    Thank you all for your lovely comments, some of them almost brought me to tears. Gizmo is still with us and doing as she can do, but thank you for all your well wishes, it really means a lot ♥ As for my website www.askleopardgecko.com/ I have begun responding to some of the questions on there😊

    The fact you can show footage of Giz from 18 years ago is a testament to how well they have been cared for. Crazy to think theyre also likely one of the most viewed Leopard Geckos in the history of the internet. Crazy life for a little geck.

    I’m so sorry. My girl had this exact problem and passed. She was only 5, and that completely broke my heart. I still think about her a lot and it still hurts a lot, but she’s not in pain anymore. I spent over $2,000 in vet bills, but I would have spent more if they could have saved her. I am sorry. I hope that you find peace.

    I've watched this channel since I was 12 years old and you inspired me to get my first gecko at 14. I remember DM'ing you on instagram years ago asking for vivarium advice. I remember ziggy going and feeling second hand heartbreak. I made my first bioactive 3 footer for a 4 month old gargoyle I obtained yesterday recently, all inspired by the videos I used to binge as a kid. Your geckos have inspired a generation of reptile lovers and though they might age and eventually go, there impact will be felt in the families of those you inspired, in their children and in the geckos that live better lives thanks to your information. Thank you for inspiring me and many others in your community and have my heartfelt condolences on gizmos situation.

    That’s definitely worrisome news when it comes to Gizmo. I hope she enjoys her golden years though and I’m glad she’s still remaining active and eating.
    I fairly recently had my very first reptile pass away due to an extremely sudden heart problem and a blood clot. She was a corn snake named Cortes that meant the absolute world to me and even now I feel broken up about it now many months later. I had her since I was 8 years old, I’m 19 now. I was told by the vet that it wasn’t anything care related, her age and genetics just decided it was time.
    It’s always important to cherish the animals in your life, I will always be grateful to my snake for helping me get interested in science, reptiles, and reptile keeping.

    I Lost my First Leo Hook Who was also 18 and a half last October. i had him since i was 14 and he was my first. He had taken a turn and just wasn't right not peering at me from his tank like he always did, took him to the vets they gave me some meds to see if he had an infection etc and i was told he was the healthiest and oldest gecko they had seen which was amazing to hear. sadly it turned out he was in heart failure and one morning i went to give meds and he had fluid in places under his skin like a water balloon so we got an emergency appointment and had him pts. it was and still is hard. his tank stood empty till only a few weeks ago. i have lost animals before and i lost my girl leo at age 14 to a brain tumour which was also very hard but Hook, Hook was my little pal... only advice i can give is don't leave it till they suffer... don't hold out that tiny bit of hope when you know in your heart and soul that its time.. say goodbye before you have to witness the suffering at the late stages save yourself that memory.. save her the suffering X we give them the best lives we can and its our duty to repay there love with a gentle loved goodbye X

      Aww I'm so sorry to hear that - I also love that you're also called Rebecca, we must have got leos around the same time too. Yeah the only good thing with Gizmo is shes still eating and alert, I'd hate to see her suffer, so we're taking things day to day. I was filming a clip of her for an upcoming video, I added in a morio worm to see if she'd be interested and she chomped it down in a flash :'). It sucks because you sometimes get that glimmer of hope that maybe the vets got it wrong and she'll be fine, but then you know in your heart, it likely wont be 🥺💔

    So sorry, but as with everything that lives, it unfortunately doesn't last. I have an 18yo dachshund who is "on final approach" to the "airport", so to speak. One thing that you can control as a pet owner is to provide the highest level of enrichment you can (that you know how, and can afford) for as long as possible. I have no doubt that describes Gizmo's experience.

    I lost my 9 year old leo Grapes about 4 months ago. I was heartbroken because i had her since i was 12. she stopped eating, her stomach was more enlarged than usual (turns out she also had eggs) and we mostly assumed it was impaction. the vet did an x-ray and gave her some liquid that they could see inside her intestines. they found some impaction towards the end of the intestines so they decided surgery was the best option. they found that she had gout around her abdomen and liver and close to her heart. just two days after the surgery she passed away. the doctor said that the impaction was likely also caused by the gout. i was sobbing on the way home after picking her up, she looked healthy before i dropped her off but she had lost a significant amount of weight and she looked very ill. i wasn’t sure if it was the stress of her being at the vet or if it was the gout taking over very quickly. i try not to think about it because i sometimes wonder that maybe it was the surgery that killed her sooner. unfortunately there is no known cause for gout, and it can happen to any reptile at any age with no reason. i’ve heard it is genetic but it’s hard to be for sure. i hope for the best for gizmo. it’s very hard to lose a pet you’ve had for so long.
