    reporting a company

    That sounds just horrible. Good for you for wanting to take up the cause of reporting them. Try to get some pics but of course be careful. You don't want the manager or some employee trying to get you out of the store before you get all the pics you need. A cell phone camera would probably...

    ughh leo escapes while handling lol

    That's exactly why I never liked holding mine too much. I was always worried they would just dart somewhere really fast and I would lose track of them. Or they would injure themselves by falling. If I handle them its usually in or right on top of their tank. I don't start walking around the...

    New Gecko Owner - Half Starved Leo

    I once thought of getting a scorpion when I was a kid, but I'm glad I didn't. I quickly grew out of that phase.

    switching diets

    If you want to be as safe as possible I would suggest just doing it gradually. Feed your gecko a couple of crickets and then throw in a meal worm or two. Then slowly increase the number of worms and reduce the number of crickets. Although personally I used to just switch my geckos between...

    Whats the funniest thing your gecko(s) have ever done?

    This is something my first gecko Tequila used to do. You see I surrounded her tank on three sides with a sort of forest background wallpaper. In the tank I had this small artificial tree which was close to one of the walls. Tequila would climb to the top of the tree and then reach out towards...
