What does it mean when leopard gecko digs in the cage?

Well, you're probably in for a surprise. In other words, your leopard gecko is pregnant! If you've never had any other leopard geckos in the aquarium (or wherever you keep it) then the egg will never hatch, it's just a cycle some leopard geckos go through, and is not uncommon. No need to worry, just remove the egg; but if you have had another leopard gecko in the cage before, it was probably a male, even if you thought otherwise, as this can be tricky. If this is so, you should put a small container of fresh aspen shavings or the moss you can get, but not the sand (this can be hazardous for baby leopard geckos). Hopefully, your gecko will lay her egg in the container, and you should remove that and place them in an incubator (directions at http://www.albeysreptiles.com/incubate-eggs.htm). Continue to follow the directions at that website, and you will find what you need. If the eggs are not in the container, carefullyremove the eggs by taking all that is under it and gently placing it in the container. Try to incubate them, following the directions given earlier, but it will normally be too late by then. Hope your hatchlings-to-be will do well!

The leopard and the jaguar are both members of the genus Panthera. The other living members of this genus are the lion, tiger and snow leopard. The leopard may be the most closely related to the jaguar of the five species, but that is still a matter of dispute.


Leopards are smaller and more lightly built than jaguars. The leopard's spots are smaller and more densely packed than are those of a jaguar.


Although both are descended from Old World cats, the modern jaguar lives only in America and the modern leopard lives only in the Old World (Eurasia and Africa).


Jaguar vs. Leopard

The leopard is found across Africa, Asia, and the Amur region of Russia. Jaguars are found in all of south and central america, and in recent years, north to the U. S. border with Mexico in Texas, as well. The jaguar has a shorter, more stocky build than the leopard. Also, the jaguar tends to have larger rosettes with spots in the middle; the leopard has plain rosettes with no central spot in the middle. In addition, jaguars have a much broader forehead and wider jaw because they kill their prey differently than leopards. Unlike other big cats, jaguars kill prey by crushing the spinal column and must have a much stronger bite in order to do so. This means that the shape of their skull is unique among the cat species. As a result, they have the strongest bite-force of any member of the cat family--even stronger than lions and tigers.

What are some threats to a Florida Panther?

The Florida race of the mountain lion, called "Florida Panther", was threatened by inbreeding, and loss of habitat, which in turn caused many conflicts, most of all collisions with cars. The cats were down to around 30 in the wild, when researchers released 8 Texas cougars, all female, which is a race very closely allied to the Florida race, to help with the inbreeding problem. There are now over 85 panthers there now, and measures are being taken to decrease the numbers of auto fatalities to them by building crossways beneath highways for them to cross safely.
