New Leopard Geckos!

[Toxoderidae]

For the first time in 8 or so years, I got some leopard geckos! meet Lenin and Trotsky, my soviet lizards.

Aww. Cute.

Congrats. They're gorgeous. I just got my first Leo about a week ago. He's just the standard colour morph, so not as pretty as yours (still love him though).

Their names made me giggle.

They look absolutely adorable! Unlike most lovers of leopard geckos, I'm a sucker for their original coloring, instead of being keen about most of the morphs. However! These two look beautiful. <3 I'd love to have a leopard gecko...one day! ;;

They are pretty cheap and easy to care for (for a reptile anyway). I would still recommend a lot thought and research before you buy one.

Oh yes! : )

I can't own one right now because my cat, Smokey, hates for me to pay attention to anyone or anything, even some moss balls I have! Yesterday I found her trying to eat them... ;__;

Still, I'd love to own one, along with a bearded dragon one day! Right now I'm just happy people upload pictures about them, haha. Such cute little guys.

They are awesome. My kids have one each. Anytime they feel the dresser vibrate they immediately look up at the screen for their next meal.

Here is some picture of my Leo. His name is Guyco. I've had him for all most three years.

Tox is that Repti-Carpet? If so, while not an absolute, I'd remove it and put down something else (not sand), when I owned Lep Gexs and had them on Repti Carpet, sometimes their mouths would get stuck on the synthetic fibers of the carpet. Not to mention I didn't want them ingesting that stuff at all.

The cool thing about these gex is they are more neat than Ts, they will poop only in spot until it gets too dirty for them, then pick another. The most clean reptile I have ever owned. Wish my snakes did that!

Will do! My leopards chose the spot farthest from their hide, so it's sadly on their plant. Had no idea Repti-Carpet was bad, always used it for box turtles that wandered into our yard (some kids in our neighborhood ages ago would shoot box turtles, every now and then we'd find one that survived) What sub do you recommend for leopards?

I didn't go for a natural look at the time, this is many years ago. I went for these pre-cut cardboard cutouts. Also over time the Repticarpet gets stained and smells.

This is not exactly what I had, but same material, except precut for fish tanks, and my cutouts I bought had a different texture. It worked great, granted not pretty, but I never thought carpet was pretty either haha

There are rubber mats out there made by the pet companies, but I've never used them, and have no idea what they are like etc.

One thing I've seen is paper towel. I sometimes use those mats for my python, luckily not expensive. I'll pick some more up!
