Leopard Geckos

Leopard geckos commonly experience issues shedding around their eyes. The best method for removing shed from a leopard gecko’s eye is to use a damp cotton swab and gently dab the area until the shed is removed. It is important to avoid pulling or tugging on the shed, as this can cause injury to the delicate skin around the eye. If the shed is particularly stubborn, a few drops of mineral oil can be applied to the area to soften the skin. If the shedding issue persists, it may be a sign of an underlying health problem and a veterinarian should be consulted.

Black leopard geckos can cost anywhere from $50 to $500, depending on their age, gender, and coloration. The rarer and more unique their markings, the higher the price. It is important to purchase from a reputable breeder to ensure the health and genetic quality of the gecko.

Geckos are ectothermic, meaning they rely on their environment to regulate their body temperature. As a result, they struggle to survive in cold temperatures and require warm habitats to thrive.
