I have a heat mat that ranges from 88-90 degrees for my leopard gecko but I know it can get pretty cold in the House can I use a (CHE)? If so how many watts is it recommended so my leopard gecko won’t get burn
It is okay for nighttime temps to drop a bit. Make sure they don't go lower than the low 70s F. Consider a thermometer at each end of the enclosure to verify temperatures. If necessary, a 60 watt CHE would probably heat or maintain temps above the low 70s F in a small tank overnight. You would need to test it out. Save the receipt in case you need to return it or buy a 100 watt CHE and move it farther away from the tank.

I rescued a 3year old leopard gecko I brought him home about 2weeks ago he is very tame after about 4days I started to offer him food the people I rescued him from feed him super worms I slowly try to change him to crickets since I know super worms d
Give him a good soak (20-30 minutes) in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte. This will provide hydration and warm him up which may stimulate his appetite. An exam with your veterinarian or an experienced herp vet is always recommended for "new" pets or pets that may be ill or injured. Offer food about an hour or 2 after the heat lamp comes on in the morning. This will allow him to warm up and he will be more likely to eat what is offered. Use a variety of prey if possible. This can include crickets, dubia roaches, phoenix worms and the occasional superworm. Superworms are good to feed if you have a skinny gecko that needs to put on weight.

my gf caught this lizard in Jeju, South Korea; we think it's of the Takydromus family; she is caring for him because she's worried about his injury - she has ordered mealworms for him to eat--any other recommendations? - he has had one of his hi
It does appear to be of the takydromus species. These grass lizards are common and fairly easy to keep. Being adept climbers, more vertical space should be offered in an enclosure. Branches and vines can be placed for climbing. Bring reptiles, they need an external heat source and UVB lighting. Daytime temps can range from 24 C to 30 C (75-85 F). Provide a basking spot of around 35 C to 38 C (95-100 F) using a heat lamp. Aim for 70-80% humidity. Provide a shallow bowl for water. Mist the cage daily. Feed appropriately sized prey, no bigger than the space between the eyes, that have been gutload for 24 hours prior to offering. This will maximize nutritional value. Crickets, mealworms, dubia roaches, waxworms or wingless fruit flies can all be offered. Dust prey with a calcium supplement and a multivitamin supplement several times weekly. Ideally, the wound should be addressed by a veterinarian experienced in treating reptiles. You can clean it with dilute Betadine or chlorhexidine

My pet leopard gecko isn’t eating. Whenever I put a mealworm in front of him he licks it and walks away. His tail is also skinny, he is a baby gecko by the way. He’s been sleeping a lot, I got him yesterday. Is he sick?
He could be stressed with the change in environment. Confirm proper environmental parameters, especially temperature. Low temps can affect activity and appetite in reptiles. Offer appropriately sized prey, no bigger than the space between the eyes. For a juvenile gecko, this can be quite small. You can offer mealworms, just use freshly molted ones. They are softer and more easily digested. Crickets, dubia roaches and phoenix worms can also be offered. Gut load all prey for 24 hours prior to offering to maximize nutritional value.
