FRIESO it doesn’t hurt. Bc if covid I couldn’t get my adult leopard gecko any food for a few days(all stores had run out) so I ended up putting calcium on my finger and she nawed on it. It only felt strange Bc she is was trying to eat me - but you really can barely feel it in reality

@@alpakkald4673 it just takes time. I have only ever had 1 leopard gecko that I didn't have to work with to tame them down. When your wanting to hold your leopard gecko you know you don't mean that animal any harm. But that animal doesn't know that. The world is a scary place for a little one like that.

I got a baby high yellow leopard gecko five days ago. I just started hand feeding him today. For the first couple of days all he'd to was hide. I was blessed that he ate everyday for me, but I was still annoyed that he hid every day. Today I noticed he was out of his cave that was on top of another cave. He was on the first kevek and finally soaking up some heat from the heat mat.

[@alexcroy101]

I just got mine 5 days ago, I named him Leo, I haven't been hand feeding him because I flinch too much, but two days ago he started exploring his tank for the first time, and he eats all his food. He still runs from me, but only initially or If I move too quickly, I think he's getting better with me. I put my hand in his tank and he came over and smelled it before walking away

Hello! I saw your comment and it immediately related to me. I got a baby lepord gecko five days ago in the second day I put my hand in there and he wouldn't budge either. He was always hiding. But at least he was eating. Ive never had him his at me but I have had him run away. Try holding a cricket in your hand or wax worm. You could give him a treat and start hand feeding him. I started hand feeding mine just today. Don't be discouraged

[@Jmitez]

[@Lucailey]

My baby leo is such a great eater! He had been shipped to me over night and i had been at work that day so he had to wait 8 hours before I could bring him in and all. He was not shy. He walked around his tank explored and was like "Yep, im king here." I hadn't gotten him food for the first day because i assume he wouldn't want to eat. I think if i had he would have scarfed it down. On the second day he ate like nobody's business. I've had him about 2 weeks now and he LOVES to eat! The thing is that I live feed him - so far it's been the little crickets and mealworms.He loves his food! My consern is....when can you start holding them? He is so tiny I am afraid to hold him. I don't want to pinch him when I pick him up or freak him out. But, I want him to be tame when he is larger.

Just got my first leopard gecko about a little over a month ago. Hoping it's a boy, but will love it either way. His name is Hades. Glad you did this video because I was wondering how long it will take before he is better with being picked up and this has answered that question. I think that is the hardest thing for me is wanting to love on him the way I do all my other reptiles but I can't yet because he's not ready.

Thank you so much for being so straightforward. I'm a first-time owner of a baby leopard gecko. I get nervous all the time about little things that my gecko does and you made me feel a lot better! I do have one question though if my gecko stops eating what should I do? I have normally been just dropping his food in there and letting it crawl around. I've been giving him mealworms and crickets. He seems to not be eating. When I first got him he was eating a lot. And now it seems like he's not eating at all. Should I start giving him his food in a dish? I'm just wondering if maybe he's having a hard time finding his food... Also he didn't poop for a few days but he just did yesterday and it was pretty big so maybe he was just a little constipated. Also when I got them from the pet store they did not tell me to give him calcium which I've started giving him now but they told me to put it in a small dish and just leave it in there is that going to be okay for him? I give him fresh water everyday and he is still drinking water. Any info you can give me would be great thank you so so much!

I’ve noticed that if I put too many bugs in her tank at once with feeding she gets overwhelmed and won’t eat, so I only feed her one at a time. we’ve gotten along really well and she started to climb to the door of her tanks wanting to come out and I would place my hand in her tank a lot and she would crawl on. But recently she had stopped wanting to come out and crawling in my hand. I don’t know if I did anything wrong but I’m still trying at the taming process

Leopard geckos will usually eat until full, so you don’t usually have to worry about over feeding. But yeah, I’d only feed about every other day and about 5-7 worms (it varies on the size and what kind of food though). But do your research and figure out what works for you. Never only ever listen to one or two people.

[@real4978]

@@alexcroy101 it really depends on the size. I think large is enough but small is probably too little. I’m not exactly an expert though, but I’d recommend just feeding until they stop. Most leopard geckos will stop when full. Also variety is key. It’s like if all you ate was broccoli. It’s good for you, but you can’t just eat it and never anything else.

I get a lot of conflicting information on this so looking for advice if you can. I purchased 2 female Leo’s, and I was told they could be housed together and will 80% chance get along perfectly. I purchased them from a very reputable shop that I have been shopping in for the past 6 years for live food, and they always gave great advice on my beardie. Some people say that Leo’s should never be housed together, some people say that 2 females are okay together. They are in a 4ft viv with plenty of hides and space. Worst case I will separate them but the only spare viv I have is a 3 foot which is plenty of space for a Leo but doesn’t feel very fair!!

