So I found an egg from my sikorae's, I previously got some pietchmanni eggs but they never hatched. They never molded, so I've held onto them just in case. Now that I have the sikorae egg I can see such a difference! It has quite a bit of pink to it. So here's my questions. -What size of...

Finally got around to posting pics of my personal brand of 'crack':biggrin: Here's a few of my guys, some all slimey from hatching, others nice and dark, and just about everything in between! Hope you like them! P.S. Sorry, I would have posted the pics instead of attachments, but my comp- or my...

Does anyone know where to find land snails here in Canada? Have you ever tried feeding them to uroplatus? Right now I have pietchmanni, but I would like to add more variety to their diet. So far I can only find canned deshelled snails, which I havent (yet!) seen them eat. Good idea? Bad? If...

I'm planning on putting a pietchmanni in here, tomorrow I'm picking up some more corkbark to put along the back wall. Its a 19x19x24 inch terrarium, with a screen door and top.The back is covered with an exoterra background, the sides with aquarium backing. You cant see it in the pics but I have...

Would an Exoterra glass terrarium provide enough ventilation for a pietchmanni? Since they have the vents around the bottom as well as the screen top is there going to be enough ventilation or should I just go with a screen terrarium? Also, what is the best way to cover the sides of a screen...

After hemming and hawing for quite a while I've decided to go with a pietchmanni, I've been looking at an 18x18x24 cage that has 2 mesh sides and top,for ventilation, the rest is made of glass which I want for climbing/humidity. I've gotten a bit of conflicting info on whether it should be...

So since I actually have my camera working again, I figured I'd flood all the forums with some pics.:D This is one of my male quad's, out of phelsuma I have these are definitely my favorite species.( I dont have my dream list ones yet!) this guy is pretty friendly, another one who I've actually...

Finally got some shots of a few of my cresties while they were hatching, they're slimy but still cute! One of them hatched out in a very bad mood, he was squeeking and biting me the whole time I was moving him into his new enclosure. Now that he's settled in he's fine and lets me handle him, but...

Here's my williamsii having some fun. Crappy photo, but you can still see the little guy smiling ear to ear! My pair seems to be extremely amorous, needless to say they cant keep their 'feet' off each other!:lol:Also threw a belly pic just ....because. I like it, there's no real purpose to it!

I dont yet have any uro's, but am hoping to get some in the future so I'm trying to make sure I'm prepared when I do get them! Right now I mainly have phelsuma and crested's, so I'm used to the 1 male per tank rule. Are they different? Does it depend on the species? Or is more males always...

I'm doing a presentation for my local herp club, I'm trying to bring some of them over to the dark side so others will be more interested in them too. Anyway, I have all your general facts, diet, housing, behaviour, breeding, but I'm looking for something to spice it up a bit, just make it a bit...

Just curious what's the oldest phelsuma you have ever kept, or heard of. I've only been keeping them for about 4 or 5 years, so I'm hoping I have some long lives ahead of me!:biggrin:

Help!!! Hello, I just got a pair of gold dusts yesterday and noticed quite a few mites on one of them. So far I've given her a 'bath' and dabbed as many as I could with vaseline, but she also has some(at least 6) in her ears. I've called some pet stores here to see if they have some kind of...

Hello, I've heard that catching 'field plankton', (sweeping net through long grass to catch bugs) is a good way to feed some of the larger species of phelsuma, since it gives them more variety in their diet and the insects are already gutloaded. Does anyone do this? Does it seem to make them...

Hello! Well I seem to have gotten myself a pair of L. williamsii that are absolutely in lust with each other! I've only had them a little over 2 months and the female has already laid 3 clutches of 2 eggs each. Since I'm not sure if she's been bred already this year,(cant find out either) I...
