Common Leopard Gecko Health Problems
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- Good Morning, Reptilians! This week, we're talking about common illnesses and health issues in leopard geckos.
ALSO, I somehow managed to forget obesity on this list. Captive leopard geckos tend to become overweight when they are being fed too much, or have too little enrichment in their tanks - this can lead to organ strain and shortened lifespans. Make sure you're keeping a check on their weight, making sure that their tails aren't getting too big (they should never be bigger than their mid section). Obviously if they're about to brumate or they're gravid, they'll be a heavier than normal, but otherwise, looking up "leopard gecko weight charts" can be super helpful. 😊

He's the type of guy to lick his fingers when turning a page while reading on his iPad
I know about all these, but you did a fantastic job Elle! I'd say spot on. You did great research, and have a vault of information.
I have had my Leonard Gecko for 9 years and he's still going great
The bloopers are so adorable !!
Great video! Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed Sunday❤️
♥️♥️♥️
Good morning Elle, hope your Sunday is amazing!!! Another wonderful and educational video this morning!!!
I hope your Sunday is amazing as well! 😊
@@ellesreptiles thank you Ma'am 😊
you are great at this and soooo good at explaining
Good morning Elle, thanks for the video and have a wonderful day! Winter is such a good actor lol 😂
😂 she is!
A very important thing I learned from my reptile vet that I didn't know for 5 years 🥺 UVB DOES NOT TRAVEL THROUGH GLASS. So always make sure your lighting is over wire mesh or inside the tank.
Very helpful. Thx!
Very insightful video learned alot more about my leopard gecko. Illnesses to look for when buying thank you Elle. Have a marvelous Sunday and great week.
GOD BLESS 🦎💖🦎💖🦎💖
Thank you and enjoy your week! 😊
Very insightful.
Thanks!
Pretty good tips
Thank you for this video... But Hell I'm still stressed🤦🏽♀️ not knowing if its happy here or stressed or sick or I'm doing the right thing. Did the bath situation while cleaning the tank. Now he is pale grey and his head still dark grey. New too this Dec24th too be exact.
Omg samee, Just got him recently and I'm experiencing the same thing :' the first week he was alright, but this last 3 days Idk if he's still stressed or if he's sick or if he's going to shed and all of these are making me confuse 😭
AWSOME I’m going to an expo today and now I know a lot more thanks 😊
You're very welcome! Have fun at the expo 😊
@@ellesreptiles I give my leopard gecko one supplement D3 calcium!
Hi Elle!! I love your videos so much, you are the best reptile channel I have ever found!! I have a question, is it safe to put isopods from outside in my leopard gecko enclosure? Thanks, I hope u always make your videos!!
Thanks for warning me
You're welcome!
Good morning Elle! I hope you have a good Sunday 😊 I have a leopard gecko (my profile picture) so this video will be very helpful 👍🏽
Awww that's a cute leopard gecko! 🥰
@@ellesreptiles thank you! His name is scales :)
Can you do a crested gecko care guide or health problems?
Awsom
Thanks for the video my geckos at the vet rn. Picking it up tomorrow, not sure what’s stuck in his throat. Doctor said she’s never see anything like it. Kinda crazy looks like a worm. But doubt it if she’s never seen it
I just want to add to the respiratory infection part that they don’t come from the temperature or humidity being too low or too high. They come from bacteria due to the enclosure not being cleaned enough or thoroughly enough. Low/high temps or low/high humidity causes the bacteria to grow and subsequently that causes respiratory infections. So keep your enclosures clean!!
Yes! So important to keep those tanks clean. Thank you so much for this comment ♥️
What do you recommend for cleaning inside tank? Would peroxide and spring water be ok?
can you please make a video on what you do when your bearded dragon lays eggs? im not sure if yall have made a video about this yet but still wanted to ask😊
wish we could have these cuties in Australia, but we have smooth knob tailed geckos and Thick Tailed Geckos, which both look similar!
I went to a reptile expo this weekend and found a female leopard for 20$ that was a rescue and she was sooo skinny , barely even any fat in their tail, I had to take her and try and get her better glad I found this video , I haven’t gotten her to eat yet I got a bunch of wax worms and some electrolyte powder I was told to soak her in, still trying to get her to eat. Do I just put a worm in a dish everyday until she eats it or should I wait a week or so until I know she should be hungry . Her tail is really skinny but it’s definitely not as skinny as the pictured on in the video it’s not a stick tail just really skinny
Hey I hope you still see these comments and answer questions. Love your videos! I have a ? About location of the UVB light. Does it matter where to put it? Are there particular lights to use? Finally, do you have a video that explains this more?
I’m a first time gecko owner and I have an leopard gecko his hands would shake when he takes a steps… do I add some vitamins or increase his calcium intake????
Also: life lesson. DO NOT spray anything scented in gecko living space. Mine lives in my room and I would spray perfume before walking out the door- gave her a respiratory infection 😭
Also they can sneeze!! My gecko had no discharge, just sneezing
Wait is this a common thing that could happen it is it rare because my mom likes putting scented sprays around the house whenever something smells bad. Please answer because I want to get a leopard gecko and has been putting a lot of research to make sure I give the gecko there best life ever
They can be born with mbd to right? Or just boas survives it?
Hello. My baby girl just passed today. Unsure why? She was fine last night. I did notice her nose a bit in the soil and when I picked her up, her belly was a little green. Do you happen to know anything regarding her belly?
My gecko has a slight kink in her tail but none of the symptoms on the list. Is my gecko ok?
How often do they happen?
Your accent is pleasant
Wait I had no idea about the egg thing in female leopard geckos. Mine is 3 years old, I bought her 7 weeks ago from a breeder. Can someone explain this a bit more for me?
i have a question about brumation. My leopard gecko is refusing to eat and its been about two weeks of her eating nothing and i have noticed her tail becoming significantly smaller yet she has no parasites. what should i do
Had the same problem with my girl. It turns out,she didnt like the food. When i try to fed her,she turned her head left and right. At first i thought she is full,but she loves to eat so it was little strange. I bought her new food and she can't get enough of it.
How common is egg binding issues
We just got a leopard gecko that has tail rot just at the tip cannot find vets in the area to treat until January is there anything I can do at home? Wish he would just drop his tail to save the rest of himself from rotting.
If there really is no way to get him to a vet soon enough, you could force him to drop his tail as a last resort. Not a pleasant thing to do, but it may be necessary to keep it from progressing.
@@nightinggale6470 thanks for the advice! Have you ever heard of the tail rot stopping or is it only a progressing problem? I haven’t noticed it moving up his tail at all but it’s only been a few days.
@@ChristiannTyler it’s possible he may only lose the end of his tail
Is it bad to have more than one leopard gecko in one tank at a time?
Generally, yes. They will fight and/or resource hoard when housed together in captivity
Can u tell me why my leopard gecko has a raw vent and I just noticed that he started spinning in circles for some reason it only when he is stressed this is a example when he is in the shedding process lol
Spinning in circles?
Sounds to Enigma Syndrome for me...
@@webodeescorpion7037rocky only does it when he is in shedding tho. I don't wanna call it Enigma in tell I know what it is yet.
I thought she was about to start talking about make up so I checked the title to make sure
I think my gecko is going into brumation and I was freaking out for nothing well my girlfriend was freaking out for nothing
just brought our one year old to the vet , hat to get him euthanised - liver failed as to was nearly yellow. Devastated .. Everything was done meticulously and to a T.
Have to replace him now and wasn't expecting it. All inside a week
