[djosuna3]

nice vid helped me wit the cleaning part!!:D



[SlakeDragon]

My leopard gecko looks, seriously, almost EXACTLY like her. :D I am so happy to know that someone else has one that looks so much alike.

Also, I do the same thing with the paper towels. It makes thens ten times easier when cleaning.

How do you know its a girl?

[exkaObserver23]

@AirsoftR3view3r idk if anyone ever answered you, but the holes under their tails give it away , male and female geckos have different pattern holes

[samgadfein]

i have a question, i have my leapard gecko in sand but some time the sand falls on him im afraid he'll die sometimes any tips on how do i keep the sand from falling on him?

[sbpitcher2223]

if they dont pee where do u think all the water goes huh smart guy? they do pee cause when i saw it right after he took a crap there was pee all over it , this comment is just to damncat999

[oo0Muppet0oo]

thats a ace way of making sure they shed properly, im going do that with mine

cheers dude

[crazyfool2017]

should you do the sauna trick every time they are going to shed or just if they need it and if they need it how to i know?

[packraptor1]

@crazyfool2017

You can do it every time if you'd like, but it isn't really necessary. They don't always need it, but if they have trouble getting the skin off, then you definitely know that you'll have to give them the sauna.

[turtleman5551]

That isn't a carrottail

[damncat999]

oops

[damncat999]

they dont pee they just poop..

[KakeImo]

They do pee... Never seen anything white on their shits?

[vandreadboy13]

the sauna is like

pee where they drink and

drink where they pee

[thedune64]

[greattuberocks]

Greattuberocks.

[FuzzyDorf]

sand is horrible for them

[nickjluv10009]

my gecko poops like everywere

[reptiles124rule]

i highhly recomend paper towels as a substrate. it is very easy to clean. about the shedding i use a tubberware container filled about half way with spagum moss

[DCmaster2]

dont worry about shedding problems

they eat their own shed and th eincomplete comes off with the new shed so its okay

[royaltywears]

yea but their toes dont shed as well plus if it doesnt shed the gecko will grow and its feet will get strangled and the blood will get blocked wich means its toes mite have to fall off

[geckobreeder69]

hey man just make a moist hide. I just use a tubaware made from dark plastic so it doubles as a hide for the geckos. Just put moist paper towels in there and give them a mist when they dry out. I have a ton of geckos and they never have bad sheds

[packraptor1]

Yeah, whenever she shows signs of a shed coming soon, I always fix her up a moist hide now.

[geckobreeder69]

yea that will work fine

[pythonattack]

my gecko takes about two days to get the shed of its eyes or head. i just leave it it does come of. just make a shed hide. it's a moist place with moss and they do go in it every time they want to shed. well mines does anyway.

[BLINDFIRE700]

good idea about the toilet paper. I'll probably try that.

[BeKool955]

do most geckos have shedding problems cuz im about to get one soon. is there a way to avoid it having sheding problems.

[packraptor1]

Most have no problem whatsoever. Leopard geckos are incredibly hardy reptiles with very few health problems or anything of the like. They make fantastic pets. To avoid any shedding problems that might occur, however, I recommend doing what I do: let your lizard soak in a tub with a bit of warm water on the bottom (not too much, enough so the lizard can get their belly warm, but still have their head above water) and cover it, making something similar to a sauna.

[packraptor1]

You can also put some warm, moist moss or paper towels in one of the gecko's hiding spots. This helps them out a lot. Additionally, providing something rough for them to rub up against while shedding, to remove the excess skin helps. My Jenny likes to rub up against the large rock on the back of her cage to peel off the skin to a point where she can bite it and peel it off herself.

[freak100009]

hay you can buy stuff for their eyes. your vet should have told you about it. its like the same thing a pink eye stuff for people but yah a ladie i know used it on a leo thats eyes were like full of puss and it worked lol idk but you should look into it. also under tank heaters can mess up and burn your pet and thats bad =/

[packraptor1]

I used some eye care stuff that the vet gave me and it didn't work. :(

And under tank heaters are what nearly every leopard gecko breeder and keeper uses, and they're recommended more for leos than any other form of heat. Perhaps you're thinking of heat rocks? They burn reptiles, but heating pads don't, to my knowledge.

[GingerJamesMay]

Heh, you gave me the toilet paper tip a while back lol.

[caudataman5000]

"and theres the phone" lol

[curlysue9000]

that is a good tip. thanks for sharing. nice gecko, too bad about the shedding prob.

[symbiote35]

i always wanted a leo. gecko. i have a RES (red eared slider turtle), but i want to get a gecko in the future. if I do thanks for the tips.

[accionoctem]

I do the same thing with my carpet, it works wonderfully. Great tip!

Very nice looking gecko, I'm sorry to hear she's had shedding problems. Seems like you take excellent care of her though, she's a lucky gecko :)

[pokemeidareyousucker]

Lol, phone. You got owned, mang. Dude you kinda look emo with that lighting + long hair...
