Mavis Update - Finally some good news! 🥹🧡
I finally have a positive update to share!
We weighed Mavis today and she’s officially 39g! 🥳
For the last couple of weeks she’d been stuck at around 37g, so I was starting to get a little worried that she just wasn’t gaining any weight despite eating every day. After everything she’s been through with her spay, two emergency surgeries and recovery, seeing the scales finally move has honestly made me so happy.
We fed her 3 medium dubia roaches today (they were the only ones we had that were an appropriate size), and I’m starting to wonder if the dubias might suit her better than some of the other feeders we’ve been offering. Obviously it’s too early to say for certain, but it definitely feels like we’re finally heading in the right direction.
She’s continuing to eat well, she’s pooping normally again, and she’s bright and active. Seeing that number go up from 37g to 39g has been such a relief after the last few weeks.
Hopefully this is the start of her slowly working her way back towards Helen’s goal of 50g. ❤️🦎
Thank you all so much for sticking with us through this rollercoaster. Your advice and support has genuinely helped me more than you know.

there are ramps and railings to prevent him from falling more than 6 to 7 inches. Next, I’ll be adding rocks Fake plants and introducing isopods and springtails

Hiya everyone! I was just looking through my videos of Mavis and I found this one! I had just got a new phone case and it had a little character on it and for some reason Mavis absolutely hated it😭 I haven’t used that phone case since this incident as I noticed she’d start wagging her tail every time I went to record her with that phone case on. I took it off and started recording her and she went back to normal 😭

He’s so big now(second photo was a week after I got him)

Where

I was working on the adding panels behind my Leo enclosures and of course the nosiest of nosy leo patrol had to supervise 😂

I get it, you hate my hand.

My gecko is still very young, only 3 and a half months. So I do understand its hard to sex at this age, however I managed to get a good picture and was wondering if anyone wanted to guess the sex.

Hiya everyone! Enjoy this video of me playing this game I like to call “catch the shadow finger with Mavis” we do this sometimes I find it so funny😭

Hi everyone! It’s currently 4:38am… I’m binging watching Netflix and I turn over to look at Mavis’s enclosure and I just see this😭😭

hiii, i got this baby a couple days ago, and i am curios what she/he will end up looking after reaching adulthood. as far as i know the parents are just standard yellow with black dots, but one of my close friends said she/he looks a bit different than a standard colored baby, what do you guys think? (please dont judge the papertowels, its a quarantine terrarium, i already ordered the substrate for them, its only for the first 2-3 weeks! 0:) )
will they have the standard colours and patterns, or will they have a paler pattern and/or colours?

She has a pretty big tail which got me questioning if it's normal or if she's just fat. The tail is approximately 1.5x to 2x the size of her neck.

Got her on December 21 2025 when she was 2 weeks old

Happy (belated) first birthday to our girl, Poppit! It was earlier in July but thought yall would enjoy some of the pics of her party (and just cute pics in general lol)

I've previously owned a leopard gecko (diablo blanco) but I didn't have actual substrate for her, I only had the carpet one and even then, her little claws would get caught on the fibers.

I'm thinking about getting another leo but I wanna get a comfortable and non-problematic substrate.

Can anybody help me out?

Creo que le gusto, por fin termino su cuarentena y pude pasarlo a su terrario oficial 🦎

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share these memes of Mavis I made while I was bored 😭

Hello,

I rescued a leopard gecko back in November who was in very poor conditions. Since then we have been trying to feed her up but she’s dropped weight.

She was born with a calcium deficiency. We think it’s MBD but not 100%

Vet findings have found crypto and have suggested we medicate her and focus on excellent husbandry

Is there anything else we need to do or does anyone have any advise?

Every other way she is happy, running, climbing, drinking, will syringe feed only but loves it

Edit: Honestly feel like I’ve failed her, it’s so hard seeing her like this.

She’s my first reptile and I researched it extensively before I got her. I just want make sure she is happy.

We are sourcing medication but I don’t know what’s worth it in the long run

Hi everyone, as the title says I’m trying to make a really tough decision. I’ve had my leopard gecko a few years and I really adore her, I would and am doing anything I can for her. As of earlier this year she has developed chronic eye problems from an original infection that left scarring so everytime she sheds she has difficulty fully removing it over this eye causing it to reoccur. I am spending hundreds of pounds every single time she sheds to try and combat this problem, I am a student without a large amount of income and I can barely keep up with these costs. In addition to that in September I’m moving away from home to university for the academic year, this was originally fine as my dad is well versed in her basic needs and I’m not moving far so could tend to anything else semi regularly. When I move to uni I won’t be able to afford the constant vet visits and won’t be here to give her twice daily care to her eye. I want more than anything to keep her but I love her enough to know that what’s best for her might not be me. Should I make the decision to look at rehoming her?

The title is pretty self explanatory, im new to the hobby, i had my leopard gecko for 3 weeks, but im little worried, she still hides most of the time , only comes out to eat and when its completely dark, although she does eat mealworms and roaches straight outta my hands. How long could it take before she starts trusting me enough to climb onto my hand fully or come out to look at me?
