A Guide To Choosing A Healthy Leopard Gecko

How to identify a healthy Leopard Gecko, a good shop and/or breeder. Is the gecko sick? What morph is it? Is it in the appropriate tank? Is it a healthy weight? All these subjects will be discussed in today's video. If the shops aren't going to improve their standards, we should demand better, or at least be able to tell a healthy gecko, from an ill gecko. With that in mind I believe all geckos deserve a shot at life, and if you're willing to take an ill one on, get it to the vets, and make it healthy again, then go for it.

    so I got my leo from a pet store, they took good care of all their animals and also in the leo tank they had all females ( I checked all of them) all of the reptiles and other animals looked healthy, so I decided to buy from there ( we were gonna get one from a local reptile shelter, but they didn't have any leos which is a good thing) anyways, I checked around the tank looking for anything that was wrong with any of the geckos ex: parasites MBD, ES etc, and I didn't find anything off putting, except for one thing, I saw a little gecko in the back corner who was smaller and skinnier then the rest, I'm guessing she was the runt of the group. anyways, I asked if I could hold her and she was so cold! The other leos might not have let her be on the heat mat because she was in the corner, so I decided to get her. the employees were asking me why I didn't want to get a different one and didn't really understand WHY I wanted that specific one. when I got home with her, I put her in her new tank all by herself, I had to guide her to the heat mat so she could know where it was, and when she found it and realized that it was all hers, I swear she just had the biggest smile on her face nothing made me happier then seeing her be happy and all warm in her own entire tank and not just in a corner, and in the first 3 weeks of having her she grew soo much, and now she is one healthy happy gecko!

    This restores my faith in humanity SO much. I got my gecko Fekay from a pet store and they take pretty good care of their animals, though they store their baby Leo's in a half foot by half foot square box. Now at this rate I was concerned (*granite they gave the right Info they but the adult mack snow leopard Male In a different enclosure that was literally the same size half foot by half foot not saying the size of the terrarium was a good thing it's just they separated the adult from the babies.*) there were male and female babies cooped up together aproxemetly 2 males and 1 female I was unsure so I got one of the males to prevent fighting and named him fekay. And yes they were fed crickets but they did NOT look gut loaded and I dont think they were dusted but I couldn't tell because of how dirty the window was (*luckily I saw every reptile was in good health including the Leo's I just think how they were treated was a bit un fair and uncomfortable and fekay's tail was almost a stick I think and when we got home he smiled at me and then yawned and went to his warm hide and slept peacfuly *) but ya restored mah faith in humanity :3

    i bought a BABY leo from a local pet shop which i thought would be better than a big chain store and one of the employees refused to sell me crickets because he said he had “already fed her today” and “she won’t need to be fed for at least three more days so if you buy some now the crickets will just die.” babies should eat EVERY DAY so i just went to a different store and got some. anyways, yeah, moral of the story is pet shop employees don’t always know what they’re doing and buy your reptiles from expos if you can.

    See this is why I buy from breeders, but if I see one in need I'm always buying. I always have extra setups and plenty of food on hand. Makes me upset when pet stores think your nagging at them. Its very important to be educated, people need to know what to do and not to do. I support smaller scale breeders for my own breeding projects. I like getting to know the person and how they are taking care of their animals. I like to know the condition they are in. If a breeder can't answer my questions they arent in it for the animals so I move on. My heart does go out to you for trying your best to get through to others

    I have run into so many people like that. For instance I have been really into corns and this guy tried to charge me and arm and a leg for a pair after telling him 4 times I only want one. He was like are you sure. Yeah I had to quit talking to him cause he just wouldn't stop. I had gotten a ball python from a breeder that I thought was a male but turned out female after several times the snake being checked. He told me that my python was was a great eater. Yeah the poor baby had to be assist fed till I saw her eat on her own. One thing I hate the most is being lied to about snakes eating or not eating. He didn't show me proof so I had to figure things out and Why my girl likes to eat. She is a year now and is eating like a champ.

    I know Petsmart and the like get a lot of well-deserved hate, but there are actually some good individual stores of these chains out there. One near me, and the one I got my guys from, is one of them. The leos (and other animals) are housed correctly (enclosures a bit small, but that's to be expected since it's temporary), with clean reptile carpet, no left in feeders, fresh clean water, adequate hides, etc... The workers are also very knowledgeable, and even walked me through everything I would need, going so far as to say what was offered in their store that was best avoided, and suggesting more affordable or better solutions that could be found or made elsewhere. On two separate pre-purchase visits, they spoke to me for over an HOUR each time, explaining what I would need to know, and testing my knowledge and setup to make sure it was adequate. I fully believe they would not have sold me my leos if I had not been ready for them. There is actually another chain store that is closer to me, but I choose to visit this one, because I know they are actually doing it right. There CAN be good examples of chain shops. Support the ones that are doing it well, and complain up the chain of corporate command (and publicity) about the ones that are not. If we as pet owners hold them accountable, and support the good examples, it will only encourage more of the good ones to grow. As a side note: I always see people suggest local owned pet stores over chains, but to be honest, every single non-chain pet store I've ever visited has been atrocious. Smelly, dirty, and full of far too many ill-kept and sick animals. Doubtless there are some GREAT ones out there, but chains are not always the worst evil. Each store should be examined and evaluated on its own management and merits, not simple chosen because it is small or large.

