    Wild gecko

    The geckos have been living comfortably on the rocks for a few years now with no signs of injury, no missing toes/nails and no redness, etc. After doing more research, I would replace the smaller rocks I used with hard packed clay and smooth flat rocks. That seems most natural to me based upon...

    75g small mouth bass aquarium... Q's

    I will be catching the bass as babies only 2-3" long, and releasing them after a year, much before they reach adult size. I realize that for a adult bass, a much larger aquarium would be preferable. I want to add that before I do any of this I plan to check my local laws, and make sure that...

    75g small mouth bass aquarium... Q's

    I have a 75g aquarium that I plan to set up with a few young small mouth bass, and maybe a catfish. My plan is to use a sand and gravel mix for the bottom, with some natural rocks and a few driftwood peices. I plan to add some anachris plants as well. For filtration I plan on using a AquaClear...

    Wild gecko

    I was interested in setting up the same type of tank as well. This is what I ended up with: I picked out all the rocks at a lanscaping store, they had all sorts of stuff to choose from, but I thought this resembled their natural habitat best. For the substrate I have a sand and peat...

    House Mates

    They come from different areas on the globe, and have different needs for their environment. Humidity being the main difference. In short, no, you should not ever keep leopard geckos and fat tailed geckos together.

    SNEAK-PREVIEW!!!

    Thanks for the information Gregg, I was concerned about the egg fluids because in the past I have always incubated in deli cups, with one clutch per container. That way the fluid never really had any time to sit around, as I would always empty the substrate out. I think I'll just stick with damp...

    SNEAK-PREVIEW!!!

    Gregg, I was wondering how good of a seal the lid gets on the container. They both seem to be made out of the same hard plastic, so I wasnt sure how snuggly they fit on. Also, with leopard gecko eggs, have you had any trouble with eggs being rotated by babies? Say I have a clutch that will hatch...

    Do geckos die often in nature

    for one, leopard geckos are not at the bottom of the food chain. Where would you clasify the insectes that they PREY on? If propperly taken care of in captivity, geckos have a potential to live much longer than in the wild. Removing certain factors such as predators and "extra" stress among...
