isn't as serious as a broken arm but those bastard little crickets love fresh meat. especially when i season his tail stump with a lime smelling antibiotic. this gecko has been
my best little buddy for 6 years now and i'd love to keep him to the end of his natrual life. is there any advice out there to help him through this tribulation? how long will it take for him to grow his tail back? should i
seperate him from the crickets, and if so how will he eat? i feed the crickets carrots which preoccupies their stomaches from indulging too much on the gecko.
please help! sincerely Fluke. ]]> fluke http://www.geckosunlimited.com/community/blogs/fluke/131-droppin-tail.html Loving my Phelsuma Grandis Day Gecko!!! Sex???? http://www.geckosunlimited.com/community/blogs/frogsnbugs/130-loving-my-phelsuma-grandis-day-gecko-sex.html Mon, 10 Nov 2008 15:19:22 GMT Hi: New on here,1st Blog! Love reading about everyone's new pets. I have a Madacascar Giant Green Day Gecko, or Phelsuma Grandis Gecko. The Person I purchased HIM??? From at a Reptile Show/Sale in Set. of this year, said it was a male and about a year old. I have been trying to figure out if it is a male or not? Looked at lots of pictures and some other Grandis Phelsuma's and it looks like a female? She had 2 and sold this one as her's, she said were both Males, as they fought and had to be separated. Every time I look I am more confused than ever? Anybody know of a REALLY good site to sex these characters??? Also now looking at Spider geckos, but I live in Canada and there sure doesn't seem to be any breeders that don't just breed, leo's or crested gecko's. Anybody know any breeders that breed unusual geckos in CANADA??? We started off with frogs, but I am slowly phasing them out, the geckos are SO much more interesting, to me anyway. Also have a Tiger Salamander, it shed last night for the first time and WOW! What a neat shed! You could see the shape of the feet in the shed. Had to take it in or it would have died, but doing fantastic now! But too cold to let go. So I guess I have a tiger Salamander too! Had never been to a Reptile Show/Sale until this year, went to two of them! Lots of fun! Glad I went to the one where I got my Phelsuma Grandis. Its So interesting! It takes food off a special tweezer I bought. I had a Praying Mantis when we lived in B.C., she was really interesting! I even got to watch her lay eggs, but they didn't hatch, and she died after Laying them. Very Sad about that. Apparently they are illegal in Alberta. So guess I won't be able to get another. I never thought A bug could be so interesting! She was great! Wish I could get another though! Sounds like everybody really enjoys their pets on here. Glad to hear! Love the Geckos, Praying mantis, tiger salamanders and Some frogs, but definately NOT a snake person or Tarantula/scorpion person! They freak me out! Sorry about that to the people that do have them and love them. Just NOT for me! Love this Site, keep up the Blogs, So interesting!:) ]]> frogsnbugs http://www.geckosunlimited.com/community/blogs/frogsnbugs/130-loving-my-phelsuma-grandis-day-gecko-sex.html P. klemmeri egg. http://www.geckosunlimited.com/community/blogs/phelsuma04/129-p-klemmeri-egg.html Sun, 09 Nov 2008 21:24:13 GMT Well my young female laid her first egg on the first of November. A single egg clutch and I am excited to be incubating it. I have it at 84 degrees to produce a male hopefully. It is a shame because I already have two geckos from this bloodline in my group so I will have to get rid of this one. A buddy of mine will probably take it in a trade for some Lygodactylus williamsi. Here is a pic. Well my young female laid her first egg on the first of November.

I swatted a wasp with a fly swatter and it landed right in terrarium with leo gecko. Before I could react (okay, I didn't rush to his aid) the gecko jumped on it and ate it. Will he suffer much or die?

I have kept, bred, and studied uroplatus geckos for over 30 years now. I find the best way to keep all uroplatus species in general is in a large screen enclousre relative to the species size, species, ect. high humidity, and lots of live plants! Your delicate uroplatus and plants will thrive outdoors during the summer months. Wild caught specimens should not be enclouse in a "Fake" artifical aquarium style cage, but in a roomy live planted enclosure .

There has been a high debates over which plants can be housed with the species Uroplatus. Some say ficus, others say ferns, and some even say air-plants. But in reality no one really knows what plants satisfy uroplatus, because most species dont inhabit plants at all, they live on trunks, trees, and low bushes. Since we cant have the exact same madagascan trees in our vivariums, we have to make on what we got.

FICUS- Ficus can be used as a hiding plant, ficus are available in tiny sizes at your local lowes, Home depot, or garden center.

ELEPHANT EAR PLANT- acolocasia is a large lefed plant originating from South America to Asia. The best way to describe this plant is that it has large heart "fan" shaped leaves. This plant provides a tropical look to your animals enclousre as well as a large platform for your animal to cling on to. This plant does have some toxic sap harmful to human skin only wen the stem is cut. When you are to cut a dead leafe or stem it is best to take out the plant and do it out of the enclosure and wait until the sap dries out then it is safe to put back in. I have hand NO problems with my geckos getting sick. Agian, I DO NOT recomend this plant.

BROMILIADS- Some species of Bromiliads found in cultivation are not native to some parts of madagascar, if you are lucky you can find some in cultivation that are. Bromiliads are my favorite plant, and probably the best plant to house youroplatus with, there not only pretty, wierd, exotic, unusual, and colorful but most importiantly they are low maintanace, small, and fuctional. Bromiliads act like water and feeding bowls for geckos, their modified leaves fill up with water and provide a fresh supply for your animals, they also trap feeder insects for your geckos to enjoy, and frovide hidding space. Bromiliads can virtually grow anywhere in your enclosure if provided with UVB and lots of misting like your animals. These plants are avialable in your local garden shops or home improvment stores, as well as online.
