Do leopard geckos smell

Answer 1

They don't have any scent. Nor do they produce any scent that you can smell. If your tank smells bad, I suggest removing the gecko and cleaning it out with bleach, then setting it out in the sun for a few hours to dry out.

Answer 2

The leopard gecko itself does not smell but as with all animals, the droppings and fecal matter left behind can be smelly. Regular spot scooping should be done daily and a full tank cleaning should take place weekly to ensure the droppings left behind to not leave a bad smell.

Note that very smelly droppings from a leopard gecko may indicate a health problem, so if you notice a strong odor to them, and they are runny or discolored, then a vet checkup should be done immediately. Generally, leopard gecko droppings will dry out quickly in their arid environment, and will not have much odor. Check the gecko's humid hide daily, as droppings in there can cause mold and bacterial growth. Good hygiene will keep your gecko healthy.

Answer 3

Yes, when a leopard geckos tongue is flicking in and out of its mouth, it's picking up scent particles. These animals will learn the smell of the owner and become more accustomed to it and more comfortable with you. Also, this is how the animal will hunt for prey items such as insects and Spiders.

Geckos do not rely on smell for hunting, they rely on movement. If an insect sits completely still, they will not see it. They rely on the slightest movements and then ambush.

Leopard geckos require a weekly cleaning of the tank due to the smell that their feces can leave behind. The animal itself does not smell bad but often their droppings do.
