Sorry to hear you lost Marley :(
Dont feel like you failed him. You helped him by taking him in and giving him your care. Im sure he was very well looked after. Nature is cruel sometimes and takes away those you love :(
Today our beautiful little girl passed away :(
A few weeks ago she was egg bound for about a week...we took her to the vets a few times during this for medicines and treatment and she managed to pass the egg.
But she still wasnt eating afterwards and started to lose weight.
I took her...
Freya passed away today :bigcry:
We saw she wasnt well yesterday as she was very restless and not her usual friendly self.
We noticed a dark mark on her belly and some forming eggs and thought she might be having trouble passing them.
She was very sluggish and didnt look well at all...
Hot side inside the cage is anything from 95-100 during the day. I put a red 40w bulb on during the day causing the heat mat to click off, then the bulb goes off in the evening and the mat clicks on. So the air temp is slightly cooler on a night even though they have plenty of heat all the time...
I use tap water and i was just wondering from reading posts about people being scared to use it if the fear of it could in time be detrimental to leos.
In the wild leos would probably drink from puddles or lick water from wet rocks etc, clearly water not treated with chemicals but not totally...
I use a UTH and a red bulb. For some reason they prefer it with the bulb on during the day, which heats up so the UTH actually turns off, and then when i turn the bulb off at night the UTH turns back on.
The bulb shines onto their rocky hide that they spend the day inside and it warms the...
Evening for me as if i wake them up in the morning to eat they get all grumpy and wont eat.
Peppa and the babies have mealworms at all times but Daisy and Yoshi refuse to eat from a bowl, i spoiled them too much when i first got them :(
I have music on quite a bit and sometimes a little loud and my geckos sleep through it :)
So its either not as loud as i think or they find my music boring ;)
I also think their sensitivity to noise would depend on the day to day noise they hear. If you live in a very quiet house and then...
Ive also had this happen where i get a new gecko and for the first few months it eats loads and then gradually eats less.
I think its because when ive had them from the pet store they are pretty skinny. Not unhealthy thin but slim.
Then when they come to me they get plenty to eat and...
I voted yes for same reason as others have posted. If people dont have the time to clean out the tank before taking pictures to potentially sell the gecko then i dont think they care enough about the animals for me to want to buy them.
Tbh before someone becomes a breeder they should think...
Are there any specs on her skin that could be mites?
Ive never had any so not totally sure what they look like but the scratching could be some indication of something on the skin.
Every now and then i see mine scratch the side of their head like a dog, its pretty cute :)
Hopefully its...
Hi :)
Ive had my dubias since about March and got them as small so im still new to breeding them :)
For my geckos the switch to dubia's was easy. They seem to love chasing them and because they dont jump they are easier to catch.
For starting a colony it is really easy. I use a big...
That is really cool :) I wouldnt think bugs were that intelligent :D I love my roaches and i normally hate bugs.
Tonight i felt so bad though :( I gave Daisy a roach and after chewing on it for a while trying to pull it off the reptile carpet she spat it out and then refused to eat it.
It...
