    I got one from my neighbor girl. She is going to college n couldn't take care of it. 40 gal set up for $200 supplemented by my iguana gear. I based all my care on your videos and he is so much healthier and happier. Thank you. Edit: I won the iguana at a carnival. I would never buy one. I kept him on my porch because I didn't have the room and he escaped.😢

      why tf did you compete for it then?? i hope you live in florida, because if you dont, that iguana is dead. its a HORRIBLE idea to let a tropical animal into a different part of the world. if you didnt have the right requirements for the iguana then your stupid asf to even compete in a game for it. if you didnt have any thing to put it in you shouldve gave it back to the carnival. UNLESS you do in fact live in a tropical area like florida. in that case itll be fine.

    I don't know about Leps, but AFTs can do a little bark as adults.
    I think they just get calmer and more confident as adults and they only vocalize when they're really afraid.
    My AFT got out of his cage and when I found him in the corner and went to pick him up he gave a yelp and bite. He never freaked out being picked up in his cage and I think they just get less fearful as they get older ❤

    Excuse my typos but this is important:
    My very 1st leopard gecko was given such bad care before I got her poor girl she wasn't given a humid hide because the guy told me "well I didn't think she needed one because I gave one to her before but she sister lay any eggs so I don't think she needs one" like what no it'd not just for eggs is also for helping them shed and they like it, poor girl after I got her she was almost always in there and shedding pretty often so that wasn't right she was also on only mealworms so when she got to us she decided no more of those I like Crickets now but she passed away after she got stuck eye caps then we took her to a vet they removed them they also showed me how she did loose some toe tips but they also made her go blind and then she never ate again,(needless to say I don't trust that vet anymore) but I tried feeding her but she just kept sealing her nouth shut and wiggles way too much and whatever i got in her mouth she didn't always swallow so she just woukd not eat and she stsrved herself only at 3-4 years old, this is why a humid hide is so so important, now I have a different girl I named her Cricket since she's not always a fan of being held and small crickets are her favorite food and she's doing fine no Shedding issues at all since he has a humid hide

    Late to the vid! But they can vocalize to adulthood! My little lady is very sassy and turning 3 soon, so fullly grown. But whenever i dont let her go somewhere she's trying to or if i try to check her tummy to see if any stuck shed she will make the little clicking/hissing noise at me and stare at me. Its best when shes telling me off for moving her away from something or stop feeding her when she wants more food

    My Kovu, 3 yr male, is still very vocal; kinda sounds like barking and he is very barky towards our exotic vet. I also had a lot of issues with 1 toe in particular with stuck shed, our exotic vet recommend UVB lamp and haven’t had an issue since. I do use the snake
    soak for help prevent stuck shed too.

    Leoaprd geckos do not lose the vocalization. My adults will vocalize randomly. Mine will also sometimes vocalize at feeding time if I'm running a bit late on giving it. They also make clicking noises in there throat if something isnt going their way (ex: turning sharply on your hand but your thumb is blocking and you have no way of moving it out of the way). Also, if your gecko isn't tamed (not used to handling), they will screech, I went through this with my newest leo which I shared on my channel (no promotion intended). They can vocalize for many reasons, but those are the main I've heard with my own.

    Hi there. I don’t have social media beside CZcams to ask you a question. Sooo I inherited a leopard gecko. He is 2 maybe. Never had a reptile. First, do they give diseases? Also, he doesn’t like being held which is annoying. Also, what should I spot clean his house with(non toxic)? Is just a heating pad running 24/7 under a hide good enough? It’s just slid right und the hide. Also, you say they are soft yet this gecko is hard and lumpy. Sorry there isn’t much info online or it’s incorrect
