Slow week in a geckos life!

Lizzy the leopard gecko has had a slow week this week. Literally, she has been lying around sucking up the heat and sleeping. Not unusual for a reptile though. She has been getting lonely and we're thinking of getting her a companion. Leopard geckos are very territorial though, so I wonder if she'll take to a mate. Worth a try I guess! I've been changing up her food a bit lately, so I hope she'll perk up soon. She is a lot more fun when she's stocking around after her prey. I love to watch her eat.

Leopard geckos

Hey everybody, Today I'll talk about a leopard geckos shedding requirements. Your gecko will need to have a separate hiding spot with a moist medium provided inside the container (Plastic works best). Your leopard gecko will need the moist medium (peat moss, paper towel, clean cloth) to shed properly. If your gecko does not get to shed properly, it will develop skin build-up around the toes and will eventually loose them. This extra hide box should be present at all times and medium should be changed regularly! Your gecko will thank you in the end for all your hard work.
