    Normal weight gain?

    Thank you both, I guess because I see her every day it doesnt feel as if shes growing noticeably. She does indeed have CGD with insect bits but she doesnt seem to be a big fan of the flavour so I sometimes mix them together. Fingers crossed she stops being scared of me soon!

    Normal weight gain?

    Is the below weight gain normal for a gargoyle gecko or should it be higher? I've tried crickets a few times but she doesn't seem to like them so she's just been eating CGD. I've been hand feeding her but she has a tendency to have a dozen licks, then try and run off, then a few more licks and...

    Should I swap my lights around?

    I've got a heat mat on one side of the tank and then a branch that goes up to the top corner and my gargoyle gecko likes to sit at the top of the branch presumably so shes getting the heat from the mat and the bulb. The bulb in that corner is the UVB one and theres another bulb just for lighting...

    Leaving feeder insects in vivarium?

    Thank you both, as shes new I don't want to scare her by trying to pick her up. I think if I did succeed then eating would be the last thing on her mind. I've noticed she did eat some GCD that I spilt on her log so I might make a trail to her food bowl and see if she can find it

    Leaving feeder insects in vivarium?

    Hello, I've got a baby gargoyle gecko around 3 months. I've had her for a week. She refused to eat anything up until a 3 days ago and she licked a bit of CGD of a twig. I tried feeding her mealworms/crickets and she didn't seem interested and I couldn't get a hang of the tongs because I didn't...

    Newbie questions

    Hi Aliza, I've ordered a few bits, I think I'm going to set everything up and leave it for a few weeks without purchasing a gecko just to make sure habitat is at a nice temperature etc and let the isopods settle in and then once it's looking good I'll go looking for one. Thank you so much for...

    Newbie questions

    Hi Aliza, Thank you for your information. I've carried out a lot more research and I think I've settle of a gargoyle. My local reptile centre sell a full package for crested/gargoyle geckos, the only thing is some people said no UVB and others say it's recommended. Some say no extra heating and...

    Newbie questions

    Hello! I've been looking at getting a reptile for a few months now and a gecko is something I'm considering, I have a few questions: I'd prefer to not feed live bugs as I don't drive and I'd struggle to get to the pet shop often to purchase them. I've read a lot about a powder mix to mix with...
