Here is Web before I cleaned up his tank, got rid of the horrid sand and gave him lots of hides and got some heat going for his belly. He's already doing better on day two.
Thanks! Once he calms down a bit I'm sure he'll be super happy. I found him online and drove five and a half hours in order to pick him up and bring him home. :D
Aww he does look much happier now! You can tell by the way his face looks! Totally epic job @AquaBlueishTime. wow that that's a pretty good drive, did you particularly want a leopard gecko?
Agredd on the box! my art never comes out that good lol!
Wow I haven't seen a leopard gecko or otherwise! (I don't count Geico lol) Do geckos eat crickets like lizards? and if they do how often do you have to go to the store and get more?

Thanks! I actually have three other leopard geckos as well, I got one for my birthday six years ago and I've just fallen in love with them.
Aww thanks!

Yep! Some people feed mostly crickets but I personally prefer dubia roaches but they can eat a couple different kinds of bugs. I order my roaches so they come to me, I also breed the adults and raise the babies for food. I usually have to order 400 every other month to feed three, it might be more frequent with four geckos though. Unfortunately the cricket in the pictures is way too big for Web, their food isn't suppose to be any longer than the width between their eyes.
way coool!!! will he let you hold him? or is that bad for them?
This one is still very stressed from the change in environment and lack of handling at a young age. My original three all tolerate handling differently, Devyn doesn't mind, Cali is blind so she gets nervous, and Vian is rather shy. So I tend to hold Devyn the most and for now I will just leave Web be as much as possible until he's more comfortable in his surroundings.
@AquaBlueishTime that is soo neat!! 400 is a lot! It's good to try and breed them it saves on cost! How many do they eat in a day? and do the geckos have to be kept separate, because they fight or anything?

Sorry, do you mind a lot of questions!? :)
It depends on the gecko and their age, Cali doesn't eat right now because it's breeding season and the females tend not to eat around this time, Vian eats a couple every other night, and Devyn eats about ten every other night (he's a pig). I don't know about Web yet because I'm letting his system get clear of sand and undigested crickets before feeding him.
It's not recommended to house them together because while they usually seem to get along, they tend to boss each other around and fight over food and it can get very ugly very fast. So it's best to keep them separate.
That's alright! I love educating about my geckos, I could talk about them all day. :D
I just learned a ton about geckos in 10 minutes! wicked..... >:D Thanks for all the info @AquaBlueishTime you're really knowledgeable about these critters! (just saying :) )

Thanks @AquaBlueishTime that sounds like an awesome birthday gift! :Do do they live a long time?
It was! I believe they usually live to be around twenty or so.
Here are some pictures of my other three geckos. Vian: Cali (yes her eyes are abnormally small, it's a genetic defect and she is about 98% blind, she can see some shadows)
Devyn, his face after I just laughed at him when a bug got stuck to his chin. xD He was mad.
Wow it's amazing that you know so much about them! Where do you keep the bugs between feeding?! And GREAT pictures of all the others, they look so happy! :D
ROFL oh that last picture is priceless! you can't get those everyday! it's so cute that cali is pink, poor thing, does she mind not seeing well very much?
wow that are all so different! from their markings to the look of their eyes! it looks like Devyn has a big personality! Thank you for sharing and telling me so many things!

I keep my bugs in three separate Rubbermaid tubs. The adults in one, juveniles in another, and the newborns in a third. Thanks!

Everything Devyn does is hilarious, he's a hoot. She doesn't seem to mind, I mean she's been blind from birth/hatching so she doesn't know anything different. She just doesn't like when I rearrange her tank, she gets nervous and confused because she doesn't know where anything is.

Leos come in a ton of different patters, called morphs. I don't exactly know what kind mine are because they're pet store geckos and I don't know their genetics. All I know is that Devyn is albino and the others are not. xD Devyn is amazing, he's my court jester/village idiot. Never a dull moment with him around.

For those of you who don't like bugs, I'm going to put this as a spoiler. Click it at your own risk, this is an adult dubia roach.
