    New leachie tank!

    Just got this tank a few days ago and my gecko seems to be loving it so far. I was concerned that he wouldn't eat being small in a cage this large but he's been gobbling down crickets and repashy. It's hard to tell in the picture but there's a large grapewood in the center and cork rounds behind...

    Leachie Coloration

    Approximately how long does it take for a Leachie gecko to develop its adult pattern and coloration? Specifically a Pine Island locale. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thoughts on glass vs screen terrariums

    I ordered a 18x24x36 exo terra! I'll post another update thread when I get it. It's on back order so it may be awhile lol I think it'll look much better for display than screen will. Also the tank cost the same as the cork tiles would've cost. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thoughts on glass vs screen terrariums

    Yeah I know he doesn't need that big of an enclosure but I was considering making his habitat a display piece. Also my crested is in a 18x18x24 and he loves it but he is much smaller than my leachie will be. I figured that the price difference isn't that much more to give him plenty of room:) I...

    Thoughts on glass vs screen terrariums

    I've been looking into it more and I decided I'll just get a glass exo terra soon. I didn't think there were any big enough but after some searching I found a 36x18x36 terrarium. I'll upgrade him when he gets a little bigger:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thoughts on glass vs screen terrariums

    I was wondering if anyone has any experiences they'd like to share regarding screen cages for leachies. I have my baby Isle of Pines in a screen enclosure and he has been doing outstanding. I don't have issues with humidity at all. The only thing I'm concerned with is nail catching. Has anyone...

    New Gecko Hasn't Started Eating Yet

    I had my leachie shipped to me from TX and he was eating the first day :) Although when I got my python it took him nearly a month to start eating regularly. These things really depend on the individual. For now I'd be patient and keep offering food. If he doesn't eat within a week then you...

    Bugs in my gecko's food! Help!

    I had this happen to me once. The insects were so small I couldn't tell what they were so I scooped up a few and put them in a separate container to mature. Turned out they were incredibly small baby crickets lol Usually these things will creep you out and bother you more than the animal. It's...

    My wrinkle bags ;)

    Those are leachie geckos not gargoyles. Various care sheets are available online. But to answer your question, their care isn't much different from cresteds. Mainly it is their habitat that differs (space, humidity, temp, etc). They make outstanding pets and I highly recommend them just make...
