Hello! I got my first ever leo 9 days ago, and after being bombarded that my house for her sucks, i decided to do a huge overhaul. This i guess will be my own asking spots in case i run into any problems. Thanks :D

First few questions:
Does anybody know where an exotic vet is in south korea?
And also, here is a list for stuff i have/planning to buy for the overhaul.
A 90 x 45 x 30 cm terrarium
Turtle uvb lamp
Vitamin/calcium powder with d3
Also, how many crickets should i feed her? She is few months old.
Also whay morph is she? I didnt wrote it down so i fogor
Wait one more thing: is scindapsus safe for reptiles?
For reference, she is about 7 to 8 months old
also what would be the best food to gutload crickets?
!guide
!gutload
Here are some resources to get you started while waiting for more eyes here!
there isn't really a set rule to how much she should eat, but if she is a slow eater you can feed as many as she will eat in 10-15 minutes, two to three times a week. if she just gobbles down bugs super fast, maybe feed what she will eat in 5-8 minutes
also if it is possible - try to get a linear UVB fixture and bulb instead of a traditional round lamp
Can i ask what that is?
so it's a uvb fixture where the bulb is basically in a long straight line
instead of a rounded bulb
it gives a more stable output that is dispersed over more of the tank, rather than the UVB having a spotlight-like effect
I see, i will see if i can find one
zoomed makes one as well as arcadia, not sure if they are availible in your country though
you want roughly a 5-7% bulb
5%?
it's the strength
I really cant find any, majority of items like 90cm exoterra canopy top lights and stuff isnt even imported
Guess a round bulb would still do?
Another question, is only crickets and mealworn based diet okay?
Other kinds of staple feeders are extremely hard to find here
There are superworms buuuut
nqa we do recommend a rotation of at least 3. they can live on 2, but its not as ideal. mealworms and crickets as 2 feeders are fine. for a third, silkworms, bsfl, roaches, or locusts are good
if your leo will eat mealworms in their adult stages (beetles) and if you cannot find anything else, that would also be a good option for a third

huh okay
Im from in korea too. I think i know where is exotic vet.
Its hard to find uvb and dubia
U can get uvb from amazon. (Mine uvb from amazon)
I use https://m.seoulreptile.co.kr/goods/goods_list.php?cateCd=002 as well. It have good things but dont choose colored uvb.
Seoul vet (big animals, small animals and exotic) its best vet for exotic i think
Name of vet: 최영민 동물의료센터
Oh cool! Seoul reptiles also where i get my crickets from!
Yes, where did your got your gecko?
I dont like Seoul reptiles’s crickets because they live short and about 50% die. I got better crickets from 정브르.
I got her from the zoo
Wow the zoo?! Its very cool
Nice. For me im foreigner with F-4 visa
I asked because your english is good. I was surprised
Thanks :D
Your welcome
And i think your gecko’s morph is Eublepharis Macularius
Can you send me a link of the zoo store. I want to look up.
Okay
Ty
yay ty
yes. Saw it
LMAO.
Cya around :D
Bye nice to meet you
So uh, my girl finally pooped after a hearty meal of 3 crickets. And uhh it has this brown and white speck in it. Should i be concerned?
Also i was unable to find new crickets to feed her
And now i gotta feed her mealworms for a week or two, would this be fine for her?
Ahh yes. Its normal. Leopard gecko’s healthy poops
Like it.
Ah okay then i was scared to death since the white part is getting a bit bigger every time
Same for me. When i got gecko for first time
Yes .
