Re: gecko shedding
Yeah I was gonna say she looked on the lean side...nothing wrong with that. Though I do love a fat tailed leopard. Its just so cute to see those pudgy tails! Is she considered "normal" colored or is she a morph?

Re: gecko shedding
What do you feed him?
Maybe if he's a bit thin, cut down on the exercise.

Or uptake (is that a word?) the fat in his diet. What are some of those worms that are higher in fat than most insects you feed? Waxworms? Nightcrawlers? Can't remember.

Re: gecko shedding
nah her tail is abit thin, that is my fault as she wasnt fed for about a week as i started struggling with finances so m to blame on that 1 but saying that i dont think shes a fat tailed leo but i am unsure of that as all i know is that she is a standard leopard but as with nenna saying about fat tails i love them myself and would love to have 1 but my next leo is gunna be a super mack snow i think and go from there as i would like to breed from her 1 day with the SMS, just for the experience tbh. im hoping that breeding large locusts will help stock her up abit. how ever i am open to suggestions though lol

she is fed on a diet of crickets, locusts (large), waxworms (once every 2 weeks), meal worms (once a month), and she always has calcium and the feed animals are always fed 2 days before feeding to the gecko (named kecko), im hoping to get her a uv bulb at some point (a flourescent tube as thas what her tank uses but i dont know what type would be recommended - uvb rating)

Re: gecko shedding
Everyone around here always preaches the word of roaches...so you could probably find tons of info on that. As for me I would think throwing in some high fat worms would put on some weight. Feed them along with the normal stuff. Once the weight is on then just stop feeding the high fat stuffs.

Leopards are nocturnal so don't need a UV bulb of any kind. It can't hurt them but it doesn't benefit them either.
