@ghillieninja1 all sand causes impaction - all loose substrate causes impaction.
You may have loose substrate, and feed you Gecko outside of the viv, so he won't have the tendency to swallow any sand when pouncing for crickets. there is however always the chance of him swallowing it. carpet is evil too, the gecko can snap his jaw off , like mine did, as it's made out of plastic felt, which catches the geckos mouth when hunting for food... Paper towel is the best, and worst
I love how he closes his eyes as you're rubbing the top of his head hehe :3
I have one myself.. only had it for a couple of months. All she/he/it'll do it walk across my hand :/ I'm gonna try turning my hand over so it get's used to the softer side but she/he/it won't let me pick it up yet ;; it's a bit skdfhskljrhkjrg so close to getting on there but it chickens out and decides not to :P
@DYLONayms No stupid human your are just another sleep walking idiot trying to sound intelligent when all you are is a bi-est self enduged moron. Every animal has there on capacity for emotion but to say a gecko cant is being ignorant when you obviously never owned a exotic pet. I have owned hawks, parrots, iguana, geckos, jones armidillos,cats,horses,geese(canadain) AND fostered orphan deer ALL bonded with me and were more loving caring and smart then any human ive come to know even myself.baka
Quick qestion well how long cage did you get for him because im getting one and im doing research and..sorry i keep asking questions but do you have to have those tempeture things on there cage cuz i was thinking a hot light would work fine and...can you put live plants in there cage?
@dognrunn It's difficult to say. A leopard gecko can't really do tricks, but they can recognize their owners and accept hand-feeding, as well as handling. I believe that they can trust to an extent; Dagon sometimes had trouble shedding, yet wasn't bothered by me helping him to shed by washing the skin with warm water and helping to pull it off gently.
@marek0086 They most certainly can. My leo (11yrs old) just had a minor eye infection and wouldn't let anyone hold him without putting up resistance, however, he never squirms when i hold him and even lets me tilt him sideways to get the drops in better. If you were a gecko, wouldnt you recognize your owners voice after years of exposure to it?
if u use a heat mat do u need a thermastat to regulate it or do u think it will be fine and if u only use a heat mat can i just do the calcium in the bowl thing if i dont put a uvb bulb in there?
Mine died a few weeks ago. He died of old age, the last week or two he just stopped eating completely and I tried to get to eat but it must be a thing when u get old.
Leopard Geckos do bite and do draw blood - I know from experience. My gecko was nervous when I was moving her to clean out the viv and bit my husband in three places
@barrowscasper12 No, it doesn't hurt when a leopard gecko bites. Their jaws are surprisingly strong, but their teeth are very tiny and incapable of piercing your skin. Their jaws are to crush insects only, although it can pinch if you get your thumb. :p
@barrowscasper12 Nah, there's nothing harmful about them at all. Just wash your hands after handling/playing with them as like all reptiles, they can carry salmonella. :)
@barrowscasper12 Sand and calci-sand is considered dangerous as the gecko can accidentally ingest it if the gecko is fed within the enclosure. The sand can become impacted within the gecko's system and cause a blockage, posing a high fatality risk. As leopard geckos are native to deserts, I'm not sure how it's so dangerous, but if you're very concerned, feed the gecko in an enclosure without sand (or just use paper for substrate).
@EverybodysGrudge I'm not sure if mine was just outside the norm, but my old leopard gecko could definitely bite hard enough to break skin, as I learned.
how did you tame him? mines is new i got him july 4th and he used to hiss and strike at me but now he lets me stroke him once in a while for like 30 secs, and can you tell me how do i get a baby one to eat mealworms? mines wont eat for nothing D:
@roywhitymore76 Not at all. Their colouration serves as camouflage in their native environment, which are the deserts of Pakistan, Central Asia and the northwest of India.
they don't have teeth, so even if they do try and bite you (which they won't unless you corner them and they feel threatened) they won't puncture your skin. if you want a pet but don't have a lot of money these are one of your best options.
I got a question. Well i got a Leopard Gecko on Christmas of 2009 and it came skinny which i thought was normal but it never ate or anything. I caught it eating one time but when I saw him he jumped very quickly. And my uncle thought he was blind but I dont know. I even tried handfeeding him. He died last year but i was just curios to see if you knew the problem.
Aw!He's just like my little baby girl Ebenee.Well she's not really a baby since she's 1 now.Do you have to train your gecko to eat out of your hand?Cause my gecko is kinda a violent eater and bites the crap out of my fingers when eating from them.But she enjoys the people time she gets alot too.She really like crawling in my hair,she just doesn't like being untangled from it.But your gecko is super cute!
Hey, i currently have a Male Tangerine and i want to pair him up with a female, not necessarily for breeding purposes, just so i can have two in one enclosure.. My buddies got a raptor for sale (female),if i introduce her to my tang, will there be any problems ? can they live together fine ?
very cool! im trying to get my geckos to allow me to pet them like that. my male is quite friendly but my female has been laying eggs lately, and she is a little more aggressive.
im from the Philippines...i want to know why people in my country are so eager to catch this very delicate creatures...they said and believe to cure aids? how true is it? my friend are catching them now and sad some of them died in their cages :( are people buy this to make as pet or a rumor to cure aids?
As far as I know, nothing cures aids. Leopard geckos are just friendly and easy to care for reptiles, and are excellent alternative pets for people who are allergic to cats/dogs/birds.
@DYLONayms I'm not sure what you mean by ridiculous. If leopard geckos were endangered, I wouldn't be keeping one and would be leaving it up to the professionals to preserve the species. However, they're very common in their native habitat and as they breed easily in captivity, there's very little demand for wild stock. I don't like furry pets, but a gecko is friendly, interesting, easy to care for, small and quiet. And they don't make me sneeze.
@EverybodysGrudge Take it easy, but come on, do you really think a geckos can have any feeling/bond for you ? A cat, a dog or a horse will come back if you let him outside. If you let your gecko out, he will just run out. He just doesn't care about you. So it's ridiculous because it's like having a toy. A cute toy. But animals are not toys, they are animal, and they need to live in there natural habitat. It's the same for mouses, fishes, snake, birds...
@DYLONayms I'm not cross, just wondering why you seem to think the only worthwhile pet is a larger, furry mammal. Sometimes dogs, cats or horses just don't appeal to people, or they're too big/hard to keep in certain circumstances. People might not be able to tolerate furry pets, or they're not allowed to keep one in their housing apartment. It doesn't mean they shouldn't get to enkoy having a pet, even if they're not as affectionate as cats/dogs. And smaller animals are no more toys than larger
@EverybodysGrudge ones. They all require care and love, as much as any cat or dog. You just have to accept that people have their own tastes, even if you don't see what the attraction is. Personally I dislike large spiders, but I can see why people would like to keep creatures like tarantulas and scorpions.
@DYLONayms LOL really? cause all those pets were rescued from improper owners who took them from there natural habitat and would not have survived in the wild these are abused pets some missing limbs and some just phsychologicly damaged. So i ask you this am i useless when im saving nature, or are you the one whos usless? Caught up in a false reality thinkin just cause you can see all the fault within humanity you think it divides you from it? No it just makes you worse then the actual problem.
@DYLONayms To be honest you prob are just some angry teen trying to troll and thats why you sound stupid but either way jjget your shit together. Cause right now your a moron.
to get a playfull gecko is it got to do how you look after it like if you treat a dog bad it will bight is it kinda the same or is it just how the gecko is
Leopards are very soft and dry, with bumpy scales across their back. They are very easy to care for also, and are usually gentle/calm. One thing to be careful of is their tail, which is also soft but comes if the gecko is threatened or if the tail is grabbed/pulled!
sooo cute..

