Hello! I used to breed crested geckos and all of the babies I've raised over the years seem very large at 2 years old, but one in particular I decided to keep is only 9 grams at (2 years old in August). She eats, climbs, isn't too thin or anything. She's just so small!! Is there such a thing as...

Thank you, yes I went through yesterday and cleaned the outsides of the vivs with hand sanitizer and hot water, and same thing inside of the enclosures and then sprayed them down with water really well. And then sometime this week I'm going to get some fresh isopods and springtails and see if...

If there is anyone who has advice, please. I'm thinking of adding more springtails and isopods to eradicate the mite population so that I don't have to use any pesticides that may harm my animals or the existing isopods and plants, and using a pesticide for mites specifically around the outside...

One thing after another for sure. Today I noticed tiny white colored mites (I know they aren't springtails) in all my enclosures. Climbing the glass inside and out, all over the soil. I don't know if they are soil mites or harmful mites but how to I get rid of them in bioactive naturally planted...

I'm thinking it was just her, she got very thin and stopped eating a few days before she passed. My others are healthy and happy. But now I'm noticing that her bioactive enclosure has a lot of tiny white colored soil mites? They aren't red or brown like spider mites or snake mites so I'm hoping...

Thank you, it was definitely devastating. Well it couldn't be impaction since she never ate insects even when offered. She mostly ate the CGD mixed with water.

My little Iris (peacock day gecko) has suddenly passed away. I'm worried there could be a disease or something inside her enclosure (it's bioactive, naturally planted) because the day after she passed suddenly, one of the dairy cow isopods I had living in there showed up dead in the open area of...

My peacock day pair. Iris and Sage. Such beautiful geckos!

Iris! My beautiful girl. She's a female peacock day gecko. She's never shy and loves to be the center of attention. Whenever she hears voices she comes running up to the glass.

Granite, my super dalmatian crested gecko. She was from my last clutch of two super dalmatian pinstripes. I want to breed again eventually!

Thanks for the reply! As far as feeding dry there isn't any evidence so far in my experience or any other keepers experience giving both wet and dry that either poses any health risks. I'm mainly inquiring what others have tried and if they've had any issues with it or if not, cause I don't like...
