Hi it's been awhile so I thought I'd update everyone on my overweight female blizzard.She weighed 83 grams about 3 weeks ago as of today she now weighs 72 grams.By cutting out mealies and feeding only roaches every 3 days she's lost 11 grams.She comes out of her cage for 15-20 min to exercise...

I have a 1 1/2 year old blizzard female that will not stop gaining weight. She hardly eats anything: 3 or 4 roaches/mealworms (alternated) every 3 days. I offer her food but she's hardly ever hungry. Sometimes she goes almost a week without eating.Now most people would worry she'd lose weight...

So as I posted on here a few months ago I rescued a gecko in Nov. who I was told had only 1 eye.Took him to the vet for an unrelated problem and found out he actually had 2.The other just had a years worth of shed on it and was sunken in from lack of use. Got it cleaned out and was given Sulfa...

Well as I posted a few days ago, my recent rescue developed a film over his good eye (he only has 1 eye or so we thought!). I took him to the vet this morning and she removed what looked to be a film caused by an infection, still not sure how that happened but we got some amazing news: where we...

So the male I rescued 2 weeks ago has gone blind. He only had 1 eye when I got him but his good eye has developed a film on it and I think he has lost his sight. He shed today and I noticed it when he opened his good eye, which he hasn't done in days. I figured he was just sensitive to the light...

I have a 40 gallon tank measuring 36x18x18 and I currently have 5 females, soon to be 6 in there as soon as Jewel puts on some weight. I have 6 hides and cork bark, grapevine and driftwood for them to climb on. So is that as many as I should have in there or am I safe to add a few more?Thanks.:)...

Ok I'm thinking about getting a beardie I've done my research on lighting,diet,behaviour,etc.My question is do they do better alone or with a buddy? Also how big of a tank is big enough,everyone says something different. I've heard a 20 gallon long, a 40 gallon, 30 gallon but what is absolute...

Need advice on pregnant and malnourished gecko- UPDATE!!!! Ok, on Friday I rescued a female and male leopard gecko. The person who had them previously was keeping both together. The male is in good health but the female is severly malnourished and has suffered a serious case of MBD.Well I took...

Here is my new gecko,I'm going to pick him up on Friday. He's at the Colorado Reptile Humane Society. His name is Rico and I just fell in love with him.:biggrin: If you read his bio you'll see he only has 1 eye thanks to an eye infection. He is just adorable and I'm so excited to get him, I've...

Ok, I currently have 5 leos and I have 3 more on the way. My question is what is the minimum tank size to keep my leos in. I have 2 of my females in a 20 gallon long, 2 more females in a 30 and my new female will go in with them and my only male in a 25. I have 2 more males, both adults, coming...

Ok, I rescued a male tangerine leo about 2 months ago. When I got him he was infested with pinworms. Before I knew this his previous owner had said he had bred with her females but the resulting eggs were infertile,she wasn't sure if it was his or her females fault. I've read that reptiles...

Leopard Gecko Color Question Hi, I recently rescued a female leo and when I got her she was kind of a pale yellow color. Well she shed yesterday(this is her 2nd shed since I've had her) and she has a lot of orange pigmentation on her now. It mainly shows on her sides. I've had trouble...

My names is Brittany Sharp and I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm fairly new to the gecko world but have learned some very valuable things in the 5 months I've owned mine. My first was a normal female I got from petsmart, her name is Iggy (they sold her as a he, and the name just stuck), she...
