This year has really taken off for my leops and I! I thought I might share a video that I took of one of my newest family members, and some photos as well. YouTube - TR1_hatching.mpg the two above are from my tangerine carrot tail female and huge (104grams) tremper albino male. the 2nd one is...

So it has been many months since I posted about large die offs in my dubia colony. I made a lot of changes and my colony is booming! I have had a few healthy adult roaches die off recently but I attribute this to the super cold weather. My colony, however, seems to have become infested with what...

I have a female named Kai who I got on 07/10/08. She was hatched on 01/05/07 and was bred by celebritygeckos . She is a BIG girl, weighting in at 91g and about 10inches long, but she is not a giant. she was sold to me as a proven breeder and 8 or so months after I got her, I put her in with one...

Every time i log on it is telling me its been a while since my last post, so I decided I should share some progress photos of my Daytona babies :biggrin: This was Apricot on 09/03/09 This is Apricot on 11/13/09 This was Candy Corn on 09/03/09 and on 11/13/09 This was Caprica on 09/03/09...

So I know Im not the only one to have this issue. My cricket and roach containers are infested with flys. They are not fruit flys and not house flys but those really super agrivating, hard to kill flys. I think they came home with me from work or maybe they were left overs from the ones that had...

Ok so I was given a produing colony in a trade a month or so ago and now I'm having issues. The bedding in the bin had been cocco fibers and it was infested with flys so I removed it. The bin is set up as follow: its s 32gal plastic bin, no substrate, sevearl egg crates set in verticaly so the...

This past weekend was the Daytona breeders expo and it has so far been the largest show that I have gone to. Lets just say I should have gone with Less money lol. In the end I left with 7 leopard geckos, a fat tail gecko, a really nice glass tank with sliding front doors that was a total steal...

Alright I have been breeding my own crickets for a sohrt time and am now on to my 2nd generation of crickets but Im having 1 major problem. My crickets have a high mortality rate as babies. This is my set up: For eggs: I left a tub in my gecko rack empty of geckos and put the egg box from the...

Ok I can tell on the adults but on my babies that are growing up its harder for me to tell if they are girls or boys. These were incubated at between 81 and 82F. Both these were clutch mates and are about 28grams each. Now they didn't want to stay still and were moving like crazy when I took...

I have 5 eggs in the incubator right now, all from the same female and male and each set of eggs are separated in deli cups by when they were laid. 2 eggs that were laid on 04/24/09 have become deflated. The aggravating thing is that none of the other eggs are suffering from this problem and...

On Tuesday I was cleaning out the baby gecko rack and everything went fine but when I got to the last tub with Tempest in it, I went to move her and she squirmed a bit more then she normly would and I was afraid I would drop her and so I quicly put her into the clean tub I had sitting out for...

I got this girl at a show about a month or so ago and she was sold to me as a tangerine with a broken stripe. Here is my question, based on the photo of her eye is she an albino? I compaired her eye to a tangerine adult female I have as well as the male I got from the same breeder and then to my...

The other day I looked in on my cricket eggs and sure enough, just when I was about to give up hope and think I messed it up I found baby crickets jumping around! Thanks guys for helping me out, I thought I would share some photos of them and the eggs I have still waiting to hatch (I have about...

I have been looking at a lot of leo photos lately and realized that there is a large number of male leos that have tail kinks, my own adult male tremper albino included. But no one seems to state if this is a birth defect or something that happens when the gecko is growing up. I'm concerned...

Over the weekend i got my first reptile rack, its by reptile basics(awsome people btw!). Its really wonderful and Iwas going tobuy hides from them for the racks but had my hands rather full so I didn't. So now Im looking at cheap ways to create or buy hides. Anyone have any ideas? one of the...
