    New Gecko, needs to gain weight.

    A "friend" of mine moved and could no longer care for his leopard gecko. Before receiving this gecko i was unsure what condition he would be in. This poor baby was severely neglected, he was not given water, was on the wrong substrate and who knows when he ate last. He has a very sweet and calm...

    Live crickets vs. Insect powder

    I buy my crested gecko diet from a local reptile shop. It is all natural and made in shop. It is a fortified CGD and also includes insect powder.

    Male or Female? HELP!!

    I've had Gus for close to a year now. I thought he was a boy the whole time and now I'm not so sure anymore. I feel like i can see the pores but don't see bulges. If he turns out to be a girl, I'll have to rename him so I'd like to find out ASAP. Please and thank you in advance.

    Question about hot side.

    I just put sand underneath the tile in my tank to help distribute heat better. The temp on the hot side is currently sitting at 90.4F but it continues fluctuating up and down. It goes from 90.0F up to 92.5F. should it be fluctuating so much? it literally just continues to go up and down without...

    What age?

    What age is a gecko considered an adult? I've had Gus for about 6 months and he was about a month or 2 when i got him, that makes him between 7-8 months. Do i keep feeding him everyday or drop down to 3-4 days? Also, does he look healthy? is his tail fat enough in comparison to his body?

    Questions on tile substrate

    Thinking about using tile for substrate, where do you guys buy your tile from? What kind of tile would work best? Is it expensive?

    2 story terrarium

    I do have a heat mat, 2 actually(mini and medium sized) but even with those his tank doesn't get warm enough. I only have the light on during the day. Also, I was always told to use reptile carpet by other gecko owners and also by the research I've done on my own. This is the update on the...

    2 story terrarium

    I am thinking about adding a second story to Gus' home. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas or examples that may help me in the process. He doesn't seem to move around too much and i just feel like it could be better if he had things to climb on and stuff. This is what his home looks like...

    Update!

    So, I'm not on here very often anymore and decided to give an update. My gecko's name has changed a few times. It went from Luna to Clyde and now is officially Gus. I have upgraded from a 10 gallon tank o a 25 gallon, now he has more than enough room to roam round and chase his prey. He seems...
