Sorry for the long comment! Thank you so much for your videos. I got my gecko early December and she is my life now. Today marks the milestone of her letting me handle her. I've been placing my hand in her enclosure about an hour after feeding for 5-15 minutes at a time. She used to hide, then she would just stare, then she would approach and smell my hand. Today she climbed on and stood on my hand for the first time. I didn't lift her because I was afraid that I would spook her. I let her climb on, lay for around 10 min, and climb off when she wanted. Thank you for making these amazing videos, and if it wasn't for you I would have never gotten my little baby girl.

My geckos toe rotted off before. My geckos toe got strangled by stuck shed because when I first got her I didn’t know she needed a humid hide to help her shed. I was on vacation for about a little less than a week so The shed went unnoticed. I got back from vacation and half of her toe looked black and brittle and I panicked. I emailed a vet as soon as I saw this and they said she could have snagged the toe or it was caused from stuck shed but I am assuming it was stuck shed because I didn’t have a humid hide. They also told me to add the humid hide in the future and bring her to the vet. I had to wait a few days or so for my dad to ride me over to the nearby exotic vet (he has work). I googled what to do in the mean time and emailed a couple of experienced gecko owners. I kept the tank as clean and simple as possible to avoid infections and injury to the toe. I soaked her feet in warm water and let her dry her feet by walking on a towel. After I would soak her feet daily I had to apply some kind of Neosporin (this was about 2017 so I don’t remember exactly what kind but I’m sure you can still find what kind of Neosporin is safe for reptiles on google). The toe ended up healing nicely before going to the vet so I was told that she didn’t really have to go at this point since the wound was basically done healing. The rotten part of the toe had fallen off and the “nub” left over looked fine and sealed by skin. It healed up really well. She doesn’t have a full toe now but she is healthy other than that. Currently, She has part of her toe still there but it’s only half and it’s doing fine too. She doesn’t seem affected by having only half of a toe either because she climbs around her tank and on people pretty well. She eats normal and acts normal. Hasn’t had any stuck shed since I put a humid hide. It was a scary experience and I’m not letting her lose anymore toes

Remove stuck shed on Leo’s are actually easier than most ppl think(don’t u hate the little piece of shed on their tiny toes, plz don’t mistake their nails as stuck shed cuz I did and their nails don’t grow back) . This is my go to option bath them in a container(with a lid), nothing too small or too big, with water mix with baby oil. Let them in for 15 mins. Then take them out, cuz it’s impossible to do this while they in the container cuz they are just too sensitive. Then when they r on ur hand or arm or whatever, use the other hand to gentle rub stuck shed, and dip some of water , repeat the process. And when the shed is about to come off just use the tip of ur finger to grab it.

I was surprised that my Leo I rescued had all his toes considering he was never given a humid/moist hide in the entirety of his life before me, so seeing he didn't have stuck sheds was surprising. The first 3 sheds in the time he's been with me, he had a little bit left on his toes. He didn't enjoy soaking so instead I would dip his little feet in some warm water then with a wet q tip I'd gently rub it off. After the 3rd shed, he's been shedding very smoothly and actually uses his humid hide. I don't think he understood the purpose during those first 3 sheds because he didn't use it til after the 3rd shed, poor guy.

I rehomed an old leopard gecko because the owner was moving. I have never seen this gecko in my life so it was sorta a suprise. I brought him home with the tank and such. When i got him out of his enclosure to take a look i was very suprised. His tail looked to have fallen off earlier in his life and regrew it because it was all lumpy and not normal looking. Also his toes had multiple layers of stuck shed on them. I gave him a good soak and they easily peeled off. His toes were purple and some were even bleeding. Its been several months and he is in great health. Im so happy i could give him another chance.

I got my very first leo from a shop and it had a small band of skin around its leg. I later realized it was an issue once the leg started to swell a bit. I then removed the skin and all was well again! It's important to note that this only worked because the leg wasn't rotted. Just simply swollen.

Hi, so I have a baby leopard gecko and i just noticed today that the tip of his tail is red. I don't know how this happened b/c whenever he sheds, he gets all of it off. What do I do???? :(

My beardie had soooo many layers of stuck shed. I just bathed him daily and after a few months of special care and bathing, he was fine. The tail tip is dead but the vet said it’s better to just leave it there. Edit: I rescued him like that! I didn’t neglect him :P

HELP ANYONE!! Leopard gecko! the tip of my Leo’s tail is bleeding. I helped it shed by using a wet and warm Q tip. After I was done it started bleeding a little. What do I do? Is his tail going to rot?

I’m panicking man, I rescued a bearded dragon baby and I THINK he had tail rot and it’s just a little bit but I’ve recently found out that there is no reptile vet near. What do I do

I have a baby bearded dragon and his tail is dark on the end. Also his scales are dark so I can't tell if it is spreading. Its just a little bit black on the end and has been black for over 2 months. Should I be worried?

I have a leopard gecko but I recently haven't been taking good care because I couldn't afford food or a lamp at the time yesterday I didn't notice his tail was kinda red and crispy? I had just noticed today, you mentioned hypothermia? It's been kinda cold lately but he's been in a room, I don't think he shedded could it be a burn?

So, sorry if this is a long-winded answer, but im thinking of getting a gecko or bearded dragon So, if i keep his diet good n varied, keep him alone (as in without other lizards, obviously lots of cuddles from me :D) and keep him bathed & all his shedded skin off, i should be fine with tail rot? Im just scared cos ive never owned one before, and i really hate illness & stuff.

Do you need to weigh your leopard gecko? If so what should i buy to weigh it and how often do i have to weigh it?
@leopardgeckotalk
@leopardgeckotalk 5 жыл бұрын
I just do it as its handy to know what their usual weight is. I use digital kitchen scales. Babies I'd weigh weekly, juvis maybe every 1 or 2 weeks, and adults monthly. You dont have to :)
