It’s been 105 days since I last posted about Shait! So here’s some updates on her. Been hanging out in the leachie discord

Shes having some issues with her eyes, she’s currently seeing a vet. We’re doing medicine to see if that works. (Had to see 2 different vets)

She just moved into a spare 18x18x24 bioactive tank. Minimal decor so she’s easy to monitor (she’s also blind and can’t see anything anyway)

Vet has confirmed. She is 100% blind and has great body condition for a blind gecko.

She is hand fed pretty often. But can find food on her own. She is incredibly chill and only mildly protests handling. She’s handled every other day. As she doesn’t know when it’s day or night so just sleeps all day. She loves exploring when I handle her. (Was thinking of making a nice safe setup for her to explore with monitoring)

I think that’s all! I tend to post updates daily in the reddits discord. But if you have any questions about her feel free to ask! I love talking about my babies and she’s just made my heart so full.

I’ve also gotten 2 Leachies since! A baby GTX for my partner. And a baby Friedal mt kohgis! Both are doing amazing and even eating pinkies!

Some obligatory shait pics.

She will be 4 years old in July! Weighing in at 252g.

I'm building a terrarium to upgrade him from his starter shoe box. Every time I take him out to replace his substrate he usually waddles up my arm a bunch, but first time I showed him the terrarium he stopped dead in his tracks to look at it. I'm still waiting about a month for the plants to settle and for it to cycle, but I can tell he's excited for it. He even jumped on the glass trying to get in.

I'm hoping that showing him it while I wait for the roots to grow will also reduce the chance of any food strikes once he finally moves in

After a whole week, I have finished the drawing of my Leachie!!! Please ignore the half-a**ed cork bark my hands couldn't be bothered today.

My little guy, Mel, is 10 months old. He’s is 139 grams. He’s a GTX mix. He’s eating great and socializes very well but doesn’t seem to want to climb. I’m getting upgrades for his set up to have larger branches but I’m wondering if he looks fat? Should I reduce how frequently I feed him so he has an easier time climbing? SOS lol

Working on this leachie drawing since I can't have a live one right now 😅

Finally warm enough to get good outside pics!

How long did it take for your leachie to begin eating after shipping? I’m on day 4, and I don’t think she’s eaten, although I can’t be 100% sure she didn’t eat at night. I’ve read it can be up to a week, but I could use some reassurance. She's licked droplets of water, so I know she's hydrating.

Thank you for any help, this is my first leachie and she wasn’t cheap so I’m extra anxious about this baby.

This is my first gecko ever! Such an unreal animal, can’t stop staring at him.

Tonight I finally picked up my male Mount Khogi Leachie “Ludwig” (around 1.5 years old) for the first time.
He definitely wasn’t thrilled when I first lifted him 😅

But interestingly:
no aggression
no biting
no puffing/huffing
no panic jumping
It was more like:
“uhh… what exactly are you doing with me?”

Once he was actually on my hand he became surprisingly calm and just sat there while I took a few quick photos.
I also weighed him for the first time and apparently he’s around 130 g now, which honestly surprised me quite a bit.
After a couple minutes I put him straight back into the enclosure, gave him fresh food/water and left him alone for the night.

Honestly really happy with how it went 😌

Just got this little one in a few days ago only about 6 months old. Currently they are unsexed. About what size do they generally need to be to be able to sex them?

I named her daisy :3

Torvi pics from today. She’s getting ready to shed but she was showing off her in-between colors/markings all day so I grabbed a few pics. I like her in-between phase the most. I just like the different browns and greens she gets. The greens don’t show as well in pics unfortunately but you can kind of make them out. I took her outside for about 3 minutes to snap the pics. Made it a positive trip by giving her a couple meal worms. Bribery is our love language. When she’s fired down all the way she’s mainly white with the black markings and when she’s fired up her whole body turns the same dark brown as the blotch behind her eye in the pic of her on the fox skull. Her blotches when fired up stay about the same color as in that same pic but when she’s all dark it makes them really stand out. I weighed her as well today and she was 158g (she had pooped during the night so it’s pretty accurate). She hasn’t had much major length changes the past month or at least not visible changes. I checked her early April and she was between 10”-10.25”. In a couple days she will be a year and 3 months old.

I could not stop thinking about Doug’s leachies at Tinley. 6 years later, and a move across the country, I was finally in a place to take care of one of these amazing creatures.

After an intense bidding war on MorphMarket, Kiwi the female pure Yaté is mine! 🥝

I am going to buy a leachie plush I can squeeze because the cuteness aggression is strong!
