Leopard geckos are lucky in that there are relatively few health issues which tend to affect them. However, tail loss is one of these issues. Dropping their tail is a defense mechanism which enables leopard geckos to escape from predators, though it can cause some problems.

A gecko will grow a new tail if they lose theirs, though the tail which they grow back won’t usually look much like the tail they have lost; it tends to be a different shape and is often white rather than its original color. Of course, a gecko doesn’t worry too much about its looks, though you might prefer the way your pet looks with their original tail!

However, the way your pet leopard gecko’s new tail looks isn’t the real problem. The problem is that losing their tail can make your pet less healthy – a gecko which has lost their tail will be stressed and weakened and more susceptible to disease.

If your pet should lose their tail, they’ll need special care to keep them in good health and prevent infection from setting in as their tail grows back. You may want to keep the injured gecko in a different tank (if you currently house your leopard gecko with others). Make sure that the tank is kept very warm; in fact, any time your gecko is sick you should increase the temperature of their tank. They should have plenty of fresh water and food available while they heal as well.

Shedding is another thing which can pose a health hazard to your leopard gecko. Some of these animals have difficulty shedding for a variety of reasons. It may be too cool inside the tank, the humidity level may be too low, they may have a vitamin deficiency (usually it’s more vitamin A that they need) or even be infested with parasites. This is rare, but a leopard gecko with parasites won’t shed. You can check for parasites by looking carefully at their skin, especially between their toes.

If your leopard gecko is unable to shed for too long they can become sick. Rather than letting things get to this point, make sure to properly care for your pet to prevent these problems from occurring in the first place.

We are Leopard Gecko enthusiasts who were tired of finding incomplete information about our pet Geckos. We enlisted the help of some serious gecko enthusiasts,breeders,owners, and veterinarians who helped us compile information for people who just wanted to know how to take care of their Leopard Geckos knowledgeably and safely. Please visit our website to learn every thing you need to know.

At the risk of sounding unkind, I need to discuss this subject, not in order to vent, but in an attempt to study the creatures that inhabit the outer grounds of my childrens’ HIGH PERFORMING MAGNET SCHOOL.  Don’t forget it, anyone.  No parents would actually state that overtly (false modesty is a perfected art among the upper middle class), but they shout it louder than ever with the revs of their Lexi engines, which form the sparkling sea of abundance, that celebrates the consumption of pricey fossil fuels at every pick up and drop off on each school day.  They will say it with the swagger on the dirty little path to the next PTA meeting, and in the way they elbow you at the volunteer sign-up table or when they tell you that that OTHER school has a lot of kids on the “free and reduced lunch program.”  Normal, boring, ordinary magnet school parent behaviors, right?

What peeks my interest is that I found that most of these turbo mommies can be likened to certain animals.  Not in the Native American way of having an “animal totem,” which they embody spiritually, but these beings actually resemble animals as if their parents were extraordinary pets of humans that were invited to sit at the dinner table.  They received scholarships and went on to meet and marry other similarly bred animals and produced high-functioning, grant-worthy human-like animal children who eventually found themselves married to, yes, other animals, working for Cisco, living in million dollar tract housing and driving their children across town to their lottery assigned placement at the magnet school.  This is where I come in.

I was taken aback lately by an upright, Caucasian toad who stands daily in front of my child’s classroom, waiting to pick up her little land and water creature, I mean child.  The toad (I assume that she is actually a toad living a double-life as a well-to-do woman) and I cross paths often as we have children together in two grade levels and they attend the same snooty violin school  (Disclaimer:  My husband and I are theater arts bohemians.  Music is more important to us than algebra.  Not sure what the toad’s motivation is other than that the violin school goes nicely with her brand new Chrysler 300.  But honestly, I have no good reason to assume that she lacks the passion for music that we have.)  After all these interactions, one might expect that we could be, possibly, best friends, good acquaintances, or at least motivated hello-wavers.  Unfortunately, the toad has communicated her unwillingness to communicate with “my kind” (Does she hate me because I’m human?), by averting her eyes from my sweat suit clad slovenliness and, when unable to do so, she croaks a cold, guttural “huheye.”  What’s even more interesting is that her sister in coldness is a Channel bespectacled Gecko:  a lankily lean, wiry, curve-backed critter, with an over-dyed ebony bob that highlights the unsightly pallor of her face (a convincing human disguise, indeed).  They stand and stare at the other less established parents who have yet to cup their blood sucking three-tiered jaws into the host that is the public school system.  A good 40% of their conversation is concealed in whispers, so unless they are planning a heist of Best Buy or Costco, they are likely to be talking badly about them.  But perhaps I’m too cynical.

