I think she’s so cute! She’s only a year old and she’s been with this rescue for 6 months of her life. They said her deformity doesn’t appear to cause her any pain, but she does need help catching bugs and getting shed off her toes

Here’s the pic the adoption place has on their page. She was born with a spinal deformity (probably from inbreeding)

I definitely wouldn’t use sand. Nasty stuff. I just don’t want the poor gecko to get her nails caught on the carpet!

Honestly at this point I’m just pretending to go with what they say so I can grab the gecko and then change it all later. They’ve asked me not to use any overhead lighting and to use reptile carpet 😭 I just smile and nod but there’s no way I’m doing that.

Going through the adoption process to get a leopard gecko from a local rescue but I’ve found that the rescued care requirements are super outdated. I’m just trying to give this little gecko and good home but these people are being very strict 😭 it wouldn’t be so bad if their care guide was...

Also, does anyone know if something like a 40w LED bulb would be ok for her enclosure? I ask because I was using a 100w halogen and it got way too hot. I’ve plugged in the 40w for now. I want to find what’s best before I bring her home

In my readings I have learned that the specific morph of gecko I am gecko is less pigmented and therefore needs a less intense UVB bulb. Something like a 2-2.5%

What size tank would a pair of females need? Not that I’m getting 2 right now but I am curious

I could be wrong, but I thought leopard geckos were a solitary reptile only?

I do have a heat mat with a thermostat coming in the mail. It’s the same one I use for my dart frogs and I haven’t had any issues with it

I did know that! It’s like that in many reptiles, which I find quite interesting

This was helpful! Thank you!

Can anybody tell me if heat mats (with thermostats are safe for leopard geckos? I am reading conflicting information on various websites

After telling myself I wasn’t going to get anything before I got a snake, I just filled out an application to adopt a disabled leopard gecko. I haven’t had a leopard gecko in nearly 10 years. Can anyone recommend the best lighting? And do they need UVB?

This is helpful! I love Clint’s reptiles

I honestly thought about it. If I did, it would be another situation like how I ended up with Danny. I rescued him from a neglectful situation

Yes, but from my understanding they are harmless to humans.

Thanks! They’ve been so much fun. I love to watch them chase their fruit flies

Brought these little guys home a couple months ago! I am a little worried about one growing faster than the other. I’ve started feeding more in case it’s a competition thing so hopefully the little guy will catch up. If all goes well, I hope I end up with a male/female pair and some babies!
