Hey everyone! Sorry about being so random with my posting lately! Also I just want to say thank you for all the new subs!! Do you think we can get to 400?
Very glad to see this. I'm always worried that my leo is stressed but the only sign she ever shows is sqeaking when she's in an uncomfortable position and that doesn't happen often. Most of the time she is very active, moves when I pet her, and etc which, from what I heard, are signs of a healthy/happy leo! I feel like she is one of a kind. She is a very VERY curious and active leopard gecko! Whenever I redo her tank (usually to both improve and clean up areas of the tank), she just HAS to check it out! It seems as if she explores every inch of her tank before settling herself under the heat lamp. She does have a few hides, it just she seems to prefer being in the open directly under the heat lamp. I placed a flat rock under it with a skull decor hanging over to give her at least some shelter. Moss is lined around the rock and I placed together a little ramp with some wood that leads over to the top of her rock hide. It's not that tall so she can safely climb up and down but whenever I check the cameras, it seems that she would rather just crawl/jump down from the rock instead of walk down :P Also I'm not sure if she would be considered obese or not. Her tail is about as wide/slightly smaller than the width of her head. I'm not sure if it would be considered healthy or not. She doesn't ever seem to have trouble balancing or walking around or anything like that.
Thank you so much! I just got my leopard gecko today, can't tell if hes albino or not.. he was pretty cheap! This video helps a lot, ive been learning!
Thanks for this video I just got my first gecko he apparently wasn’t handled a lot so I’m trying to work on it with him but I don’t want to stress or scare him so I want to know when it’s time to put him back
Hello! I would say it’s best that you handle your leopard gecko for no more than about 30 minutes at a time. They can get stressed out and cold if you handle them too much or for too long, so I would be careful.
Great Video! My albino Gecko (the one who went off food for a while) used to ALWAYS hide back when he didn't eat for me. He's eating better now and he kind comes out more. Also, Winter glass surfs when ever I feed Slinky, who is in the tank right next to her. Is she scared/stressed or just hungry? She only does it when I feed Slinky, and she doesn't do it when Slinky is out, so maybe she just is hungry. I just want to make sure my gecko isn't stressed out. Thank you! Have a good day!
Thank you! That's good to hear! If she only does it when you feed Slinky and she doesn't show any other stress signs I wouldn't worry too much. She might just be curious or hungry like you said. I hope you have a great day too!
I got my Leo about 3 weeks ago and started handling a week in because he seemed very comfortable with handling. With time he got more and more stressed when I take him out. When I would go to put him back he would glass surf like he wanted to go back out but as soon as I would even move my hand (which was not in the tank) he would wag his tail slowly. Today I put him back after and ok handling session and he started acting weird, he would try to press his face on the glass; I moved just to see him better and he quickly turned back around almost to the point of flipping over and only stood up very tall. He has not screamed, bit, wagged his tail at me, or anything that you mentioned in this video. Do you know what this might be?
Sorry for answering late! Is he still doing this? If so I would check his enclosure and be sure he has at least three hides, adequate temperatures, enough decor, and an overall safe and comfortable setup. I would also check for any possible signs of health issues such as runny or strange feces, lethargy, not eating, etc. If this goes on for very long and you can’t find out why you may want to consider getting him checked by a veterinarian. It’s always better to be safe than sorry with these things. Hope this helps at least a little :)
i have a dog and she barks quite alot and id hate for my leo to be scared, it makes me feel so bad that i just got her and she isn't able to have a quiet place. her tank and everything is perfect, i have done so much research and she's somewhat used to me now but that's the only thing that stresses me out. i also dont have any other place to put my gecko besides my room. another problem i have is that my bedroom is always dark (i have leds and string lights everywhere) but i have a lamp that i will turn on for her so she can tell the difference between day and night but i can't turn it on early enough because sometimes i get up around 8-10am and sometimes i stay up all night and sleep all day, but when i do wake up early i turn the lamp on, but the thing i'm concerned about is it's not consistent so i'm working on my sleep schedule. i hope you are looking at older comment sections because it would be appreciated if you could help me. i just got my leo from my sister (about 2-3 months ago) her name is ziggy.
