Leopard Gecko leash? Link included!

Question

http://www.petco.com/product/5025/Four-Paws-Safety-Iguana-Leash-and-Harness.aspx

Would this work for my 2 1/2 year old Leo? She is a sweetie and LOVES being held, but I need a leash for her cause she can run! =) Thankx!

Answer 1

leash wouldn't be a good idea because the leopard gecko can get tangle in the leash and strange herself especially when you said it likes to run around.

Answer 2

Leopard geckos do not tolerate leashes!  When put in a leash, most will flail, spin and will entangle themselves in it.  A leash creates a stressful  situation for a gecko!

Answer 3

That is an iguana leash. They are much sturdier and bigger than a gecko. I would not put my gecko on a leash. If she likes being held, make a secure area on the floor with things that will slow her down if she gets loose and play with her in the secure area. (Baby pool?- no water of course)

  Gecko's are delicate and I think that putting her on a leash might damage her little body.

EDIT: since the leopard Gecko has claws, it does not climb well and the baby pool should work as a play yard for her without much risk of her taking off.

Answer 4

I found a better website to buy it at.  Read my source.  Alright?  See it?  

Answer 5

i had one, mine didnt like it

i dont recommend it

they jerk out, almost like its chocking them!

i took it outside when it was hot, and she freaked out and started flipping and ugh

if you take her outside, do not go on the grass

it will poke them

and they will freak out

so, all and all, NO. its not natural for a gecko or lizard to be leashed.

not a good idea..

BUT if it likes to run, set up a little pen on ur floor using opened folders, and put objects in the middle of the pen for them to go under and around

they love it

and its huge so they can run

just make sure u make walla around it somehow so it doesnt end up running to the back of ur clothset, like mine did!

Answer 6

Oh my God, first answerer should be reported for that!

EDIT: Oops, it got deleted I guess.

It might work, also you can check Petsmart if you have one nearby. I am also aware that some Targets have good reptile leashes. Hope I hleped as much as I could!!

Answer 7

a leash for your gecko?????

haha thats hilarious.

i guess it would... if it fits her...

Answer 8

no its mostly for iguanas and bigger animals

Answer 9

probably not! i have 2 leopard gecko's and they would probably be able to slide out of that very easily! Thats an iguana leash and they have rough skin and big heads, so thats probably good for them. but wouldn't recommend it for a gecko!

Answer 10

looks perect!!
