with bonsai, you'd be surprised who sells them. Even Lowe's sometimes has them. It's better just to keep an eye out for small nurseries-most have bonsai.

yeah, plus I read that one of the reasons that leos are having a hard time in their native habitat is that the pakistani people in the Great Thar desert think that they're poisonous and demons and kil them. Some people need to be educated. Instead of realizing this, many people blame the pet...

Ma, can I poke the tortoise? Can I? Can I?

I was sick with the H1N1 and strep throat last week, and couldn't go to school. Yesterday I felt a little better, and decided to make something. Well, I found a 4ft board and a 21 1/2"X14" particle board and decided to make a cat house. Materials: dad's hammer my 25th anniversary...

Are those dust mites I see?

But there are behavioral "mutations". If a leopard gecko is kept in a colony and that colony does better than it would if they were individuals, the colony is going to stay a colony after a couple generations. And if the colony is split up, the individuals are likely to form colonies if possible...

I need someone to recommend new feeders for my leo. I've tried crickets, but couldn't keep them alive for more than a few days and they're really expensive. I've tried mealies with a little more success... I still have a container full of dead mealworm and beetle bodies in my room that I dont...

That happened to my leo when I was trying to find a bulb that would be hot enough. I came home with the temp at over 100 degrees. The only change in my leo's appearance or behavior was that he started coming out more often.

This is just my opinion, not the opinion of a professional or something scientifically proven: Leopard geckos are not naturally social, and I am aware of that. They live singly in remote regions of the Great Thar Desert, and are nomadic in nature. However, leopard geckos in the US pet trade are...

Keep in mind that I still have the old tank to use as a quarantine tank, or to house the other gecko if the two don't get along. My gecko has never been all that friendly towards me... he still bites and screeches and jumps, unless I put him on my shirt. then he calms down.

I just got my leopard gecko a larger tank, 20L. I was also considering buying him a friend. He is about 1 year old, not sure about his weight but about 6.5 inches long from tip of tail to nose. Been housed single since last August, when he was purchased from a pet** (he had only been in their...

I've read about toxic newsprint ink

Had to go scavenging for hides... Fond some, gecko seems more curious than I have ever seen him before. Had to see which hide he liked better, the humid or the hot, on opposite sides of the tank. Didn't make the decorations too high, so he wouldn't get out.
