I realize that although he passed away, Ted was well cared for. I didn't intend to cause him pain, and it was an accident. It would be horribly selfish to say that I will never own another reptile again. Here's to a brighter future, buddy- I promise to take care of your Brother/Sister.

I hurt him by accident and he died in my hands.
I...
I'm so sorry. I don't think I deserve to be on the forums anymore. Not after what happened. Ted would never forgive me.
I made a horrible mistake by trying to help Ted shed. It was a bit on his tail and he was having trouble. I went to pull and I'm pretty sure I peeled a bit of the new skin too.
They go through shedding about once every one to two weeks (juveniles are growing boys...).
The following morning I...
Healthy boys just finished their second shed in my care. They have nipped a bit but it is in regards to me getting unshed skin off of them (they miss their mouths a lot) or just because they feel insecure.
They've been eating enough, though they tend to do so while I'm not looking. As a...
I come home and my sister tells me she found a really long striped worm in the tank but when she came back it had buried itself because she couldn't find it. I'm really nervous. Do you know of any things that this could be? I don't have any pictures because I can't find the thing either.
She...
Funny enough, I'm not but my fiancée is. He's a ceramic engineer and he has a personal hobby of collecting rocks and gems. Sometimes he gives me ones that are no longer viable specimens, and luckily enough most of them are Quartz, so they are perfectly safe to keep. I have geodes, Rose Quartz...
Alright so I've read up that leopard gecko males can be insanely territorial as adults. This, of course concerns me since I took in two juveniles from another owner. She wasn't able to tell what sex they were.
Although they are juvies, it isn't impossible to find the traits of sexual...
Interesting idea that might be interesting to implement- a journal forum where each member can post updates on their geckos, life, etc.
Just might be an interesting way for people to keep track of their progress

1. Is it normal for geckos to just not want to eat when there are people around? They don't seem lethargic at all and their bodies and tails are fine (although one is slightly smaller and skinner than the other which is definitely a worry despite them being juvies).
2. I have them on a mic of...
Just wanted to drop in a quick hello!
My name is Matt. I'm a transgender male student at the University of Iowa and I recently became a reptile lover. It took me two baby leopard geckos to win my heart. Their names are Bill and Ted.
I am looking forward to more excellent adventures on this forum.