My female finally dropped 2 eggs!! But they were smoshed and it was her first so probably weren't fertile anyway. Just glad she's is they both are at the age now! They will have gorgeous babies. But since she stopped eating and not a bad thing cause she was a little overweight. Great video!!
My 14 year old male leo is hiding alot in his warm hide. He only eats 1 mealworm or super worm or rarely eat a wax worm. They often come to the exit to watch but will never leave.
Hey ik this video is pretty old but if anyone sees this im wondering about my gecko, she hasnt been eating much or just seems less interested in her food, i redid her enclosure before she started acting like this. She still roams around outside her tank fine and actually eats when i have her out with me. Ive had her for a few months now. Lastly im wondering because you said if they hide alot thats not a good sign but my gecko roams from the cold and hot spots of her enclosure is that alright?
Just wanted to add that most of the time when they glass surf means they’re bored and not getting enough enrichment within their enclosure not really that they’re stressed.
I need help idk what to do my leopard gecko has been really scared for a week because my cat spooked him and he is still scared even though it was a week ago and I love him with all my heart 😭
My leo hisses at night at least once or twice. Shes out and about but mainly just lays in a couple places i see when shes out at night. This is the only problem ive been having. Besides tail waving once or twice when i bring her out. She has no problem with me handling her though. She usually crawls onto my hand and up my arms. But the night hissing stresses me out. Idk if it because she doesnt have a heat source at night because i turn all lights off because no light is best for them. A temp drop is also good for them at nights. Its aroung 75 degrees in my room. Shes also has a 40 gallon with a sand mat, 3 hides and plenty of fake bushy desert plants some faie succulents. She has large peices of wood to climb on also. And the necessities like food, water and cacium dish. She gets a large super warm ever other day and poops regualry. I just dont know why she hisses at night. I feel like its the temp drop but its healthy for leos to have a temp drop at nights. Shes 7 months old
,My leo is glass surfing and wags his tail when I try petting him, he only wags when I try petting him and he's tierd, he dosnt have anything to climb on so that's why I think he's glass surfing his climbing stuff will be here shortly
Hi my Leo has been in her humid/cold hide for the past week and only goes to the warm hide at night so she won’t eat is there anyway I can fix this and I’m not really worried now since she is still chunky
Thank you for this cus I got a baby leopard geko and it’s not eating and it’s hiding but yesterday when it was night time it was exploring a lot any ways thx
First of all mine is a baby like he is very very small and for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to try and handle it. He jumped off my hand ran under my bed I got a top to pin him down and I cut off his tail THEN HIS FOOT. And I’m scared he is going to die because I have to get him food because I just got him and he has to regrow a foot and his tail without any stored up nutrients because he doesn’t have a tail anymore. I just hope he makes it through. Any experience with something like this happening. Did yours make it through. I just need someone who knows this experience to talk to.
Glass surfing is normal when you first get your leopard gecko because they are unused to their surroundings. He should stop once he gets settled in a little more. Just in case, you may want to check and make sure his enclosure temperatures are where they should be and that his cage is as comfortable as possible for him.
LMAO i got so scared when my geko was glass surfing i didnt know why but i bought him new hides which is probably what made him do that i started freaking out
Thanks I just moved my leopard gecko to my old bearded dragons cage witch is a 50 gallon and he was glass serfing I thought he was like sick or something
My leapord gecko, which I received for Christmas, absolutely hates me. They are from PetCo, are shedding, and I’m scared that he may die. I am new to having reptiles, but I’ve wanted one since I was 6, He’s probally stressed due to being thrown into a new habitat, but still..
Older video but if you see my comment, I rescued a female leopard gecko she is super sweet she likes laying on my chest for body heat, when I picked her up to put her back in her clean tank, she started chirping at me! I don’t know why it wasn’t super loud or anything but I just don’t know exactly what it meant?
I'm a first time leapord gecko owner. She hides in here little cave and comes out once in a while to eat, drink, bathe, or poo. Yeah she did the tail thing to me when I held my hand to have her crawl on me. I told her it's okay baby girl, then she jumped on my hand and chilled. Also she likes to be pet so I gently rub my finger down her head.
