Here is Puff's little self satisfied face after stuffing himself full of dubia roaches :biggrin:

So. When we first brought Puff home at the beginning of September, he was crazy :yikes: Like, scared for his life, super fast, always hiding baby lizard that thinks I'm going to eat him. After we brought him home and realized this, we started "boot camp". Every time I feed, I set my hand in...

Puff has some shed skin stuck on his nose :? He seems to be able to breathe just fine, he isn't mouth breathing or in any distress. I freshened his moist hide, and added a big shallow dish of water to the warm side to try to add humidity. How long do I let this go before I intervene, and how do...

Here are a few pictures of our baby leo, Puff. We have had him just about a month. He is a great eater, normal poops, has had 2 good sheds that I have seen. It has taken him a month to finally start to come out of his shell, he is quite shy. We talk to him and leave a hand in the tank for a few...

I bought a few fake plants from our local arts/crafts store. They were significantly cheaper than online "reptile" decorations, AND on sale for half off!!! :banana: I have been playing with the idea of adding some greenery to our leo's enclosure for awhile, to provide him some more cover and...

I want to get a CHE for my little guy, I think ambient temps are a bit low for him. Ground temps are great and its nice and cozy in his warm hide but I think a bit too cool elsewhere..... Question 1: what wattage am I looking for? I don't want to roast him but it's an 18" tall glass aquarium...

Ok so I brought home our new baby leo 5 days ago. He's probably almost 2 months old? Has been doing great as far as I can tell: eating like a piggy, pooping fine, etc. Just wondering when he will shed and how frequently? I'm assuming more often when young? Will I even notice it happened? Also...

Genetics unknown. Just wondering about whether this is a normal morph or....? Input appreciated!

Ok I am in love already ♡♡ not sure if M/F yet, only about 6 weeks old.

Soooo I am confused. :shock: I just got the 11"x17" Ultratherm heat mat for my gecko tank and I have a few questions.... I have read about the need to raise the tank a little bit so it's not squishing the cord and airflow can move around under the heat mat and prevent it from overheating and...

OK so I have this really cool old wooden whiskey barrel but it's in miniature... I really want to modify it and make it into a hide. I was thinking to just cut away the bottom about 2/3 down so it has a flat resting surface, and then some type of entrance into it maybe through the top or the...

Hello all! My name is Alexandra, and I have never owned a reptile before. I was told leopard geckos are great for beginners. This is going to be strictly a pet (no breeding) for me and my 3 year old daughter, but I will be the main caretaker and responsible for everything. I am in the planning...
