    Dropped Tails- Gehyra

    Hullo... does anybody know if Gehyra vorax or Gehyra marginata / halmahera geckos / giant pacific geckos can drop their tails? I know they can slough their skin, but I can't find any definitive answer online about whether they drop their tails.

    What kind of invertebrate can I get?

    Hi all, So I bought a geometric terrarium for someone, but due to a change in circumstances I'm keeping it. Originally I was going to put succulents in it, but then I though, I wonder if I could make this up nice and natural and keep some inverts? It's 20*20*17cm and as such am I correct in...

    Expanding Foam and Background Questions

    Hi all, I want to make some fake rocks to stick to the back of my Bioactive tanks. As all the rest of the décor is already in, rather than emptying it all out and doing a background the traditional way, I'd like to create the individual rocks and stick them to the back at my own leisure. So...

    Hygrometer / Thermometer help

    Hi all, I have a habistat thermostat and a cheapy hygrometer that also shows the temperature. Recently I noticed the temp was out by a good 5 degrees or so, and naturally I am more inclined to believe the habistat on it's measurement. So this makes me question whether the measurement of the...

    Rescued?

    What do you consider as a rescue? Just wondering, I see it a lot in the herp community. Have you ever rescued a reptile? Preferably would like to hear some stories with happy outcomes! I consider that I rescued mine, they were not neglected or ill treated, but they would have been euthanised...

    New Gecko Owner

    Hi all! Thought I'd better introduce myself, I’ve been lurking and posting a little here and there for a while. I have pictures of my animals but I’ll add them later when I am home from work. So around a year ago I got a carolina corn snake from a pet store, I have always adored snakes and I...

    Posting noob

    Hi guys, so I can post new threads just fine, but when I try to reply to threads, my reply box is greyed out? I'm probably just being stupid, but how do I get past this? :roll:

    Best way to tame?

    Hi all! So I have 3 giant pacific geckos/vorax geckos. Two are adults and one is a juvenile. They are all kept in separate bioactive vivs and are doing really well. Now, I've been working on getting the adults to be okay with me, and they will now tolerate the presence of my hand, and one will...
