About my leopard gecko?

Question

if i buy a leash for my leopard gecko, can i take it outside and walk it in the sidewalk?

Answer 1

I wouldn't expose you gecko to the outside pollutants if I were you.  Too much c**p outside to worry about.

Answer 2

If it were possible to buy a leash for a leopard gecko, the gecko would react badly to something constantly against its body. They also don't like to be in open spaces, if you've ever tried putting your gecko on the floor you will notice it will start looking for cover. it's a defensive instinct, they will naturally look for shelter if placed in a wide open space to evade predators. 'walking' your gecko in a large wide open area with something stuck to its body that it can't remove would be highly stressful for your gecko. Not to mention the fact that they are nocternal and you would be disturbing it if you take it out during the day for a walk it would not appreciate. You must take into account it's species and natural behaviour, putting a leash on it and taking it for a walk would not be a nice thing for your gecko.

Answer 3

Their skin is extremely thin and is not meant to be rubbed on constantly by a leash.  They really don't need a leash... they don't run fast enough to have that be an issue.

Answer 4

i dont think its a good idea to walk a gecko, beacuse they are not adapted for walking, they're good at stalking, but if really want to bring it with you outside, it would be best if you carry it with you..

Answer 5

If you take it outside it may get dirty and/or get infested by bugs or mites. I wouldn't but you can if you want. For more information you should ask a reptile vet.

I hope I helped.
