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.

i feed my hatchlings and juvis everyday or every other day... my adults and sub adults i feed about 2-3 times a week.
i feed manily meal worms and super worms. my adults and sub adults eat approx. 5-8 supers per feeding (depending on the gecko)... my hatchlings and juvies well i just feed them what they will eat..... for instance i start my hatchlings off on 2-3 mealies per feeding and see how they do, my month and a half babies eat around 8-12 mealies per feeding. so basically it depends on what and how much and how often you feed your animal.

Wait, wait!! There's no such thing as feeding a leopard gecko too much! If you're leo is still growing, that's especailly true. I've had some that were going along great and then all of a sudden started losing weight. They need to overeat and build fat storage for the times they go off feed; winter, breeding, stress, mood swings (lol), etc. So please, unless your gecko is so chubby that she's like Garfield and can't get around, let her keep eating as she is.

Fat?
Also, if your gecko seems suddenly fat, and it's a female, it IS the leopard gecko breeding season...she may not be fat at all, but may instead be preparing to present you with some eggs--in which case, you want her to eat as much as possible, and provide plenty of calcium. Judge how fat a leopard gecko is by their tail, not by their waistline.
