    PROGRESS REPORT After just over three months Howie has gone from a sickly 37g to a healthy 71g. He's got a healthy appetite, eats a wide variety of crickets and worms, sheds effortlessly and seems strong and happy. So grateful for all the GU advice. :)

    Alternative Method for Giving Vitamins / Calcium w D3

    I've had Howie for about 2 months now and he has settled in well and has put on 10g. His colours are bright and his eyes are clear. His legs are strong and he carries himself nice and tall when moving about. Howie is a young adult male. I'm guessing approx a year old as he is still shedding...

    Che wattage question: Continued

    This is my winter solution. We'll see if it works. I didn't want to cover too much more of the tank so I could keep a little circulation.

    Questions: Worms, Crickets & Dusting

    I'm lucky enough to have a mulberry tree in my back yard. I'll look into making up some silkworm food in the spring. I dust with reptivite and repti-calcium both with d3. Just this morning Howie made a liar out of me and went into his moist hide. Happy about that. Also, his colours seemed...

    Gecko Obsessed with Getting Out

    I've had Howie for about a month and he seems to be settled in nicely. To say he's curious and has really come to enjoy being handled would be an understatement. I never pick him up.. he crawls up my arm on his own. It's getting to the point that he'll pass up a butterworm just to crawl up my...

    Questions: Worms, Crickets & Dusting

    In an effort to provide Howie with a large variety of food and save a few bucks, I've purchased a bunch of feeders from a supplier instead of the local pet sore. Not knowing exactingly how much he would each over a long period of time, I have estimated way too much. Plus in an effort to be...

    New Gecko Owner - First Shed Questions

    I've only had Howie [Approx 1 year old] one week but from what I can tell so far is he's quite mellow, OK with being handled [We've only taken him out to weigh him so far.], and not too skiddish. The last couple of days his colour has grown increasingly dusty and he has become quite skiddish...

    Che wattage?

    I have a 30" long x 12 x 12 tank, with a UTH on the hot side and I'm looking to bolster the temp a little with a CHE with a thermostat. Any suggestions on the Wattage? I'm achieving 87-88 right now so I don't need much. Would a 60W be sufficient or should I go with a 100W? Also, my UTH is...

    New Leo Owner

    Hi all! Just wanted to say hi and that for all of the information I've gotten already from this forum. Picked up a new Leopard Gecko a couple days ago. He was supposed to come with a complete set up but it was pretty lacking to say the least. So we've spent the whole weekend trying our best...
