Common Leopard Gecko Health Problems

Good Morning, Reptilians! This week, we're talking about common illnesses and health issues in leopard geckos.

ALSO, I somehow managed to forget obesity on this list. Captive leopard geckos tend to become overweight when they are being fed too much, or have too little enrichment in their tanks - this can lead to organ strain and shortened lifespans. Make sure you're keeping a check on their weight, making sure that their tails aren't getting too big (they should never be bigger than their mid section). Obviously if they're about to brumate or they're gravid, they'll be a heavier than normal, but otherwise, looking up "leopard gecko weight charts" can be super helpful. ????