    This is how the PetSmart is where I work. We genuinely care about our animals and make sure that they are housed properly, recieve medical care if needed, and are not sold without adequate supplies. I adopted my Leo from my store because he dropped his tail and couldn't be sold outright. Other than his tail he is *knock on wood* very healthy and active, eats great, poops regularly, has healthy skin and looks like he might shed soon. His tail has already grown a bit in the few days I've had him home! He is also very good tempered, he has never screamed or tried to bite or anything other than run away when he doesn't want to be handled. He even fell asleep on my arm after I fed him last night. 😭❤️❤️❤️

I took note of how they house their animals (all of them, because I tend to get angry as well about the way petshops keep their pets) and the reptiles and parrots alike seemed very pleased and healthy. Parrots had nice bright feathers with no stress marks on them or beak issues and the reptiles looked very healthy and comfortable in their homes - bright colours and no weird eyes or skin conditions!

There was one with stuck shed on his head but the rest looked fine The person who took care of them was very honest about them and told us which one had been eating which was the one that I got and, the one that hasn’t been eating. Overall I’m super impressed with that Petsmart and that’s where we buy my geckos food.

    One Year ago I got two Leo's called Nala and Diego, and they were kept in the stereotypical Leopard Gecko store inclosure. Nala has Enigma syndrome and had Necrosis on her tail, she is cured for her Necrosis and that took a few months. The Enigma isn't something I can cure sadly. Diego (also Nala) was very skinny and not really healthy looking, they were in a incloser wich was in bright lights all day and (the demon) Calcium sand... It makes me sick how people can do this to animals, I'm glad that I got them and make them healthy and happy. Yet everyday more and more animals are getting in these kinds of situations.

    yeah its so sad that the places that are meant to show what good reptile keeping should look like, are literally displaying animal abuse. I am glad they are doing a better. Just checking, are they male and female? And do they live together?

    Leopard Gecko Diego is a male and Nala female, they might be related. They live in apart from one another, in cages I keep in my room. And they are in a room which doesn't have the most bright lights, it's quit when it's day and when I come home it's later in the afternoon (then Nala is mostly awake and I pick her up and pet her). Funny thing is one day I found your channel and I became in love with these animals, so yeah...Thanks!

I could tell he was healthy afterwards because when the employee picked him up to put him in the travel container he tried to bite her. He is now 1.5 years old and I am looking into getting a second leopard gecko because of your videos.

    Hope you're doing better after your loss, sending good vives and love from Argentina. Now, regarding this specific video, I thought I might share something that happened a few weeks back to me regarding a local (apparently small) pair of associate breeders. They put small baby leopard geckos from different morphs (some times some adult ones) on their Instagram and wait for people to ask for them. First come, first served kind of thing. I was looking to get one more leopard gecko to my life, although I already have one, I got experience and all the supplies and things I might need (I'm 38 years old and I've worked with or for, even owned geckos mostly all my life, just as much as other reptiles like argentinean Tegus, for instance); So, I loose the chance to get one on their first wave this year. This are very small geckos, only a few weeks old, and some share the enigma gen, with all that this implies. Thing is, a week later this breeders promote a video of a 8 to 9 year old little girl who got an enigma 1 week old gecko as a "child's day present" from their rich parents (while it's ok to give a toy on this date, a living animal is not a toy). Neither of their parents knew anything about caring for a leopard gecko in general, and the breeders block me for calling them out. They say that the enigma gen doesn't have any difference to a normal (or even an albino) gecko, and when I told them that if they thought that they should Google it, they simply blocked me. Now, I know that there's a lot of other (more responsible) breeders in my area, even the one I got my current gecko (named CurryCurry), but it really made me feel all sort of really bad (BAD) emotions to see this people selling their geckos to people who feed them only one type of worms and don't even dust them. Not even asking the buyers if they had the right enclosure for it, and fighting with ME for calling them out on private because they told the parents to "put the gecko in a small fish tank" with some sand and a "heat resin rock" (very strong, they literally can burn or kill your adult geckos, imagine a baby!)... and only one shedding "humid" place. I could expect this from bigger stores or breeders, but when you see this sort of stuff happening between small breeders, it really breaks your heart, because, how can you breed something and see it hatch to them say "just give me the money" and give this precious creatures as if they were just toys that live over sand and eat a single thing with only fat and no supplements or even calcium?! I'm just so mad and sad... sorry for venting here, but I think you're the most likely to understand my frustration, since here in Argentina it's considered "normal" for people to do unethical things to pets and not only get away with it, but also they're the ones angry with you when you offer advice.
