Glass Climbing Leopard Gecko!!! REPTAR

***UPDATE: Reptar has a roomie now, Fontanella. Currently though, they are both ill and being treated. They've lost a lot of weight due to poor digestion. The vet and I couldn't figure out why but steps are being made and hopefully all will be well soon.
******************************
This is Reptar, my Leopard Gecko. Sorry for the Poor quality of the first 20 seconds. I saw him acting weird like that so I grabbed the nearest video camera, my cell phone. Then I grabbed my MacBook and recorded the rest... More videos of Reptar Soon! He'll be getting a new roommate possibly soon too depending on how quick I find one I like that will be suitable..

[compopote]

[ReptarGecko]

@compopote I dunno. I used to by just researching but I forgot.

[ViaLaBam25]

just to say that is a badass tank and sand isnt all tht bad.

[ReptarGecko]

@ViaLaBam25 Thanks. It's easy to clean the way I have it. I have a hand towel across the bottom now with just a paper towel folded twice in the corner where she goes to the bathroom.

@dttruon Mineral oil also works great orally if the animal will take it. Had a really senile beardie that ate some pebbles once and it worked great.

He literally shat bricks.

Sand is fine. Feed slow critters like worms, use a feeding dish, clean the dish before they feed, and supervise during feeding to make sure no prey items get on the sand. Problem solved. Don't just throw crickets in, you know?

That said, don't use sand with a gecko that lunges at shadows. Just study your animal before choosing a substrate and stop demonizing people that are actually responsible and successful with sand.

i used to have a gecko and named him geico :)

[XxAmayaSanxX]

OMFG YES.

Best name ever. Imma get a RAPTOR and name him Reptar ;)

[Retrograding]

Reptar is a Hypo Tangerine, in case you still didn't know, haha.

@dttruon ok thank you :)

[dttruon]

@barrowscasper12 usually impaction happens to hatchlings, with less experience, of course, they are clumsier. however, after a few times, they learned to aim better, as well as they also learned to use their forepaws to brush the sand off their tongues. if impaction should occur, use an eyedropper to drop a few drops of mineral oil on their anus to make it come out easier. that said, for babies, use towels. when they're more mature and experienced with hunting, then you can always try sand.

[dttruon]

@barrowscasper12 they don't really eat the sand. as they hunt the crickets, they may accidentally ingest a few grains of sand. a few wont hurt them, however, too many may cause impaction which is the same as constipation. impaction is rare for they will defecate them along with their daily fecal matter. impaction usually happens with larger grains and pebbles. fine powder sand is less impact-prone, but dusty, dirty, and ugly. the larger-grained sand are prettier, even colored, but more proned.

[barrowscasper12]

is it true that they eat the sand? cause i heard that somewhere and i want to be 100% sure if they do or don't.