Please don’t get me wrong.  There are wonderfully lovely creatures of the PTA, too.  The smiling salamander is an absolute sweetheart.  At first, her manic grin in the teacher’s direction at Back-to-School Night frightened me.  I thought her to be a sycophantic, Botox-frozen human being.  But I was wrong.  Her wiry thin build was not a result of too much time in Pole Dancing Class at the Bayside Club.  The shiny, over-tight, wet look to her skin was not the result of over-toning or body butter.  It is clearly the slick slime of her actual salamander skin.  She is a nice creature.  Not predatory.  Plant-eating (I’m certain I can verify this).  And she’s only annoying when she shows up in your pool.  If that’s not a salamander, I don’t know what is.  The rodent PTA president is pretty nice for a rodent PTA president.  She still smiles a cold mousey grin even after you quit her fundraiser because she kept redoing your letters citing her “10 years in the corporate world” as the reason for her superior writing capabilities and necessary interventions.  (Never mind that I was the star of my sophomore high school English class.)

Perhaps I mistake these (we’ll call them) humans for animals because of their behavior:  cut-throat, survival oriented, and scrapping their way to the top of the food chain.  Or they exhibit their beastly behaviors BECAUSE they are animals.  PTA volunteer Veronica Tomsen (please note that it took every ounce of restraint I have to use an alias for her) resembles a bear cub.  Despite her ferocity, she is actually kind of cute.  When she works with you on a project, she growls and swipes her little bitty claws at you.  You don’t feel the danger of the moment, but you fear what damage she could do with a few years and several more peanut butter and jelly sandwiches under her belt.  And, above all, she’s probably pissed that she’s the mama bear in her household, but remains a bear cub in the world at large.  In any case, the primal swats of catty behavior seem more animal-like than human.  Perhaps, they are simply the more animal side of human.  Hmmn…

Moreover, I should probably not be so reactive and sensitive to these behaviors or I may start to resemble an animal that may not be so cute as a little toad, lizard or rat.  I wonder which animal my behavior connects me to?  I would love to be something friendly, easy-going, and lovable like the eucalyptus eating koala.  Or maybe even something glamorous, though slightly useless, like the flamingo.  Though with the excess bit of weight I’ve collected in the past few years and due to the fact that I often pick up my kid from the drive-through lane instead of getting out and walking, I think I might be called a sloth or (goodness, no) a cow.  Here’s the scariest part:  Do they know what animal I secretly am?

Maybe I should take on the persona of my own daughter, clearly a golden retriever, and let my friendly, fluffy exuberance encourage the friendlier sides of their instincts. How ‘bout on Monday, I run up to everyone and lick their faces?

When you consider a leopard gecko calcium supplement, keep in mind that calcium is the most important mineral and should be available at all times.

Leopard Geckos by instinct will eat it directly to get more calcium, they will lick up extra as they need it. Occasionally you still need to dust feeder insects.  Having a calcium dish is not an alternative, you need to provide both options.

The reason calcium is important is prevent nutritional disorders.  A popular method is the “shake and bake” method where the feeder insects are put into a plastic bag, some calcium powder is added in, gently shaken  until the insects are coated with the fine powder.

Too much D3 can be as bad as not enough D3. Leopards are nocturnal and do not use UVB, they only need D3 supplemented a couple times a month is all.  Just do this when dusting their feeders. Vitamin D is needed to help absorb calcium, however to much vitamin D can hinder it.  Most of their vitamin D3 will come from the crickets.

