One of my girls defecates only every once in a while (once a month, more or less). When she does, the feces are huge, decomposed and smelly. It's been like than since I got her, about one year and a half ago. The vet has tested her feces twice and nothing showed up. She acts naturally, eats...

As many of you know, the black "veins" in the eyes are black pigmentation, not really veins. True veins are naturally red, and if they are shown like that only in albinos is because the mutation removes melanine, taking out the black "veins", leaving the true veins exposed. The eclipse gene seem...

Is there any special reason on using computer paper instead of paper towel or any other kind? Does it hold smell better or something, or it is just because you use it as your usual substrate? I'm going to try this in the following weeks. My females aren't being nice to the boys :main_no:

I was going to try it this year, but the female I was going to use is not eating properly so I may have to wait. It is perfectly possible to discern whose is the offspring if you think about it a little. My plan was to breed a Bell albino and a normal to a Bell albino female. All albinos will be...

Check this thread: http://www.geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=33322 I'd say Tremper because I *think* I see a tint of red in its eyes.

More info on slurry 'the European way'. I'm not from the UK, but this may help: * I didn't find Ensure anywhere. After talking to some vets and chemists, I came to the conclusion that Meritene is almost the same product and is readily available here. * I looked in several supermarkets and...

Thanks for the info Tomek :) Good look there AtlantaHerp. Field herping in Afghanistan, sounds good. If you find anything please share! There's not much research done on leopard geckos in their natural habitat or at least I haven't found much. I'm getting "The Eyelid Geckos" book soon. I...

I've never seen a Tremper albino with orange eyes apart from enigma Tremper albinos. I'd say Bells have pinkish/reddish eyes, Rainwaters have light gray eyes with an almost unnoticeable reddish tint and Trempers are somewhere in between and vary a lot... From reddish eyes to gray eyes. I only...

Have you tried locusts or grasshoppers? They DEVOUR grass, and are said to be quite healthy, maybe you could buy some at a pet store until you spend all the wheat grass... Ungrateful bugs!

I LOVE the dragon geckos (the spines on the tails remind me a lot of the strophurus ciliaris ciliaris!). It looks like I'm not the only one who enjoys drawing bizarre animal mixes, lol! But you obviously have much more creativity than me. I'm going to have a look at your devianArt account. I...

I've had a female lay eggs without ever mating, but flipping on her back sounds to me like a weird way to relieve the pain. Inpherno says that the round mass was brown inside so it doesn't seem a follicle, but... A friend of mine had to put down a knob-tail gecko female that wasn't thriving...

I joined recently as Tomberrian (the nickname I use in most herp forums). I only added two geckos though *sigh* I haven't looked around too much so there must be a lot of options I don't know... Starting new year, I want to keep feeding records and I'm using iHerp for it. Let's see for how...

Nephrurus ssp (knob tail geckos) are usually kept on sand.

Wise choice.

Bump! I'm sending the text and the pictures tomorrow to the ones of the magazine, so if you have any pictures of diseases that haven't been posted already it would be great to have them posted now :) If shared later than tomorrow they will appear only in the complete version of the article, that...
