I upped the amount of crickets Landen gets as recommended by others on here as many as he'll eat in 15 minutes 3 times a day. Greens are available at all times which he doesn't really touch since the increase of crickets. He's getting bathed once a day every day now because that's where he likes to do his business. Temps are right on now and new UVB. I notice when he eats about half way through he'll stop and one of his front legs will spasm for a second then he takes off after another cricket. It's only ever one leg but not always the same side always the front though. The first time he did this was after running through his water dish. I thought it was because I just put the water in and it was a bit cool apparently not. Anyone know why he'd be doing this?

No it's not like a wave i've seen him do that many times since i've had him. It's hard to explain but he stops for a split second and shakes his arm almost just one then he takes off after the next cricket he sees. He only does this once in the 15 minutes i'm feeding him. I'm not sure you could tell in a picture but he'll be eating soon so i'll try to get a small video maybe.

I think i've figured this out. I tried feeding him slowly a cricket or two at a time like others suggested with worms. I think he was getting too excited over the food that he was trying to get it in his belly as fast as possible and in turn maybe not taking the time to chew it right. yay :D

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