Love your channel, very informative. I like the idea of breading their food. Question: I have two new hatchlings, one born four days ago and another born six days ago--neither has eaten yet.

All advise welcomed, I don't want these little guys to die.

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

Can they get to the food or see the food ? I'd personally check the normal temp and humidity then look at the food. Mine always go for mealworms however dubia roaches I've had success with

[@TC-gc5rt]

NORTHERN EXOTICS Thank you for your reply. I have meal worms for them. I also ordered pin crickets as a backup plan. One climbed over his meal worm dish so he should know its there. I will move the humidifier thermometer to the one of their spaces and see what it looks like but I keep it pretty moist. The paper towel dries out too quickly so I replaced it with Sphagnum Moss just under their hide and then mist the space twice daily outside of the hide. Maybe just let the meal worms roam freely (keeping a count)? Any other thoughts? I’m a bit concerned they will die; albeit still seem to be holding their strength.

[@asmrsleep3079]

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

Awesome name

[@sydneypetitt1666]

hey! Ny baby leopard gecko went into her hide when she got into her tank and hasnt come out in a few days. Is this a normal thing? should I even be worried?

[@top2not2___]

You shouldn’t be worried, they only come out at dusk and dawn, so you probably won’t see them running around to much unless it’s feeding

i recently got a tug snow 5 days ago and i know this is a mistake but the first 5 hours of it being here i handled it for a while it surprisingly didnt jump at all, other than when i first touched it. I then did some more digging and realized it needed more time to settle. But it seems to always be in its hide even at night and only comes out right before dawn (not awake). I know this is somewhat normal but, how long do i wait until i can start lifting the hide and begin to tame it. I also dont think he is drinking from the water bowl. he has a heat mat and a perfect enclosure. but ive never seen him willingly leave the hode and explore. Please help

He’s whatching this vid right now

It’s my first year hatching out some leopard geckos. I’ve been leaving them in the incubator a few days after they hatch to soak up the egg sack and all that I’ve been putting them together inside of a 20 gallon enclosures right now I have about 10 in there, the last two I put in there they were kind of smaller today I checked them. Both of their tails are gone so I also have another one with an eye that’s staying closed one day it’s open the next day. It’s closed one day open next day closed there’s nothing coming out of it so I put him by himself. I’m not sure if he’s eating and I’m not sure if that other little runt with the tail, all the way gone already is eating either, so I put them in their own enclosure to try to monitor. See if they’re eating, but it seems like I’m finding the crickets dead in there but not ate I have all the correct tides though multiple hides human height ha ha. Its temperature is correct so wondering if I should do this another way and how to get the ones it’s not eating to try and eat I’ve been tongs trying to tongue feed them but it’s not working I know for the first three days or so they don’t eat, but one of them is really kind of small and I’m just not feeling good about it

I have a 1 year old leopard gecko and his name is Layla we thought that she was a fire but he’s a boy I didn’t change the name an he is still she to me

[@iluv_animalss]

I have a question, do you know what morph that is? My baby looks very similar. 😅

[@melissaverdon1090]

Thalale( tha-la-le.) Just got one today

I just recently purchased a 3 month old leopard gecko. I have a calcium dish in the tank at all times that is filled with repti calcium without D3. I feed him everyday and dust his food with repti calcium with D3. On the weekends I dust his food with rep cal herptivite multivitamins. Are the supplements that I am using effective and is this routine good?

[@Tracor3k99]

I'm prepping for a little one, and I've read mixed things. Should I use vitamins AND a uvb bulb?

[@julianaramirez9293]

I just got mine 3 weeks ago! It’s name is Tuque!

[@EeYeet7]

Today is the second day I've had my leo, their name is Doc. I wanted to know if two layers of a pretty thick paper towel is too much to put over the bottom of the tank? When I put the back of my hand on the spot where it is it seems to not be as warm as expected. Also, the thermometer reads around 120F but at this point I don't know if that's a correct reading because of the heat I can feel being put off . Is there a specific place I should place the probe for the best reading?

[@reeceh6706]

The probe goes on top of the substrate

[@antondand8494]

Can I put a baby leopard gecko into a bioactive setup. I have had the setup ready for the last month and all the humidity and temperatures are running great. Just wondered about a baby leopard gecko in there. Love the channel.

[@izzydanzey]

are you not supposed to give them calcium with D3 if you have a UVB light?? I just got my baby yesterday and she’s my first reptile

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

Calcium with d3 is you don't have a uvb bulb . Without d3 is you use a uvb bulb
