Hey guys! :D I have a few questions about using tile and thermostats for UTHs. I got into keeping leopard geckos a little over a year ago. I got my first one in March 2014 and had three by August. I just fell in love with them. I have obviously been learning about the proper care for them as I...

Hey guys, I am trying plastic tupperware for my moist hides. I use a heat lamp and a UTH to keep my temps right. I put the containers on the warm side but I tried not to put it directly under the lamp. Is it safe to have the plastic under the lamp like that? I just am scared it will melt or...

Hey guys! So I have a question about my crested's (Flea) recent behavior. I have had him since he was a baby and he is about 7 months old now. I fell in love with him because he was always so calm. He would just sit on my hand when I took him out and chill on his little plant while I cleaned his...

Hey everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jessica. I made a profile here last year but like a bum... forgot my password. :coverlaugh: So now I am trying again haha. I started keeping reptiles last year when I got a job at a chain pet store (which was actually very well kept) I...

Hey guys, so my gecko Pauly has been really weird about eating lately. He is about 7 months old and he has always been a good eater. The last time I weighed him (in the fall) he was 93g. I was told he was possibly a giant? So, over the winter my room has been pretty cool at about 68 degrees...

I just got a new eyelash crested gecko. I can not tell if he's eating his repashy powder mix. I haven't seen any droppings but he is small so I might just not see them. I've had him for about a week. I was told by the woman I bought him from that he doesn't eat crickets but I want him to have a...

Hey is a 10 gallon okay to start a baby crested in? I know tall is better than wide but it should be fine for now right? Also any advice on food, substrate, etc would be good. I'm a newbie to cresteds :)

My babies My babies Reid and Khione. Proud new reptile fanatic! :biggrin:

Hey I posted about my gecko yesterday. I still think he is just bloated from too much food. However last night when he went to the bathroom it was just the urates not feces. This is worrying me. He pooped the night before but I'm thinking he is blocked up now. I am soaking him in a warm bath...

Hey guys. My 5 month old male Leo seems to be pretty bloated. I feed meal worms and crickets and he eats like a pig and has been growing rapidly. I do not think he is impacted. He is pooping and acting okay but he hasn't eaten in two days. I am thinking he probably just ate too much and is...

Hey guys I am new to this so I am not sure how to really go about asking questions on here. I have a male leopard gecko who is about 5 months old. Recently he has been stuffing his face and growing rapidly lol The last two days he hasn't eaten and his stomach looks bloated. He isn't acting...
