    Best way to build backdrop???

    I have a few leos and I have been wanting to construct a backdrop for their viv for some time now. You know, like the stone wall look with nooks and ledges and such. I was wondering what is the best way to build something like that... best materials to use and best way to do it. Looking forward...

    Chiquita + Jeeperz=?

    Is it possible to determine what morph the babies will be if these 2 would breed? I don't know if either are dominant or recessive of any traits, they both came from pet shops. Chiquita (female) Jeeperz (male)

    White clump found???

    The other day I was cleaning out the humid hide... I found a "white clump" that seems as if it is calcified? I think it may have been soft at one point and as it got warmer in the humid hide it dried out. It almost looks as if one of the leos regurgitated this mass, but all of my leos seem to be...

    Feeding pinkies...

    I've been thinking about trying to feed my geckos pinkies. So, for the past week I have been trying to find a pet store that sells pinkies. I ran into bit of a problem; all of them do, but all of them only sell them frozen. So I just figured "hey, I'll raise them myself." Today I bought a pair...

    :'( sniff, sniff

    Well... today I made a decision, a tough one. My male, high yellow leo was biting my albino, female constantly (my female high yellow would put a whoopin' on him), leaving scabs on her face and back. For a short while I put him in another tank. Then tried to put him back in with the others, but...

    Home Improvement!

    Howdy all! I previously posted pix of my viv and recieved some input on the substrate and I took it into consideration. I removed most of the bark and added flat rocks for my leos to layout and catch some rays! 8) Take a gander!
