Leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius) are enormously popular pet lizards. Decades of breeding leopard geckos under human care have produced geckos with extensive color and pattern variations, adding further to their popularity. These lizards are a first reptile pet for many, and their engaging characters attract the interest of many people who otherwise might not be interested in keeping reptiles.

Leopard geckos originally come from arid, rocky grassland regions of Afghanistan, Pakistan, northwest India, western Nepal, and parts of Iran. These lizards are primarily insectivores, but they have been known to occasionally accept very small vertebrate prey under human care. Leopard geckos store fat in their tails, which can function as energy reserves in times of low food availability in their hot and dry native habitat.

Cove looking as unimpressed as ever 🙈🖤
I’m sure you’ve noticed the hiatus, and so here’s a little update to say that we’re still here, it’s just that sometimes life gets a little crazy. Cove, Bali, Toast, Snow, and Fable are still looking for their forever homes and have gotten so big and healthy over the last few months. More I updates will be coming soon!

Do you have experience building terrarium racks for 12+ animals & could offer some advice on setup? Help! 🦎

Update: Snow is looking SO much better 🤍 Fable is also doing very well but is a sleepy butt and is refusing the press at this time.

They are both eating well, exploring, climbing, and great with handling. We’re excited to see what the future holds for these beautiful boys!

We got in two male leopard geckos on 5/19. We were up until like 2 am dealing with wounds and stuck shed, and moving tanks around in the office to be able to accommodate these two. They were both in maybe 2 gallon enclosures at 100*. Both are super dehydrated and have burns, stuck shed, and open wounds. Not to mention, underweight. We have been needing to still do soaks to remove layers of stuck shed. The little guy with an overbite isn’t able to grab insects because of his overbite, so he is hand fed only. We’ve named them Snow and Fable, and just from the 19th, they already look SO much better. Say hi, guys!

Cove is taking notes from the cat, “if it sits, it fits”.

Inquire about adopting Cove through Messenger, text, or phone 💛🖤

Why turn on the heat when you could just make your office double as a reptile room? 🥵🫠
