    You're actually seeing him, we're not- so I'd say "trust your gut" on this. He has a separate "warm" hide that he's not using? Either find something else that's better suited, or another way to make his warm hide more cozy- ie. put something inside it to make it smaller & see if that helps him want to use it. (I've never used ANY hides that have a bottom- a "floor"- in them- all mine are open bottom because I use UTH.)

    Re: Leopard gecko breeding questions

    How do you use an open bottom humid hide???

    Anyway, the humid hide is a Zilla rock lair, and it's small and dark so it would be hard for me to beat that. I think I'll just leave it for now and if I notice he has issues with it, I'll change it. I measured the temp and it's only like 83* inside the rock lair, when I want 90* in the warm hide where he spends most of his time.

    Re: Leopard gecko breeding questions

    The little guy’s tail looks a little strange and has since birth… just the patterning. Is there a specific term for this? Is it unusual?

    Just the aberrant banding? Don't know about Leos (-if it means anything?), but markings in snakes typically vary.

    Do you know the genetics of yours- are they all "normal" type? Because here's one with odd tail markings: https://www.morphmarket.com/us/c/rep...-geckos/779256

    So maybe there is something going on??? But I'm just throwing that out there- not saying there is. I guess you'll "have to" keep breeding these guys to find out?

    (Gosh, I'm a "bad influence", hahaha!)

    Re: Leopard gecko breeding questions

    I don’t know the genetics of the female although I know that the male is normal. Usually leopard geckos have four or five bands on the tail and they fade as the gecko matures. Some geckos have different banding/striping, but they are different morphs. But usually they are more pronounced than this. So I don’t know if it’s a specific genetic trait or if it’s just something this individual happened to have and it doesn’t mean he’s any specific morph.

    It's most likely (IMO) just a random "nothing" but not sure anyone can say for sure. See what others w/ more Leo experience have to say though?

    The other day the next two eggs hatched. I'll get some pictures later. The one has a really interesting pattern.
