    WANTED: Small female leo (can be older or infertile) that won't bully tank mate.

    Hi All, I am looking for a small female leopard gecko to put in the tank with my other female who tends to get bullied and is currently in a 35 gallon tank by herself (the other geckos have been re-homed to breeders or have passed away). There are 7 hides in total so there is plenty of room. NO...

    eclipse eyes...

    So what exactly IS an eclipse? I've been trying to figure this out for a while, is it just a gecko with solid or partially solid eyes that passes the trait onto their offspring?

    Do you watch your Leo Eat?

    I feel like I have to watch my 2 girls, one was always a bit bigger than her sister and one time they both went for the same cricket at the same time. The small one got the cricket and the big one got the small ones face in her mouth, they were ok though. Recently Ivy, the bigger one, did the...

    They get along!!

    I just had to share, I put my old male in with my 2 females, and they already sleep together! I figured since he has been extremely inactive lately and could benefit from a bigger space it would be a good idea. He is a retired breeder, and either dosen't try to breed or is infertile because he...

    using a daytime bascking bulb good or bad

    The WHISPERER: The UTH is about 85 with the light off and 90 with it on, but they have plenty of room on the cold side, and there is a bigger hide in the middle of the hot and cold side that is warmish. Is that an ok temperature? It's a special daylight bulb for reptiles.

    using a daytime bascking bulb good or bad

    I have a SHTCT that is ALWAYS basking on top of her hide during the day, she seems to love it, even if I put her under the hide she just crawls back on top, it wont hurt her will it?

    New Humid Hide Boxes

    I just use arcrylic but I would imagine spray paint or some of that airpaint would work better as you can't get arcrylic paint wet once it dries. This isn't a problem for me cause they stay in one tank only and I don't really need to clean them, if I needed to disinfect the tank I would just...

    New Humid Hide Boxes

    I did this with my humid hides as well, except I never got around to actually gluing the plants :D. If you want to take it one step furthur paint the tuperware grey or brown, it looks awesome. Also, to save money, go buy fake plants at a craft store or even Wal Mart, I paid $4 each for a bunch...