Sometimes dogs, cats or horses just don't appeal to people, or they're too big/hard to keep in certain circumstances. People might not be able to tolerate furry pets, or they're not allowed to keep one in their housing apartment. It doesn't mean they shouldn't get to enkoy having a pet, even if they're not as affectionate as cats/dogs. And smaller animals are no more toys than larger

@EverybodysGrudge ones. They all require care and love, as much as any cat or dog. You just have to accept that people have their own tastes, even if you don't see what the attraction is. Personally I dislike large spiders, but I can see why people would like to keep creatures like tarantulas and scorpions.

@DYLONayms LOL really? cause all those pets were rescued from improper owners who took them from there natural habitat and would not have survived in the wild these are abused pets some missing limbs and some just phsychologicly damaged. So i ask you this am i useless when im saving nature, or are you the one whos usless? Caught up in a false reality thinkin just cause you can see all the fault within humanity you think it divides you from it? No it just makes you worse then the actual problem.

het this will sond stupid but i want a gecko are they slimy or are they dry like a snake and are they easy to maintain

@rhinorowan
Leopards are very soft and dry, with bumpy scales across their back. They are very easy to care for also, and are usually gentle/calm. One thing to be careful of is their tail, which is also soft but comes if the gecko is threatened or if the tail is grabbed/pulled!

@EverybodysGrudge Has the tail ever come off in your experience?

No. Occasionally when Dagon was in a skittish mood, rather than handling him and risking his tail, I would simply leave him alone until he was calm.

@rhinorowan There's better way to obtain info about that than youtube. Google "Leopard gecko care", or buy some books.
