my gecko - Gleek

Gleek is an African Fat Tail Gecko, he is also my son <3

here's my son Gleek

I got Gleek on october 13th, 2025. he was just a few months old at that point, and very underweight, but four months later, he's thriving! I decided to make this blog to document his care (also to post all the pictures I take of him)

Gleek as a baby:

Gleek in the present:

I love him so much! I decided to get a gecko after realizing I needed a little guy in my home (and knowing my chronic illnesses would keep me from caring for a dog). he's now a healthy weight, and half a foot long

here are the resources I use for his care:

ReptiFiles AFT Gecko Care Sheet

TheBioDude AFT Gecko Care Sheet

LeopardGeckoTalk (youtube channel)

my asks are open :)

Gleek is very curious about my phone (he's most of my camera roll)

*sniffs*

his claws hurt so much 🥰

gave gleek's tank a refresh!

he was a lil nervous about it, and kept licking my hand instead of jumping right back home like he usually does

I can tell he already found a fave spot (the black humid hide), but he hasn't eaten since I put him back ;-;

[gleecko]

he's like 10% eyes
