Keeping your leopard gecko happy and healthy

You always want to keep you friend happy and healthy. To keep it happy take it out more often than usual. Give it some exercise. Geckos love optical courses, I made one for my old leopard gecko and she went faster and faster every time she went threw it. You should have a big container that it can run around in. It's hard to let your leopard gecko out on your floor because it can run under neath the radiator or your bed. They can easily be lost. If you see it loosing a lot of fat in its tail and, or if it looks like its getting smaller, than you should bring it to a vet immediately. It could have a blockage in its stomach. Or it could have laid an egg. If you do not find the eggs in your tank than your leopard gecko probably has a blockage.
If your leopard gecko looks dark or it feels cold than that means that it either is cold or it has a common cold. Yes leopard geckos can get colds, it is very common. But check your heat pad i noticed that mine keeps falling off every once in a while.
If you think your gecko is becoming too skinny for no reason and you want it to get bigger, you can feed it wax worms. Never constantly feed your gecko wax worms, it could become over weight and become fatal. Wax worms can also get addicting to your leopard gecko. You should only feed wax worms to your gecko every once in a while. Wax worms are different from meal worms. Wax worms are much more fattier than meal worms. It's sorta like McDonald's to humans, its fattening, addicting and not very good for you and if you eat it everyday you will die.
