Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Can Leopard gecko's eat each other?
Is it possible for a larger gecko a possible male to eat a much smaller male if left alone in the same tank???
I had gone to pet sit a friends gecko and found no trace of the smallest one.
Just wondering what could have happened. There was no way of escape either.
Thanks
Pam

Yes. They don't distinguish friend from foe. If they are small enough to fit into the other one's mouth, then it's food.

well that is just sad!
I have an empty tank and my friend just told me to take the little fellow home because he was being picked on...
He was gone without a trace, seems like there would have been body parts or something.

They will eat them just like they would a cricket, worm, or pinkie. The whole thing. I'm sorry this happened...

Just a note putting leopard gecko males together is a hazard and I have been told they will fight to the death. I am not sure about adult vs. baby but sadly that may have been what happened and the larger male decided to make a meal of him. I am sorry that is very sad.

Unfortunately my friend learned to hard way, I had wanted to take the gecko weeks before, I did know 2 males would fight, when I finally got the go ahead to take him, it seems it was to late. My gecko's are both females and have been living together for 9 years. I just got a new juvi male and he gets his own tank. One day, I would like to get him a few females and possibly try a small breeding project, but this is still in the research stage. Thanks everyone for your replys, It's so sad, I just couldn't believe it.

I've seen pictures of a baby being fed to an adult. Cannibilization can and will occur, unfortunately

Males will fight to the death. Adults will eat babies. You will have to trust me that this is a fact.
