    anyone watch Dexter last night?

    Oh man I LOVE Dexter, which is why I named three of my geckos after characters (Dex, Rita, and Lila). We don't get showtime either, but we download the seasons and then buy the show when it comes out because it's just one of those series I want to own.

    Gecko Palace

    New photos! I covered the thing in grout and then several layers of white paint. I'm actually rethinking the color at this point... I think it might paint it in a more natural color, like a stone tan or something like that. I don't know, I'm just going to leave it as is for now while I think...

    WHAT SUBSTRATE DO YOU USE?

    No, don't ruin your beautiful enclosure with paper. Yea, pebbles would be good. I use river pebbles for some of my geckos. You could also look into something called Ecoearth (it's basically dirt-looking stuff that's made of coconuts), it looks like nice brown earth so it still looks natural...

    WHAT SUBSTRATE DO YOU USE?

    Erik, I don't know what to say about your substrate, I've never seen it before. I tend to think it might be a little risky, just because they are small hard balls. I doubt your geckos will eat any of them, but if they do it seems like it would be harder to pass than a super ultra-fine sand...

    Leos and sound/loud noise?

    Same! Mine are the same way -exposed to sounds all the time, just as my dog has been. And all the animals will sleep right through loud techno without an issue.

    How many times do u take your gecko out?

    Depends on the gecko. But I do like to take them out if they're walking around. I have two or three that are ultra sociable and those will get picked up several times a week.

    I just had to vent.

    They've been doing that here! But on the corner of a major intersection, and it drives me crazy! Honestly, I don't think they're getting anything done. Everyone knows everything about the issue and seeing photos of dead fetuses while you're getting your coffee at Starbucks isn't going to do much...

    Gecko Palace

    Yes, when I finish the actual palace I'll decide what to do with the substrate and any kind of "courtyard" decor. It really depends a little on what kind of space I have left over after I've put in the food and water bowls, and then on the size of the actual plant because I don't want to hide...

    Dog collar mini-rant

    Well, I know I'm going to have to spend money and that's fine. I just don't have $130 for the collar alone lol. Otherwise I would get that ostrich collar and leash I've fallen in love with and pay over $300 for the set. With my Sheltie, since she is sooo big (she's twice the weight of the...

    Gecko Palace

    Small updates (no new photos yet, sorry!): I tried fitting it into the tank and hurah! It fits! My measurements were correct, so I don't have to touch the actual structure at all. However, I didn't account for the domes (dur) when I measured the height of the building, so I have had to change my...

    Fat Tail Crazy! Bye Bye Ball Pythons :D

    Beautiful geckos! I would die for an amnel fat tail, but they're more money than I would like to spend typically. Maybe one day :) Beautiful little group!