I moved my gecko into a new Terrarium and he started climbing up the glass door every were I read that the Terrarium is too small but it cant be because he is living in a 120cm x 60cm x60cm terrarium after your Video I am thinking that he might need more caves ore things to hide thank you for your video 👍
I think my leopard gecko is constapated 😞 he has a big belly and does not poop regularly but we are giving him the right treatment so hopefully he gets better.
I've had a lot of people ask me that! Unfortunately I am not very pleased with my feeder insect setups and gut loading right now and I am planning on setting up a Dubia roach and mealworm colony soon. I'll definitely try to make a video when I get that done!
Question, my Leopard Gecko won’t let me go near her, recently I got a cat who would always sit on her cage staring at her. I think my gecko is like, traumatized from our cat. I don’t know what to do.
when I got my leopard gecko she was given to me by my bf, she squeaked when I moved her into her cage ;w; I think its cause she wasn't used to it and was a little spooked.
I don’t mean to overstep but actually if they are waving there tail slowly and hi this means that they are in hunting mode so they distract their pray with the tail so they can strike
Yes that can be true but they also do it sometimes when they are scared. My leopard geckos do this a lot when they are out of the cage and a loud noise or sudden movement scares them.
I’ve had my leopard gecko for a little over a year now and he’s always really happy/active but recently he has been hiding in he’s cool hide way to much the past week I’m not sure if it’s the heat bc it’s been extremely hot outside the past little while but idk what’s wrong with him…
I’d say that’s pretty normal, especially with younger leopard geckos and certain morphs. As long as your gecko isn’t showing symptoms of anything and otherwise seems normal I wouldn’t worry too much. But I’m not a vet, so if you really think something is wrong I would get it checked out. Hope this helps a little :)
Oh your Leopard gecko is soo big, my is so small and he is about 1,5 year :( Do you have basic Leopard gecko? How old is he? maybe your is older than main thats why is bigger?😅
I'm really hoping, that you are still looking at older video comment sections. I am in the weird situation with my 3month old leopard gecko. The moving in, and getting used to me process went really good. We were at the state of her finally brave enough to eat from my palm, and feel safe enough to even go walk on it to get the millworms. But for the last 4 feeding times, she knows, that its me, its feeding time, she gets really excited, yet as soon as my hands are going for the front sliding window of her enclosure, she slowly walks away and when i try to hand him the food, she just starts to go back to her hideout, refusing to eat from even clippers or from the ground when i put them in. Im a bit worried now, and im in need of some help. Im hoping that you can serve me some kind of explanation to this, because im doing this with patience for months now, nothing changed, im doing a routine to make it easy for her i even do have some distance, not doing it every feeding time, so its not forced. Im just worried you know. Sorry my english is not top notch, but im hoping you can at least make me somewhat less worried. Thank you!
Hey I’m not totally sure why she would be doing that, but they do go through weird phases sometimes. Did anything happen recently that could have made her scared of you? And have you noticed any other weird behavior?
First of all Thank You for answering and taking the time. Nothing really happened here since. Im usually a calm and silent person, and im aware of her presence so im not blasting music or anything. She dont look stressed out, no tailwaving and such. She actually notices me, as we do our routine, i put the night lights on, she gets out of her hide, yawns sometimes, walks slowly to her favourite little fossil branch and looks at me as i prepare her food and everything. I open her front door enclosure, she gets excited comes a little bit closer, as soon as i move the clipper, or my finger close to the enclosure she backs. Even if i try to stay as far away as i can and put her food on the fossil, or the foodbowl. Luckly, shes eating.. because her food is gone next time i check her. But its just odd. Also! She started to nap nowadays on her little palace at the top (she have a "rocky wall" on the back of the enclosure handmade out of cement) and spends most of the time there at night. One last thing i should tell, and i think it "can be"? a problem, is that the left side of her enclosure, is just plain glass, and maybe she sees the mirror image of the same hand that goes in from the front. Please confirm if i should try to paint it black, or maybe "glue" a cover on it. Roomtemp is around 25C, her enclosure air temp is 26C, cold hide 24C, warm hide 26C, warm spot under the heatlamp 27.5C.
