I thought I'd document my first week owning a tiny baby pink tongue skink, the ups, the downs, how I managed to get him to eat as well as how he managed to escape!

He looks comfortable and not stressed which is great to see. (As someone who has a leopard gecko, 2 grams sound so tiny) 😀

@falerdog 11 месяцев назад

In 9:47 he seem already over the famed life as a YTer pet.

haha yeah it's crazy, I was hoping he'd gained a gram or something since he's been with me, but not yet. I know they're slow growers but damn lol

This is great! It’s really helpful to see how you work with a new kind of animal. And yes he is adorable that death roll melted my heart.

I put my hatchling BP into a five by two by three enclosure after a week in a small tank and I do not regret it all. He is confident curious and incredibly sweet. He does spend a lot of time in his favorite hide but when he does come out he uses every inch of it and has since the day I got him. It's a common idea in the ball python world that they will be afraid if you put them in too big an enclosure as a baby but that is totally not true.

@leopardgeckotalk 11 месяцев назад

Aww that's brilliant to hear, so many people them in such tiny enclosures.

@kiscrazyreptiles 11 месяцев назад

I definitely know that feeling of wanting to hold a reptile right when you get one, but I quickly learned not to after on the first day of holding my first gecko he made a run for my back. I was so worried he'd get lost, luckily a family member was there to grab him and we laughed at the situation. Luckily my second gecko was 3-4 months old when I got her and re-homed to me. Idk why but she LOVES being held, and she is super food motivated. Unfortunately she's gon through 4 different homes and not the best of care before I got her but I'm so happy to call her my bumpy reptile family member.💖

@leopardgeckotalk 11 месяцев назад

He is fascinating and I love his zebra-like pattern - it'll be interesting to see that develops. You've given Rex an amazing enclosure with so many places to explore, hide, sleep, and with a very significant thermal gradient he can use to get comfortable. I'm already looking forward to the next update!

@catgoboom 11 месяцев назад

You want to feed them meals about the size of their head (finely diced or mashed), and ime they will eat high quality cat food even if they refuse everything else. Mine wouldn't touch bugs, but she liked squash puree, egg & mashed fruit as a baby (she only wants protein now & I have to sneak her veggies). They *can* get overwhelmed in large enclosures (or fall and hurt themselves, babies are a bit clumsy & they don't take falls as well as arboreal geckos) so you might wanna consider partitioning it if he keeps refusing food

I have a leopard gecko that I uniquely named "Gecko". I have him in a 92cm L x 46cm W x 30cm H PVC enclosure that I have decorated to look fairly close to a leopard gecko's natural environment. I gave him an appropriate heat lamp and UVB bulb that I can definitely changed his behavior slightly. I feed Gecko dubi roaches and mealworms and occasionally a superworm (he really likes to eat dubi roaches). Also, for some reason, he seems to really like to be taken out of his enclosure, because he'll make that little chirping noise that you talked about in one of your videos. Oh, and a cute thing he did a couple days ago is that he was sitting on my chest and kinda lean forward a bit a licked my cheek a bit (I know that this isn't an affection thing, but it was adorable nonetheless).

Hello I'm looking into getting a leporid gecko. I saw in a video posted by you a while back and you suggested UV Earth Pro A, calcium pro mg, and revitalize D3 and I just wanted to know how you are supposed to use them properly? I just want to make sure I'm caring properly!

What Type of tank do you use for your leopard geckos please respond to me my leperd gecko it’s about a year and a half

@Adam-TheLiftedKing 11 месяцев назад

Curious how big he’ll get I’d imagine the potato nature doesn’t come about for several months in. Was he just born or is he a juvenile?

@leopardgeckotalk 11 месяцев назад

So he's meant to be about 3 months at this point but he's so small. From what I've read some of them can be and they are slow growers, so it can take up to 2-3 years to reach full maturity. They're slimmer than BTS, but they get to about 15-18" and like 115+ grams. Males are generally a bit bigger.

@BrandHogBoi 11 месяцев назад

Hi, im hopefully soon getting a leopard gecko and i jist wanted to ask a few questions. I have watched multiple of your videos and just need an answer to a little question. In one of your videos you had shown us the basics of a leopard geckos viv. And the heat mat was on the wood, do you need to put anything under it because it says on multiple websites it heats both sides and can start a fire in a wooden viv. Just wanted to ask because nobody likes a fire.

@leopardgeckotalk 11 месяцев назад

No I didn't with that one, but I think there's some issue with the stick on ones (if they still make them). The temp is only 30-32oC so should set wood on fire anyway :') but just double check with whichever heat mat you're using :)

I just realized you have a full bioactive for him right away. I'm surprised you don't have something very small and sterile to monitor the first few weeks. Is there a reason for giving him this set up right away? Just curious.

No, go for it! haha. Lyra lives in a 24 x 18 x 24" and uses all of it, I'm sure a little extra room would be great.
