So I bought a male leopard gecko a while back, Shekar. (I name my geckos after scientists based on the regionality they come from, usually herpetologists.)
He looks like this:
Kinda hard to see, but I bred him to 2 other female leopard geckos, and He's a mild tangerine, carrot tail, super...
TT I found her dead. I swore I saw her a few times but she was too fast for me to catch her and I thought I was hallucinating. I'm heartbroken. Meanwhile the male managed to figure out how to open his sliding door... soo... worked on fixing that and caught him. But now in hybernation and OK. But...
Waxworms and mealworms have lower nutrition values and are really fatty. If possible, you might want to consider dubia roaches. High protein, high calcium, and active enough that the reptile will take it on its own, but won't crawl out of the dish you put them in. They also die outside of the...
So I have a female gecko, in my best estimation a super hypo mild tangerine carrot tail. (parents are a super hypo tangerine carrot tail [M] and a superhypo super yellow [F])
I've raised her since she hatched from her egg. None of her siblings show any of the same symptoms (4 others, one half...
Thanks. I found one. The male. I looked under his shelf during the day, but I couldn't see him. I went to the bathroom and then he stuck his head out from under his cage shelf in that direction–what's going on? I tried to lure him with a dubia roach, but he ran away, so after half an hour of...
I have 2 escaped African fat tails and I've tried to look in every nook and cranny for them, but they seem to hide in a different place than Leopard Geckos (Which I also own). I was wondering if anyone had tips for setting their traps more effectively. I find that my two are more shy? And are...
I saw the concern was something like if the crickets eat the allium and allium is toxic to dogs, that the crickets eating the allium species might be toxic to geckos, though it's never been proven, but that's a lot of leaps... I don't think crickets particularly like onion, garlic, or scallions...
I'm working on making a bioactive enclosure (a few) for African fat tailed and Leopard Geckos. Being a bit of a cheapskate and liking to grow plants from the grocery store... I have some plants I can't find on lists of toxic or non-toxic to ask about.
I have a ginger plant (grown from a...
My AFT male, about the same size eats almost exclusively crickets. I can sometimes trick him to take a superworm, but I have to put something more delicious up front first, like say a waxworm, which is why I don't do it often. They also like Dubia Roaches. But yeah, leave him alone except to...
I bought a female leopard gecko from a pet store (local one--which I've bought from before). (Kiran--posted her before) She grew up with her sister, whom was bought ahead of her. (I was going to buy her sister too, but someone already had bought her). She has a nice fat tail when I bought her...
I'm really sad. I contacted the seller and got a refund for the price of the gecko, but not the shipping. I'm giving them a second chance since I've bought from them before. They originally promised a gecko without a regrown tail, so I'm hoping they won't let me down this time. I bought a ball...
I bought an African fat tailed Gecko, set it up in quarantine, put in a humidity box with spagnum moss sprayed it really well, a water dish, a hide on the cool end and it died within 24 hours. The other geckos I own are perfectly fine (I sanitize well between tanks anyway... just in case). I'm...
Bought a male to service my two females...
It doesn't show up well here, but there is also a faint white stripe down the middle of his dorsal.
I put him in temporary digs until he gets out of quarantine. He was quite freaked out because apparently the shipper shipped to the wrong address...
She was in a local pet shop with her sister, but her sister got sold and she didn't, so I took mercy on her and bought her. She's pretty chill. I named her Kiran Vijaya. Kiran after a famous Indian woman Scientist (in biology). And Vijaya after the first Indian woman herpetologist.
My other...