Hello, I’m so sorry for not responding sooner. Is she still acting like this? From what you’ve described her behavior seems pretty normal and healthy, besides her being scared of your hand. I wouldn’t be too worried, as long as she's active and seems to be eating fine. My only guess is it might just be a phase. It could be she’s getting more aware that something big and moving like your hand could potentially be a predator. My leopard geckos have gone through phases too where they haven’t wanted to be held at all. Her warm side/basking temperatures do seem a little low to me though. The basking surface temperature should be around 33-35 C and the warm hide around 31-33 C in the day. It can get quite a bit lower at night though. Sorry if all this isn’t too helpful, I wish I knew why she is acting this way. Hope you have a great day :)
@@theartsygecko9518 Lately she's getting a bit more brave, its completely fine for her if i try to pick her up. I think its maybe the way i changed her enclosure and upgraded the heating a little. She seems more active, and eats normally. Only thing that changed and bothers me a bit, that shes not getting that much sleep. Often walking around in the morning and sleeping during the night. But as far as eating, pooping and other stuff goes, i think shes just the way she is C: Thanks for your guide!
Sometimes my leopard gecko will bite my finger because he thinks it is a Millwarm is this OK. After he realizes it is my hand he doesn’t bite me though please respond
What kind of substrate are you using? Some leopard geckos have a natural instinct to dig, and if you aren't using loose substrate already I would recommend you switch to something like organic topsoil/play sand mix, or at least provide a dig box. It's very enriching for leopard geckos to dig and a lot them like to do it.
I just got my leopard gecko five or so days ago. He's been eating well (I have also noticed that he's pooped) and coming out of his enclosure during the evening. However, I have noticed him glass surfing. Do you think he's stressed or getting used to his new enclosure? I just want to make sure he is ok and to find out if there is anything I need to change.
As long as he has a proper setup(at least three hides, good temperatures, enough decor, etc.) I wouldn't worry too much. It's normal for them to be kind of stressed out when you first get them, and glass surfing usually isn't a huge deal. You may want to check over his cage just in case to make sure everything is safe and comfortable for him though. Good luck :)
This is very informative, I already subscribed and I hope you reach 400 and even a thousand. Question, how often and how much to feed a leopard gecko? Does it depends on their age? Hope you can make a video about it as well!
Thank you so much! It does depend on how old they are. Baby leopard geckos should be fed every day until they reach about 6-7 months old, then I would switch to every other day. You should start feeding them about 2-3 times a week once they reach a year old. Normally I would feed as many of your staple insects as your leopard gecko will eat, but not over 7-8. You can also feed treats like superworms or waxworms but no more than a few every two weeks or so. I hope this isn't too confusing!
She is definitely huge, and not on steroids lol. She’s been like that since she was a baby and is also overweight. I’ve had her on a diet for a while. She’s just extremely big for a leopard gecko, especially a female😅
Hi! I know this was 3 years ago but please dont feed your gecko to much! Your gecko looks obese which if you dont know means really unhealthy and i heard they can die from being to big because theh cant get the food down all the way ;(
I don't wanna be mean, but I think your leopard gecko is obese. I don't know if you know that and if your gecko is on a diet, but please look into this. It can seriously cause damage to their health
Yeah I know and I've had a lot of people tell me that😂 She is on a diet and has been for quite a long while. She really doesn't eat much at all, but is losing weight VERY slowly. I honestly feel super bad
Hey everyone! Sorry about being so random with my posting lately! Also I just want to say thank you for all the new subs!! Do you think we can get to 400?

when I got my leopard gecko she was given to me by my bf, she squeaked when I moved her into her cage ;w; I think its cause she wasn't used to it and was a little spooked.
That is probably the case, yes :)
I don’t mean to overstep but actually if they are waving there tail slowly and hi this means that they are in hunting mode so they distract their pray with the tail so they can strike
Yes that can be true but they also do it sometimes when they are scared. My leopard geckos do this a lot when they are out of the cage and a loud noise or sudden movement scares them.
Apparently my gecko is very tamed and happy because I got her 5 months ago and she’s not showed any of these
Wow so mine is just scared shes fine when i hold her or drop crikets in i thought she was just lazy and slept all day
I’ve had my leopard gecko for a little over a year now and he’s always really happy/active but recently he has been hiding in he’s cool hide way to much the past week I’m not sure if it’s the heat bc it’s been extremely hot outside the past little while but idk what’s wrong with him…
He also hasn’t been eating as much only maybe 3 times a week
I think he might be okay I turned off his lamp for a bit and it was also not as hot outside today so I think it was just the heat bugging him
is it normal if I kinda see my geckos organs? or is it crypto? :(
I’d say that’s pretty normal, especially with younger leopard geckos and certain morphs. As long as your gecko isn’t showing symptoms of anything and otherwise seems normal I wouldn’t worry too much. But I’m not a vet, so if you really think something is wrong I would get it checked out. Hope this helps a little :)
i was always told the chirping was a good thing! i'm glad i know now that it is not.
Oh your Leopard gecko is soo big, my is so small and he is about 1,5 year :(
Do you have basic Leopard gecko? How old is he? maybe your is older than main thats why is bigger?😅
She is 3 years old I believe, but she is also overweight and on a diet so I would not worry if your gecko is smaller :)
My new Laporte gecko walk aroundin steath mode
What do that mean
I'm really hoping, that you are still looking at older video comment sections.
I am in the weird situation with my 3month old leopard gecko. The moving in, and getting used to me process went really good. We were at the state of her finally brave enough to eat from my palm, and feel safe enough to even go walk on it to get the millworms. But for the last 4 feeding times, she knows, that its me, its feeding time, she gets really excited, yet as soon as my hands are going for the front sliding window of her enclosure, she slowly walks away and when i try to hand him the food, she just starts to go back to her hideout, refusing to eat from even clippers or from the ground when i put them in.
Im a bit worried now, and im in need of some help. Im hoping that you can serve me some kind of explanation to this, because im doing this with patience for months now, nothing changed, im doing a routine to make it easy for her i even do have some distance, not doing it every feeding time, so its not forced. Im just worried you know.
Sorry my english is not top notch, but im hoping you can at least make me somewhat less worried.
Thank you!
Hey I’m not totally sure why she would be doing that, but they do go through weird phases sometimes. Did anything happen recently that could have made her scared of you? And have you noticed any other weird behavior?
First of all Thank You for answering and taking the time.
Nothing really happened here since. Im usually a calm and silent person, and im aware of her presence so im not blasting music or anything.
She dont look stressed out, no tailwaving and such. She actually notices me, as we do our routine, i put the night lights on, she gets out of her hide, yawns sometimes, walks slowly to her favourite little fossil branch and looks at me as i prepare her food and everything. I open her front door enclosure, she gets excited comes a little bit closer, as soon as i move the clipper, or my finger close to the enclosure she backs. Even if i try to stay as far away as i can and put her food on the fossil, or the foodbowl. Luckly, shes eating.. because her food is gone next time i check her. But its just odd.
Also! She started to nap nowadays on her little palace at the top (she have a "rocky wall" on the back of the enclosure handmade out of cement) and spends most of the time there at night.
One last thing i should tell, and i think it "can be"? a problem, is that the left side of her enclosure, is just plain glass, and maybe she sees the mirror image of the same hand that goes in from the front. Please confirm if i should try to paint it black, or maybe "glue" a cover on it.
Roomtemp is around 25C, her enclosure air temp is 26C, cold hide 24C, warm hide 26C, warm spot under the heatlamp 27.5C.