Adults and babies will use a shallow dish or a plastic lid in the cage with an added teaspoon of calcium powder.  A gecko will instinctively lick the calcium powder from these as needed. Make sure to dust feeder insects every other feeding with a vitamin supplement for young geckos.  Adults use vitamin supplement once a week.  Use D3 in the dusting process twice per month. Calcium and vitamin supplements are very essential for the health and longevity of captive reptiles.  You can find many different products on the market.

Rep Cal calcium and herptivite  a highly recommended calcium and vitamin supplement brand is best.

Another leopard gecko calcium brand choice is the Bone Aid product made by T-Rex which is a pure calcium carbonate product.

1. Calci-sand is NOT digestible like the

manufacturer would have you believe and is very expensive.  Lastly, the colored calcium sand just might turn your geckos different colors.  It is best to just avoid all calcium- based sands for the health of your gecko.

For a good sand try the tan colored play sand from places like home depot . The cost runs around $3 for 50 lbs.  These kinds of sand do a great job.

In summary make sure that you follow these leopard gecko calcium guidelines for a healthy long lived pet gecko.

Make sure that you provide your leopard gecko supplement to aid healthy growth and living.  As with people and most domesticated animals that do not get a complete variety from a natural diet, supplementation is necessary.  Doing the basic when caring for your pet gecko will ensure that it has a long, healthy and disease free life.  This is possible when done properly and on a regular basis.  Make sure that you understand clearly the complete care that it involved with owning a gecko.

For leopard gecko supplements, calcium is the most important mineral and should be available at all times.  The best way to do this is make sure that feeder insects are dusted a few time per week and that a small dish of calcium is in the environment at times. Geckos also require phosphorus/vitamin D3 and a good reptile multivitamin once per week.

For young geckos the best practice is to feed them once a day, coat the feeder insects with calcium supplement at each feeding.  This also applies to babies and breeding females.  To coat or dust the insects put them in a clear plastic bag and gently shake it until the little bugs are all dusty white.

With general  vitamin supplementation make sure to alternate the days and should be used sparingly and not on the same day as the calcium.

You can find good vitamins and supplements at your favorite online pet store or at your local pet store.

Getting and setting up your gecko is an investment and making sure that your gecko is healthy is basic to its care.  Make sure that you check with your local pet store to get advice about your specific gecko.

Leopard gecko supplements are an important part of keeping your pet healthy and happy.

Original Story

Leopard Geckos in the Wild

Leopard geckos are nocturnal lizards, natively found in the deserts of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and parts of India. They absolutely adore the heat and love rocky terrain, making their dwelling under the ground during the dry, desert daytime. Leopard geckos are quite unique because they have real eyelids – which is extremely uncommon to most gecko species – and they also lack flat, adhesive pads on their toes. Instead, leopard geckos use their claws to climb, making them unable to cling to slippery surfaces – as many other reptiles can – though it is extremely useful when digging in the dry, desert landscape.

In the wild, lizard geckos tend to live under large rocks or inside subterranean caves, emerging at night to hunt insects such as spiders and crickets – and if they’re feeling exceedingly adventuresome, some leopard geckos may even seek out tiny mammals such as baby field mice.

A well-fed gecko can actually live between 19 and 22 years, with the oldest confirmed leopard gecko living all the way to 27 years old! For this reason, they make good pets for children since your child will be able to grow up with the same animal over the course of many years. In the wild, this means that leopard geckos will breed many times during their life, making it an ethical pet choice, as it is not an endangered species.

The natural coloring of these reptiles tends to be a yellowish, creamy color with black stripes, but years of captive breeding have altered the natural coloring of leopard geckos and caused the introduction of new colors to the species, such as: tangerine, lavender, solid white, and even black spots. Though it may seem strange, leopard geckos have adapted remarkably well to captive breeding programs, and are now one of the premier choices for reptilian pets today.
