Re: Got My Adopted Leo Today!
she doesn't look as bad as i expected. definitely good to hear she is in a nice clean cage now though.
i'm not familiar with the vita life powder but if it is something like herptivite or reptivite it should be okay. just dust the crickets and you don't have to dust the mealworms. you can leave mealworms in a dish and replace as she eats them. after a few days take out any mealworms that remain and put them back in the container you keep them in and add new ones. this ensures that you are always offering gut loaded worms.
15-18 years or so is an average leo lifespan. the oldest male leo lived to be 29, the oldest female almost 22 years old.
i'm not great with leo morphs but i'd guess maybe she is a high yellow. she also has a little bit of carroting on her tail which is nice.

Re: Got My Adopted Leo Today!
Thanks Emily What is carroting? LOL
As for a clean tank....It and everything in it was soaked and scrubbed with a bleach solution....It looked clean but after going back into to the bathroom to check on her I realized that it still "reaked" Think I am just going to go buy a new tank and everything to go in it!

Re: Got My Adopted Leo Today!
carroting is the orange on her tail.
it is hard to get the smell out of anything wood or porous. if its a glass tank you should be able to get it smelling okay but i'm with you on ditching everything else and replacing it.

Re: Got My Adopted Leo Today!
went to a leopard gecko breeder site today to look at picks....see that she has a carrot tail but the high yellows that they had did not have spots all over them???
Oh forgot I wanted to ask a question LOL....Because she is 8-10 years old and has always been housed by herself.....should I not get her a buddy to live with her? I am concerned that it would totally stress her out having "another" in the tank..

Re: Got My Adopted Leo Today!
i say high yellow because she doesn't have as many spots as a normal and looks a little brighter in the pics too. i looked in the leopard gecko manual (the one by phillipe de vosjoli) and there was a pic of a high yellow that looked similar to her. of course there is a lot of variation in high yellows, probably all the way up to ones that don't have many spots at all. i could be wrong though--like i said--i'm not that great with the leo morphs.
if you do decide to get her a cagemate make sure to get one that is the same size as she is and female. i don't know that she would necessarily benefit from a cagemate--leos don't require companionship so that is mostly up to you. i can't really say how she would react--i don't know if they become solitary once they live alone for a long time.

Thanks Emily...she is going to be living by her lonesome since they do not require companionship
