Where

Hi everyone! It’s currently 4:38am… I’m binging watching Netflix and I turn over to look at Mavis’s enclosure and I just see this😭😭

My gecko is still very young, only 3 and a half months. So I do understand its hard to sex at this age, however I managed to get a good picture and was wondering if anyone wanted to guess the sex.

Got her on December 21 2025 when she was 2 weeks old

Mavis Update - Finally some good news! 🥹🧡
I finally have a positive update to share!
We weighed Mavis today and she’s officially 39g! 🥳
For the last couple of weeks she’d been stuck at around 37g, so I was starting to get a little worried that she just wasn’t gaining any weight despite eating every day. After everything she’s been through with her spay, two emergency surgeries and recovery, seeing the scales finally move has honestly made me so happy.
We fed her 3 medium dubia roaches today (they were the only ones we had that were an appropriate size), and I’m starting to wonder if the dubias might suit her better than some of the other feeders we’ve been offering. Obviously it’s too early to say for certain, but it definitely feels like we’re finally heading in the right direction.
She’s continuing to eat well, she’s pooping normally again, and she’s bright and active. Seeing that number go up from 37g to 39g has been such a relief after the last few weeks.
Hopefully this is the start of her slowly working her way back towards Helen’s goal of 50g. ❤️🦎
Thank you all so much for sticking with us through this rollercoaster. Your advice and support has genuinely helped me more than you know.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share these memes of Mavis I made while I was bored 😭

there are ramps and railings to prevent him from falling more than 6 to 7 inches. Next, I’ll be adding rocks Fake plants and introducing isopods and springtails

I was working on the adding panels behind my Leo enclosures and of course the nosiest of nosy leo patrol had to supervise 😂

So this all starts with me getting a new job at a local feed store. I was really excited, because I love working with animals. One of the first things I notice is four enclosures on the side aisle, one with a beardie, one with a Leo with severe mbd (bulldog stance), and one other with not one, but two geckos. They were all about 10 gallons, except the oh so generous 20 gal for the beardie.

So I ask my boss if I could move one of the cohabbed geckos into the empty tank, and he said NO! He said it wasn’t worth the cost of materials and that they’ve “been like that for years so they’re fine” Apparently they were surrenders to the store.

I also learned they have been given NO supplements, not even calcium. Each cage was also infested with darkling beetles and had CAKED FECES AND URATES in the corners and on the floors. The bulbs in each cage were either red or purple with no uvb. They also never shut them off.

I felt extremely bad and tried to do everything I could, I brought in supplements I bought myself, bought bags of substrate, and cleaned the enclosures.

One of the geckos in particular caught my eye, as he was being constantly tormented by the other larger male gecko in the enclosure, never getting to eat or even leave his hide. When I took him out he was snappy and when he opened his mouth I saw that he had severe mouth rot, with several CHUNKS coming out. I cleaned it to the best of my abilities. He also had several layers of shed, as well as several missing toes.

I brought up the issue to my boss, who didn’t care in the least. Finally after a week I convinced him to allow me to take him, as he would most likely die otherwise.

Originally it was supposed to be temporary, but due to his myriad of issues and the fact I started to bond with him, I decided to keep him.

When I got him home, with the advice of a vet, I gently removed his stuck shed (some pieces were so thick I had to use scissors), cleaned his eyes (mild hypovitaminosis a), and cleaned his gums.

His issues include:
- permanent gum loss from mouth rot, can only eat things without chitin (fresh shed mealworms, fresh shed superworms, waxworms, hornworms)
- vision issues (cannot see things that don’t have lots of color difference)
- mobility issues (cannot only move in short jerky spurts, possibly nervous or neurologically)
- dirt eating habit
- all but two missing toes

I ended up quitting that job, as I could not work at a place that didn’t give two shits about the animals in their care. I will most likely inform nearby animal rescues/welfare centers about the place. The ONLY thing I feel bad about is the fact that now the rest of the animals will probably continue to get worse until they die and get thrown in the dumpster like trash. I hold a very strong grudge against the owner and if I didn’t care about consequences, would flame him online.

I get it, you hate my hand.

He’s so big now(second photo was a week after I got him)

I see people posting about wanting more cute gecko pics. Whiskey has had a big few weeks so here is some Whiskey appreciation

She has a pretty big tail which got me questioning if it's normal or if she's just fat. The tail is approximately 1.5x to 2x the size of her neck.

So I got my leo about 2 months ago, first three weeks eating wonderfully, always hungry and happy. Then about a month ago, she suddenly stopped eating regularly. First we thought it was her shed, and a week after that she ate about 10 medium BSFL and 5 mealworms between two feedings, but lately its been 2 weeks and she still hasn't eaten, not even wax worms, meal worms, discoid roaches, BSFL, nothing. Shell lick bop them, lick them, then turn around and walk away. When we got her, she was 3 years old, and 39g. Around the end of the first month, she was aeound 47g, but running around on my queen bed for about an hour a day. And now, shes 42g, and her tail is noticeably thinner, but not dangerous like a parasite? She hasn't passes any stool, and doesnt seem lethargic in the least...she sleeps all day then comes out aeound 3-11pm for out of tank enclosure, a 40 gal thrive. Should i be worried? Vet? Im honestly considering trying to feed her some grub pie through a syringe without the metal needle. First time leo owner, sorry!! First and second photo are current, third is about a month back

This is my leo that I got from the reptile store. The employee told us they didn’t know what morph she was so they just sold her to us as “fancy leo.” She has some lavender spots so I’m guessing Albino Rainwater or Tremper albino but not sure!

hiii, i got this baby a couple days ago, and i am curios what she/he will end up looking after reaching adulthood. as far as i know the parents are just standard yellow with black dots, but one of my close friends said she/he looks a bit different than a standard colored baby, what do you guys think? (please dont judge the papertowels, its a quarantine terrarium, i already ordered the substrate for them, its only for the first 2-3 weeks! 0:) )
will they have the standard colours and patterns, or will they have a paler pattern and/or colours?

Creo que le gusto, por fin termino su cuarentena y pude pasarlo a su terrario oficial 🦎
