would be fine living together their entire lives, but up upon my research that is not good for their health. I’m looking forward to guidance for their babies :)

Dude straight up sleeps IN the pool sometimes 😑
He spends all day on/in it, not getting up to do his nighttime rounds until around 7pm then he’s right back to his pool by 6am the next morning.

But at least it looks like he’s enjoying himself, and, most importantly, he drinks from it (including waking up to turn his head down into the water to take some sips before going back to sleep 😂), so I think it’s safe to say I won’t have to worry about that for the two weeks I’m gone. His sitter won’t really have to do anything, I can control all the electronics and heating elements remotely.

My handsome new boy arrived on Sunday, October 4th.

He’s a two-year-old male. He has an 80x45x45 terrarium equipped with a heat lamp and UVB lighting; he has a warm hide, a large hollow cork log that serves as his primary home, and a soapstone slab in front of the warm hide where he usually sits when the UVB and heat are turned off. Here’s the issue: I don’t think he’s ever gone into the humid hide, but more importantly, he hasn’t eaten a thing! I’ve offered him mealworms in a dedicated dish—both during the day and at night—but nothing... I’ve tried offering roaches with tongs, but still nothing; he’s very shy and retreats. Should I be worried? What can I do? What if I release the roaches inside the cork log and they don't get eaten but instead disappear into the terrarium?

PS Over the last couple of days, if he’s out of his burrow early in the morning or in the evening, he looks at me and doesn't go back in right away; I can see he’s still very anxious, though he’s doing a bit better.

My first leopard gecko! Very excited to finally have one. They’re so stinkin’ adorable.

Like I said on a previous post, I got her from a Reef buddy of mine. His son had her for a time, but he no longer wanted to keep her(long story) so he asked if I wanted to take her, I said yeah(don't worry, I researched Leos before I decided to get a Crestie instead, so I know the essentials). The set up is good(missing a few things like two thermometers/Humidity gauges, a thermostat, but it DOES have a UVB light). She is a 4 month old(I think??) Albino Tangerine very outgoing and Food-crazed, she even bitten my finger thinking it's food lol. Anytime she hears the cage door open, she will come right up to me, she's walks away when i offer up my hand, but her love for food and her boldness are the right ingredients to fix that. I figure she's still comfortable because she's still in her old cage. I just ordered a 36"x18"x18" for her, it's coming next Monday.

my new leopard gecko, Maple, was rescued from a person who kept her in improper temps and a small enclosure for a bit. i got her friday and when i got her she ate 6 mealworms but spit them up hours later. her enclosure is the proper temperatures now with all the things necessary, but she hasn’t eaten (today is monday) and she has been hiding a lot. i know they are nocturnal but when i went to bed and woke up she was still in the same spot. i’ve never had a leo before so if you guys have any tips so im not worried sick out of my mind. she looks to be a healthy weight/ size but im worried for her wellbeing. i dont want her to be stressed or anything, if anyone has tips pls pls pls help! greatly appreciated!

I got this sweet girl yesterday. She is 2 months old, seems a bit skinny to me but I'm making sure she will eat well. All I know her dad was patternless, forgot to look at the mom.

I think she's settled in well

(Gecko tax at the end!) In here is housed an AFT gecko named Meatball!! He has 10 hides at the moment. UVA + UVB, a humid hide, 50-60% constant humidity, ambient hot is 88° or so right now, basking spot is 96° and cool side ambient is 73°. When pics were taken, i had just turned his lights on for the morning.

Is there anything I should add? I have a gravel layer so I can pour water in at the bottom to keep the humidity constant. I know that the temperature gages I have aren’t 100% accurate however, I do have a temperature gun and I can confirm that these temp gages are only about .5° cooler than what the temp actually is. So I don’t feel the need for the super fancy expensive temp gages.

So ive been looking for specific tank measurements and this is the closest ive found, will this be enough floor space for my leo? keep in mind i want to add a custom background. If anyone knows any better tanks please do tell, i was looking for atleast 4in of a substrate barrier but couldn’t find anything

I was given a leopard gecko like 2 month ago and here is the new enclosure i made for him. Am i doing alright with the little girl. She seem happy but having a hard time leaving her hide. Been 3 weeks in this enclosure so its still new to her maybe.

This is Bella, she’s estimated to be a little over a year old. She was a rescue and our first gecko. How does her weight look for age?

I feel like her hind leg looks a little big?

With the balcony spider... So cool but I could never ever own one of these

Right now he’s eating mainly crickets and Dubia roaches with an occasional mealworm and I’m getting some silkworms for him to try tomorrow, but I want him to have a very versatile diet. Are these something that are an occasional treat or could these be a staple food?

He is a juvenile gecko weighs ~30g

My yr old boy was babysat for a week by a high school senior across the street who has wanted a gecko. Other than being extremely unenthusiastic and I had to beg to be told if he had been fed or ate food for a week she also inconsistently turned on/off his lights (I bought something automatic that ended up breaking right before leaving yay) She hasn't attempted to feed him beyond a couple mealworms in his bowl I put in there before I left which she said he hasn't ate.he has not gone to the bathroom in a week now I was only told today after asking (she said shed talk to me daily and just didn't). he has two large bowls of water and in one photo I begged for I see water drops from misting. Im not sure if shes tried to hold him behind my back but I am worried he hasnt ate or pooped.

This is Cheese Bread. He’s 10 inches long, I feed him about 5-7 dubia roaches about 2 days a week. I can’t tell if he’s overweight or not.
