Sand is definitely not a good substrate for picta. They don't live on sand in nature. Eco-earth, coco bark, cypress mulch, peat, etc are much better and more natural choices.

Default My pictus is sick, I think

Hi everyone! I'm new to this site. I'm actually a rather new owner of a pictus gecko (since August.) I think my little one is sick. He hasn't eaten for about 4-5 days. Before that, we had been feeding him wrong and he was deficient in calcium. I believe we have that issue solved (thankfully) but, now he won't eat anything at all (have tried his favorite: crickets and also mealworms) It also looks like the mealworm (that he ate last) is still inside him and balled up in his stomach near his tail. We soaked him in warm water to see if that would get him to poop (as recommended by PetSmart) but, as of now (about an hour later) he has yet to do anything. Has anyone else had this problem? Please help. I don't want him to starve!
Thanks!

They all basically have the same needs, but the leopard gecko looks better :P they don’t really smell but if you want to put them outside it depends where you live, because they’re cold-blooded and if you live in a colder climate you can have them but they need to be under a heat lamp. I don’t think they make noise but I’m no positive.

Default Thanks

Haha really? I'd say panthers r cuter. Haha but okay thank you for your advice, and yeah I'd have to keep them inside due to climate. They seem about the same in care so I guess it just comes down to price and looks. Haha do you have either of those lizards? If so, could you tell me how many panthers or leapords you can keep in a ten gallon tank? I have an empty ten gallon and don't really want to have to buy a larger one. Hope yah reply.


Thanks.

Im Looking for a Ready to breed female Panther and I was wondering on If anyone has any for sale and if so how much and how much for shipping. I would be willing to trade a full grown Bearded dragon for a female panther.

Be careful with the replies/pm's you get for your post. I posted looking for the same gecko species and got more fake ads than real. One seemed so real i almost bit until i was warned of his email address which i then looked up on google and found tons of scams the person tried. I even spoke on the phone with him!