Hello, I’m so sorry for not responding sooner. Is she still acting like this? From what you’ve described her behavior seems pretty normal and healthy, besides her being scared of your hand. I wouldn’t be too worried, as long as she's active and seems to be eating fine. My only guess is it might just be a phase. It could be she’s getting more aware that something big and moving like your hand could potentially be a predator. My leopard geckos have gone through phases too where they haven’t wanted to be held at all. Her warm side/basking temperatures do seem a little low to me though. The basking surface temperature should be around 33-35 C and the warm hide around 31-33 C in the day. It can get quite a bit lower at night though. Sorry if all this isn’t too helpful, I wish I knew why she is acting this way. Hope you have a great day :)
@@theartsygecko9518 Lately she's getting a bit more brave, its completely fine for her if i try to pick her up. I think its maybe the way i changed her enclosure and upgraded the heating a little. She seems more active, and eats normally. Only thing that changed and bothers me a bit, that shes not getting that much sleep. Often walking around in the morning and sleeping during the night. But as far as eating, pooping and other stuff goes, i think shes just the way she is C:
Thanks for your guide!
Sometimes my leopard gecko will bite my finger because he thinks it is a Millwarm is this OK. After he realizes it is my hand he doesn’t bite me though please respond
Yes that can happen a lot. Leopard geckos can easily mistake your finger for food
Thank you
What does it mean if your leopard gecko tries to eat your sweatshirt strings
They’re hungry lol
Why does my leo just dig and scratch I changed nothing
What kind of substrate are you using? Some leopard geckos have a natural instinct to dig, and if you aren't using loose substrate already I would recommend you switch to something like organic topsoil/play sand mix, or at least provide a dig box. It's very enriching for leopard geckos to dig and a lot them like to do it.
@@theartsygecko9518 eco earth
Oh ok. It's natural for them to dig, so I wouldn't worry too much unless your gecko starts acting weird otherwise.
I just got my leopard gecko five or so days ago. He's been eating well (I have also noticed that he's pooped) and coming out of his enclosure during the evening. However, I have noticed him glass surfing. Do you think he's stressed or getting used to his new enclosure? I just want to make sure he is ok and to find out if there is anything I need to change.
As long as he has a proper setup(at least three hides, good temperatures, enough decor, etc.) I wouldn't worry too much. It's normal for them to be kind of stressed out when you first get them, and glass surfing usually isn't a huge deal. You may want to check over his cage just in case to make sure everything is safe and comfortable for him though. Good luck :)
@@theartsygecko9518 ok thank you!
What morph is yours?
My geckos squeak sometimes, mostly me female
This is very informative, I already subscribed and I hope you reach 400 and even a thousand. Question, how often and how much to feed a leopard gecko? Does it depends on their age? Hope you can make a video about it as well!
Thank you so much! It does depend on how old they are. Baby leopard geckos should be fed every day until they reach about 6-7 months old, then I would switch to every other day. You should start feeding them about 2-3 times a week once they reach a year old. Normally I would feed as many of your staple insects as your leopard gecko will eat, but not over 7-8. You can also feed treats like superworms or waxworms but no more than a few every two weeks or so. I hope this isn't too confusing!
what about leg twitching?
Not sure I’ve heard of that being a sign of stress 🤷♀️
My god, is it that you have baby hands or is it that the little Godzilla is like on steroids or something?
She is definitely huge, and not on steroids lol. She’s been like that since she was a baby and is also overweight. I’ve had her on a diet for a while. She’s just extremely big for a leopard gecko, especially a female😅
@@theartsygecko9518 Thanks for answering!
Is your leo overweight....
Haha my gecko eats all the time
Hi! I know this was 3 years ago but please dont feed your gecko to much! Your gecko looks obese which if you dont know means really unhealthy and i heard they can die from being to big because theh cant get the food down all the way ;(
I don't wanna be mean, but I think your leopard gecko is obese. I don't know if you know that and if your gecko is on a diet, but please look into this. It can seriously cause damage to their health
Yeah I know and I've had a lot of people tell me that😂 She is on a diet and has been for quite a long while. She really doesn't eat much at all, but is losing weight VERY slowly. I honestly feel super bad
🤔 why do you say gecko like “leopard g-o”
Yeah my voice can be weird sometimes :l
It may also be I’m so used to saying the word all the time in my videos hehe :P
