It's been a while since I was here. Thought I'd share a new picture of my pretty girl.

Here she is. She is starting to fade for a shed so her colors are a little ashy. Amsdadtodd, I am so glad that we can share our experiences, it helps to not feel alone in our struggles. This site has certainly helped me as I have wrestled with my needy gecko's problems. I am so thankful for GU!

Did anyone see the ABC News article in yesterday's news about salmonella outbreak in 16 States linked to pet leopard geckos? I guess there was a large outbreak of Salmonella and when they got to looking at the background of all of the cases they found a common link that the people had pet...

Has anyone had trouble with feeding Dubia's. They get very still and kinda hunker down to where my Leo has trouble getting hold of them. She has some feeding difficulty anyway with strikes and misses. I believe she may have some vision problems. Any suggestions. I have tried hand feeding. She...

I am so excited! Today I took advantage of the dollar a gallon sale at Petco. So here is my new set up for Vastra! She has been out checking everything out. Pretty cool! :lol:

Looking around the internet today I found a nice care sheet. Although I may not completely agree with 100%, I found it to be interesting and well put together. You may enjoy it too. Adirondack Geckos | Care Sheets

All the local pet stores here have different brands of Calcium and Vitamins than were recommended by this site. I had purchased the products made by Rep Cal and I guess they are not ideal so I was looking all over the place to purchase some Zoo Med Reptivite without d3 and Repti Calcium with D3...
