I had an extra piece of glass laying around, so I made a black mirror and tried some shots last night. Here are some of what I got of Azazel, our male satanic leaftail. I had to take about 100 photos to get the camera and flash set good enough to get these...and they aren't exactly what I was...

A week or so ago our male U.lineatus passed away on us. For some reason, he wouldn't eat anything I gave him and eventually passed on. He was seemingly healthy otherwise...had been shedding well, would always be drinking, was active, etc etc. He may have been getting thin, but it's so hard to...

If this isn't allowed to be posted because of advertisement type reasons, then please pull the thread and let me know. I just wanted to let everyone here know that Allen is giving people a deal on his new products through his website right now, so it might be something you want to look into...

Tonight I took a look at the incubation box and saw this :D .... So, after 81 days of incubation we finally ended up with a little hatchling. I guess they typically hatch in about 45 days or so, so this was a longer than normal. This little bugger is still absolutely tiny though....still a...

Guys...I'm about at my wit's end dealing with my sikorae eggs. I need some advice because I'm getting more and more depressed about my situation. Here's the story.... Last season I got my trio of sikorae to breed and both females produced a few good clutches of eggs. I had 10 eggs from them...

Alright...so a while back I got some tiny lateralis roaches to feed to Uroplatus hatchlings if any would hatch. No luck there unfortunately, so all of the roaches continued to grow and reached adulthood. Now, they are cranking out egg cases and producing hundreds of tiny nymphs. I have quite the...

I'm not sure what the reason is behind my colonies decline, but I am easily losing 100 adult roaches per week all of a sudden. All this past season they were breeding extremely well and I was selling off the nymphs and extra adults that were overcrowding the colony. Now, I can't seem to keep...

I got a chance a couple weeks ago to take some photos of this girl. She proved to be an excellent subject for me that night. :)

I finally got around to taking some photos of our little female Bavayia that we got from Alejandro in February at Tinley Park. This a cool little gecko, but it is so wicked fast that I'm always leary of getting it out of the enclosure. She seems to do better with higher humidity though, so I...

The Sneetch was looking absolutely stellar this afternoon. I couldn't pass up getting some photos of her when she was looking so good. :cool:

I know that looking for throat color is the main way to distinguish between the two, but are there any other characteristics that would point one way or the other? Perhaps not even anything that you can just look at and see, but even bahavior or anything like that? The reason I ask is that I...

A friend of mine directed me to an ad for U. sikorae on the WIReptiles forum. I'm a member there, but I probably wouldn't have even seen the ad until it was too late. I emailed the guy at 3:00 in the morning before going to work and was the first to contact him. Last weekend we drove down to...

This may be our proudest moment in gecko keeping thus far...a beautiful chahoua hatchling! :) It's our first one, and something we had really high hopes for this season. just out of the egg, maybe only an hour old still shiny skinned before it's first shed and on New Year's Day, after it...

We got these two in June from our good friend Jim of Southwest Wisconsin Reptiles. He decided to focus more attention towards his snake breeding, and get completely out of geckos. Both of them are reticulated, but their lineage is unknown so we may get anything out of them. They won't be...

I just heard a chirping sound (lower pitch than a typical crested gecko chirp) and found that our sarasinorum pair were apparently courting. I found them touching each other, but the male was not mounting her. They weren't even side-by-side, but rather bodies and tails pointed away from each...
