Slyder - Gecko Sitting 🦎

Caring for Slyder required attentiveness to environmental condition rather than hands-on interaction. I monitored temperature, humidity, and habitat conditions, ensured feeding routines were followed correctly, and checked regularly for signs of stress or change.

I provided daily care for Slyder, my best friend’s leopard gecko. I’ve known him since he was a few months old, so looking after him felt like caring for family. Slyder has a little rainbow bridge in his enclosure, that he loves to climb on, and a little enrichment pop up mesh tent which he loves to run around in.

This experience reinforced the importance of observation-led care — understanding that well-being is often maintained through careful monitoring rather than constant intervention.

It was rewarding to spend extended time with Slyder, beyond the brief visits I usually made when seeing Gemma. Over the week, he grew noticeably more relaxed and comfortable, showing the benefits of consistent, attentive care.
