Private breeder of Tarantulas, Scorpions, 4 types of Roaches and Superorms. Resides in sunny S. Ca. This blog is all about my collection of various critters. You'll find care sheets, tutorials and various information on my Reptiles & Inverts.
This is an update on my Leopard Gecko. The video shows his setup the way I’m housing him. He seems to be okay from what I can see. He has been pooping normal, but I just don’t see him eat. I weighed him a couple days ago at 13g and this morning at 13g. So, no weight loss or gain, which seems good at the moment. Hopefully he will gain some weight. I may have some waxworms, I know I have moths. I will be getting some crickets just see if that may help his appetite. Other than that, we’ll wait and see how he does.

Showing off a new addition to my ever growing collection of reptiles and inverts. I received a Eublepharis macularius (Leopard Gecko) free a few days ago from my local pet store. My sons & I frequent the lps often. My boys by rodents for their lizard & snakes, while I check for new tarantula species and scorpions.
While my youngest boy was in the lps picking up food for his snakes, the owner gave him the Eublepharis macularius as seen in the photo. She had no history on it and decided not to sell it. I thought, “how cool”. I had been thinking about getting a Eublepharis macularius to add to my collection.
After doing some research online and setting up it’s enclosure, I think their a really cool and interesting species of lizard. Oh, and if you have never seen one of these shed it’s skin, you must see. Do a search on YouTube. They literally pull and eat their skin off their body.
I have plenty of food for it, sense I raise and breed my own mealworms and I have plenty of feeder roaches of many sizes to substitute for crickets. It’s currently in a 5 gal. size enclosure with newspaper as substrate along with a food and water dish. It sleeps inside a toilet paper rolll for now till I find something more appropriate.
If anyone has any tips for me caring for this fine specimen, please comment below. All comments are welcome. Thanks for reading, Greg Hagedorn.
