Today I want to introduce you one of my favorite gecko girls- Ariel. She is very curious and loves to eat very much. Her little eyes are like beads . I love her.

Just set up a camera in his tank. Wasn’t expecting immediate gold

I realized that it's been about two years since I got Winnie, and about two years since I posted him here! I picked him up from petco as an owner surrender back in 2024, age unknown but full grown when I got him.

Still big and happy and active. ✨ He eats great and loves to watch the household activities.

I’m an extremely anxious person, so a couple of days ago I noticed some weird “irritation” on my gecko’s upper lip. I immediately put him into a quarantine bin on paper towels, suspecting mouth rot. It turned out he was just preparing to shed, everything is totally fine now. I was able to collect these gorgeous pieces this morning. Also, what’s interesting is that he doesn’t really eat his shed. I don’t know why, but I’m not judging him🙌

I’m a pharmacy student and my gecko Rosie was using me as a human jungle gym last night while I was doing homework. After watching me study so much, she felt confident dosing meds (she would’ve killed the patient)

I just got i believe it's a her. Today and so far I have Raine or Rocky. Please don't judge I seen the little note on her tank at petco

Are these okay to use for an adult leopard gecko, calcium 4x a month and multivitamin with D3 1x a month? With UBV lighting.

He makes this face all the time at me and I sent it to my husband who made this and I use it all the time 🤣 just thought I'd share since he's very judgy.

We suddenly lost our boy of almost seven years last night. When my fiancé and I got home from work yesterday we found blood spots on his paper towel and he was stiff and cold. I went to put him in a warm bath and he bit me. He was in pain. We were in the process of treating him for MBD (more in previous posts). He was such a kind, gentle, and the most trusting little guy. I’m going to miss him so so much.

Tripod is still improving! (if you have questions about her lumps and medical situation its in one of my previous posts)

She ate from Tongs last night, and im trying to keep her pooping with regular soaks as the vet suggested. Needless to say shes clearly never been a fan XD

Hi, I'm a brand new reptile owner. I just got my girl Elo here last weekend, so please forgive my inexperience. On the whole, things have been going better than expected. She started taking food yesterday, which was a relief, and that same night she performed her first shed since being with me. I got her as a rehoming from a reptile shop. She's about 4-5 years old.

This is the first behavior I've seen from her that is concerning to me. She seems obsessed with this corner of the terrarium. Since a night or two ago, she frequently comes up to this corner and "waves" pretty frantically. Last night I wasn't concerned because she was in the middle of shedding. I thought she was trying to rub her body against the glass to loosen up the old skin.

But today she's doing is again, despite having fully shed. I am also observing her breathing as she's doing this, which seems to be pretty rapid. Is something causing her stress? I tried putting a stone in to block off that section, hoping that would get her to settle down, but she just climbs on top and does the same thing. It's been a few minutes now and she has stopped for now and is resting on the warm side of the terrarium. Please help me figure this out, maybe this is perfectly normal but I haven't seen anything quite like this in my research so far.

I’m really struggling to find correct UVB lighting. I have two Leo’s and the current UVBs I have are too long. I need shorter UVBs so that they cover less of the tank. I’m struggling to find them with the correct UVI because I have one normal pigmented Leo and one hypo pigmented. I can’t find ones that are short enough and in stock anywhere.

He’s a Mack Snow Hatchling from BackWater Reptiles. He’s eating great and currently in his first shed with me. I didn’t realize how much he has grown until I did the side by side. First Day vs Tonight (1 Week difference). I think he’s thriving. He’ll come up and sniff my hand maybe give me a lick but hasn’t walked on to it yet. Loves crickets, picky on mealworms but will eat them. He clearly has hides. All three needed! The pictures without any in the tank were from tonight I took them all out to see if he’d eat from the tongs. He wasn’t a fan lol. We’ll work on it. 🩶

Is it just me or does she look a bit puffy after her shed, I have never seen this from after she sheds. I just want to know if its anything serious or If I don't need to look for the nearest vet that will take her.

she was out and about this morning
