Flokie
I aquired a beautiful 1 year old from a family who could no longer care for him. He was very well taken care of and loved before coming to me. His front left arm is a nub that did not develop and his tail is "bobbed". If anyone has any suggestions at all for enclosure set up / what works best for their special kiddos! I have had beardies before and i just want him to be happy and comfortable in his new forever home!

Hi there, can you post some pics of Flokie ? They usually get around on 3 legs with no problem at all, maybe don't have him climb TOO high or perch him on your shoulder while you're walking , which so many owners do and then have accidents even with their 4 legged beardies because they jump.
BTW, his leg + tail were probably bitten off when he was a baby, it;s very common.

Please go over the husbandry of the tank --- you need digital probe thermometers for accurate surface basking temps and a good long tube UVB fixture -- NO coils please -- there are 3 good UVB's that are recommended - if you need help or links please ask

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. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
