    Is IR light bad for geckos?

    Hi there, I have a webcam in my gecko's hide which is great for the daytime, but when the lights turn off I can't see her, I'm wondering if I could use an IR lightbulb to light up the hide without disturbing the gecko, for those who don't know, IR light is invisible to the naked eye, but...

    Gecko squeals randomly?

    Hello! So a few months ago (4) I bought my second Leopard Gecko and they randomly squeal? It’s not chirping or barking or screaming so I have no idea why. Just random little squeals for a few seconds and when I check on them they’re just chilling so I don’t know if I should be worried?

    Two new Leopard Geckos with... weird behavior?

    Hi guys! I’m new to reptile ownership in general, but I’ve done a lot of research over the past six months and I’m pretty sure I have general care... down-ish.

    Thread: What killed this Turner gecko? (Warning: gruesome images)

    So here's what's happened. I had a pair of turner geckos for the past 3 and half years, last 3 in the same terrarium. I always fed them vitamin powdered crickets. They were both doing fine up to a few weeks ago. I noticed it was looking thinner but I figured it might have been the changing...

    Beginner, Please help me!

    How old does a crested need to be before you can put him in a big viv? Also how old does a crested need to be before you can determine the gender? Last, there are some little white bugs in my viv(no idea if they are springtails or mites), can these hurt a gecko?:main_huh::o:main_huh:
