Hello! I just got my new Leopard Gecko buddy two days ago. He(or she not sure yet) is my first reptile, and I love them so far! I’m thinking about naming them Sage~



Anyway, I was hoping to get a few beginner’s tips on feeding. I’ve fed them 3 crickets and 3 mealworms, dusted in calcium(I intend to switch from calcium without d3 and with d3). They’re about 4 months old, so I think that’s enough food? I also wasn’t sure if feeding both crickets and mealworms each night was a good idea, I was just thinking it would preserve my crickets a little longer. Any thoughts?

ah that's so cute !! I would suggest putting the calcium (I presume it's without D3) into a small bottle cap rather than a whole dish. And yes feeding both crickets and mealworms is ok, I tend to switch for my geckos to give them a variety. it's perfectly fine.

hi! so, i've had my crestie for a little under 6 months. he's so happy with his current home, and he's doing great!
anyways, for the past two months, i've been interested in getting a leopard gecko as well. i've finally convinced my parents to let me get one! i have some questions for leopard gecko owners.

1. do you prefer reptile-carpet or eco-earth for flooring?
2. how big should their terrariums be? i've heard 20 galloons, but i'd like a second opinion.
3. i plan on getting mine from a reptile expo coming up in january. what kind of questions should i ask the seller?
4. how many crickets do you feed a full-grown gecko? how often?

it'll be about a month until the expo, so i plan on doing tons of research, but i figured i'd start here.

any help is appreciated! thank you!

helloo ^^ i haven't any reptiles, but i love snakes vv much, in the future i will be getting one. (in a couple years) any recommendations? i already have rosy boas and ball pythons on my list. a small one would be preferable, not like a red tailed boa or anything!

rosy boas and sand boas are on my list of manageable small snakes c: I have a Kenyan sand boa of my own (today's feeding day aye) and I love her

aw, i love kenyans, they are adorable! i meant to add to my post, does anyone know anything on rubber boas? they seem to be small and apparently "gentle".. sooooooooooooooo i'd assume those are nice. i might be looking too far ahead into the future though, my mother is VERY scared of snakes and i'm not getting into college very soon aha
