I started with 400 back in 08 I think Im around 6-8 k females. im feeding 56 geckos and was up over 100 for a while. I dont feed roaches the good stuff anymore due to how much they eat. It costs a 50lb of dog food every 2 months, and some mixed veggies, I only gut load with the veggies, before...

look at how crickets are shipped

I got a lot of odd hobbies according to the mainstream, I can say I have not met anyone into anything im into other than fishing, and I prefer to fish, in my kayak, at night alone. I think having an internet corespondence about gecko's, between someone in CA vs NJ is the same. I also have...

I have 25+ with more hatching every week, all TSF, all 100% het Murphy,s patternless and all 50% Tremper albino. Dad is a 70g Snow Muphy's Patt het albino. I have sizes from 30g down to 10g I have some smaller but would rather get them going a bit before letting them go. They are all feeding on...

I breed them In my class to show real examples of genetics to my students, I allso get them involved in the feeder projects. with the geckos crickets and roaches, I have subjects for statistics, graphing, math, scientific methods, life cycles, populations, biomes and more. I also just like...

I have been meaning to make some cools stuff for my geckos but with my new career I haven’t barely had the time to breathe, but these are some things I made, which I can use the same skills and techniques to make anything for my geckos. lord derby eland rack its fiberglass and sillicone...

I got it in the hand not a finger by a full size tokay 13 incher I had cotton balls of alcohol on his head for at least 15 min and he just kept on chewing, and trying to spin, when I let it go with the other hand. after 30+ min and his teeth really starting to sink in, I stuck a screwdriver in...

o and their skin would preserve just fine, but casting would be the way to go, mounting such a small delicate skin would take some time and skill, not to mention carving the form to put the skin on.

you could look for leopard geco reproductions where the actual gecko is molded and cast. it used to be one of my old hobbies, I did mostly skulls, horns, and antlers, I did do a frozen emu foot once which is the same process for molding a gecko. If one of mine dies Ill definitly mold the poor...

not counting for leap years, at $0.10 a cricket and 2 crickets a day for 30years would be about $2190.00 and thats the starvation diet 4 crickets a day would be $4380.00 and thats not even mentioning the KWH of say non stop 120w heat bulb and 20w heat mat, 3.36 KWH a day, 10950 days, $0.12 per...

life has a way of working things out if you let it, it took millions of years of evolution for the Leo to nestle in to its current ecological niche, dont think you can breed that instinct away in a few generations, obviously most of the color morphs would do poorly due to predation. Just think...

mine have been doing great on dubia roaches about half the size of their head, maybe a tad bigger. They were born on 11/17 at 3.5g-3.9g now 12/14 the biggest is 8.1g and the smallest is 7g. I keep a shallow dish in their cage with them available at all times. the last group I did with crickets...

before being a science teacher I was a Union Carpenter /welder, I rigged up something out of a bunch of thick oak 6ftx30in desktops, its a reinforced 20in shelf about 1/2in above a 20L tank on the floor, 15 gal fit on the shelf, then the full desktops on that. I have room for 9 per level. I only...

I like the tanks, but they do cost $ luckly I cleaned out a fish breeder going out of buissness and got 18 tanks for $150. Now I have a rack system for tanks in my class, I do 20L on the floor and 15 ontop, then 20L on a desk top above that. I was thinking of doing a tub/rack thing for my...

I have them in a few set ups. I have a 30 breeder with 5 geckoes and 4 hides with 1 moist hide, mostly I find them randomly pilled up 3-4, they seem to like each other and it has nothing to do with which places is better, they are always found together in one or 2 hides, and not the same hides...
