    Leo ate paper towel during shed

    So Theseus pooped again last night and it looked pretty normal! I'm so happy :cheer: He is also still behaving normally, alert, and eating well. I've still been giving him the carnivore care because the silkworms have not arrived yet (I need to see what that is all about:-x). It's hard and takes...

    Leo ate paper towel during shed

    He pooped!! Never have I been so happy to see poop!:yahoo: It is slightly green in color, but it doesn't seem to have any paper towel in it... No blood so that's good. The urate is also yellow. The coloration is probably due to his diet and the amount of stress he's experienced this past week...

    Leo ate paper towel during shed

    So I've had a pretty rough day. I seem to have things under control now, but I wanted to post this in case it happened to someone else. Before I went to bed last night, I noticed my leopard gecko, Theseus, beginning his shed. I misted his moist hide and then went to bed. At around 3 am, I woke...

    Heat Mat - Wooden VIV

    I used their ideas as well and adapted them to my own viv. It's working very well for me. I have a heat cable sandwiched between two tiles and ventilated the space between the two tiles using 4 rubber feet I had left over from another UTH. I elevated the tiles using 4 glass cups and put...

    Feeding MRP to insects as a chow?

    So I'm always looking for new and convenient ways to provide variety to my insects' diet to benefit my leopard gecko. I regularly use Bug Burger and Dinofuel Raptor Edition as chows and occasionally I use Cricket Crack as a gutload. I also throw in veggies like dandelion greens, turnip greens...

    UVB and D3 Supplementation question

    The fixture is secured to the ceiling of the enclosure. There are two open slots with mesh that hold a CHE, which is not in use right now, and an incandescent lamp that I used to establish a photoperiod before I began using the UVB bulb. I had to take the pictures right now so their pretty bad...

    UVB and D3 Supplementation question

    About a month ago I started using an Exo terra 2.0 UVB 15 watt (18") fluorescent tube on the warm end of my enclosure about 14" above the warm elevated tile. There is also another tile on top of his warm moist hide with some coverage from a broad leaved fake plant that allows him to get within...

    Your favorite moist hideouts? POST THEM HERE!

    I'm also a fan of the cheap and practical ziploc containers. They are easy to keep clean, which is important to me. The only downside is the lack of security due to the clear sides. I fixed it by placing it against a back corner, placing a tile on top of it, and adding a piece of wood decor that...

    MS2 Premium Gutload: A Good Quality Gutload?

    I've been looking around GU, but have not found any mention of this product. I use this to gutload my leopard gecko's crickets. A family in Alaska puts it together themselves with organic and high quality human grade ingredients. It is used by many breeders and has 5 star ratings all over the...

    Is this enclosure too large for a Super Giant?

    I have a 12 month old Super Giant leopard gecko that is about 12 inches long. He is currently housed in a 40 gallon breeder aquarium that I know he has outgrown. It's also been a pain for me to control the air temps on the cool side and keep the humidity above 40% for longer than an hour even...
