We just got a leopard gecko a couple weeks ago and we are so grateful for these videos! They’ve been invaluable for my daughter and me. One other thing we wish we’d known is that sometimes the leopard geckos won’t eat for awhile when you first bring them home. Our guy D’oro (nickname Dorito) didn’t eat until 10 days after getting home. But now he’s doing great with his dubia roaches!

11. Not all leopard geckos like being pets. This may be more of a 10.5, but it’s true. Some leopard geckos just do NOT LIKE being handled… or looked at… or being visible to people. I have a wonderful classroom gecko, so I decided I wanted a second. He is what I term a “ghost gecko” - he hates interacting with me. Five months in, I had him finally accepting food from tongs… and then I had to move his tank, and now I’m back to square 1. I have barely handled him because he dislikes it so much… he was 2.5 years old when I got him from a good breeder, and it looks like getting him comfortable with being a beloved pet may be a long term project!

Which brand of deep heat projector are you using might I ask?

Thanks for this video! Great timing, actually. I just got a Leopard Gecko last week and have been a little confused as to what to use for lighting/hearing. Right now I have an Arcadia Shadedweller for UVB and day cycle and a Ceramic Heat Emitter for all day and night heat. I did get a Fluker’s dimmable dome and an Arcadia 50W halogen bulb to hook up, which I’ve not done yet. Then I will switch the heat emitter to just night heat. But now I seen your recommendation for a Deep Heat projector! So, with that, and the UVB, is that all you use or still need a daytime basking bulb? On the Deep Heat Projector, I see Arcadia sells two domes…a 5” and an 8”. Thinking maybe the 50W heat projector bulb with the 5” dome? He’s in an Exo-Terra front opening 40 gallon tank. Suggestions on what I have already VS implementing the Deep Heat projector would be awesome. Thank you!

@ellesreptiles

Жыл бұрын

Great decision to switch from just ceramic heat emitter to the Halogen basking bulb. Ceramic heat emitters are good for supplemental heating, but not great for the main source of heat. I absolutely love the Deep Heat Projectors: I just use it and UVB. 50W should work great for a 40 gallon tank - that's what I use, and I don't even have it turned all the way up. I'm not sure about the arcadia domes, as I've never used them. I just use a fluker's dome with a dimmable switch. As far as what to use, I would honestly just use the Halogen basking bulb until it blows (since you already bought it) and then, if you wanted to, switch to the DHP and try it out. Then you can decide which you/your leopard gecko like the best. 😊

I got my first leopard gecko yesterday. I really want to do well with him, he’s a baby so i was told they have to eat everyday… and he hasn’t eaten yet or really left his one hide much. I am trying crickets from the same place we bought him from so that at least his food wouldn’t change and i am going to be buying mealworms tomorrow. I just really want to make sure i’m doing everything i can and that he loves his new home 🥺

One thing I'd like to know, is it ok for them to cohabitate?

We've had a leopard gecko for 2 years, as my neighbor, who owns/owned several reptiles and a parrot, had to get rid of a few of them, and my wife and I were blessed to have gotten a leopard gecko, who is absolutely beautiful and wonderful. Also, he is hand-fed 99% of the time, but I digress. I've learned to different male and female bearded dragons (particularly if they're adult). I do not, however, know how to tell the difference between adult geckos. Is there any way that a layman, such as myself, can tell the difference between a male and female gecko?

Maybe try to move the location of the moist hide if possible? As far as the toes, you can use a shed helper, or just keep spraying water on his toes. If he'll let you, you can also put him in a container with warm, wet paper towels on the bottom for about 10-15 minutes (make sure there are air holes of course). That should help his feet get some moisture.
