Just got my microclimate evo set up, and I'm doing a temperature test run using the habistat radiator. First test, the thermostat probe was on the floor under the heater, set to 32°C. The floor held steady there, but the low flat hide (front of pic, it was located under the hammock at this...

It's been a bit of a therapeutic/healing process, putting together this new tank (which I would have been doing for my girl had she come home with me from the vet) but three months later here it is. I've changed a couple husbandry things from the basic minimum (uth only) to something I hope will...

I'm slowly putting together a new setup for a leopard gecko (sticking to my original plan of getting a young male from a breeder i've been talking to) i've got a 90x45x30 exo-terra, and I'm looking at getting a habistat reptile radiator to use as the primary heat source, as from the research...

Going by the potential ovulating route, does this patch look like an egg? It doesnt really seem much to me but someone with more experience might think otherwise. Jts a crap photo but holding a lizard up with one hand and photographing with the other is hard

So here I am again lmao, with my problem child. She was recently seen by the vet and declared parasite free but in the last week she's started going off her food. She'll take maybe one or two crickets whereas before she had 6 a day easily. She has to be coaxed into eating them too, before she...

She roars. I've been trying to get a photo of her yawning for months lmao

In the last week, whether due to warmer weather or her finally being used to me, Azula's shown interest in coming out of her tank. The video was her first excursion, and since then she's learned to use the right side of the door and at 8:30 every night she comes up the door and demands to be let...

It's not even proper summer yet but since my room is north facing + upstairs it gets hot during the day. I have both windows wide open for air flow and have started turning off the UV light through the hottest part of the day (on from 6am-10am, off from 10am-4pm and back on from 4pm-8pm) because...

Update! She's parasite free!!! :biggrin: Had an x-ray done and the vet said it looks like she had either a couple of small breaks or born with a kinked tail, either way he said it's an old injury. So it looks like she's in perfect health now, and the last case of irregular poop was just her...

Looking through photos of Azula and I can't believe how much she's grown in only a month!! The first photo was the first month I got her, after her first shed on the 18th August. She shed again a couple weeks later. And here she is after shedding again on the 21st September. bonus what i...

Some of you might've seen me in other threads asking about temps, because as of recently my thermostat, digital thermometer and infrared thermometer have been reading all different, and I'm concerned about the frequency of her poops. She used to poop maybe once a day, but since my temps went a...

Okay, I have a reptile one dual thermometer, and a reptile one thermostat. the warm ground (tile) side according to the thermostat reads between 31-33 (sometimes 34). the dual thermometer reads 28-32.5 and i bought an infrared thermometer which reads between 29-35 in different spots on the warm...

I've been keeping a close watch on Azula's eyes, as for a few weeks now I've noticed one appears to stick out a little further than the other. The colour is also slightly darker (no white ring around the pupil like the other eye, pic below - your left, her right) the clear part (cornea?) of...

When I first got my leopard gecko, she would be pretty active at night, and eat food from the dish i put in there, but now, about a month on, she doesn't move around all that much (granted i don't see her at night) and she doesn't eat from the bowl, but will come out and look expectantly at me...

She shed recently and looks bright and sunny! She's losing those baby stripes now
