    Steno. sthenodactylus markings and other color traits?

    After a few years of looking for them, and thanks to some fortunate timing between ending my lack of employment and seeing an ad for them, I finally got a hold of a breeding colony of these this week, (3.12, :yahoo: yay!) and seem to have picked up both "light" and "dark phase" varieties as part...

    ebanaui eggs!! (But they shriveled up on my quarantine cage, before I found them...)

    I picked up a pair of ebenauis at the last supershow in Pomona. I would have picked up more than one pair, as they were pretty, not too pricy, and they seemed in good shape. But I was low on money and space for cages, so I settled for just one pair. I knew I had a clean quarantine tank...

    Acrylic tanks? (R-zilla fresh air or others...)

    I've been contemplating setting up a small breeding colony of gargoyles, (No more than 5 pairs, but probably just two or three animals to start with,) and I've been looking into rack system possibilities for them and my other geckos. The rack in and of itself is not much of an issue, but it...

    Blaesodactylus sakalava warning sounds

    OK, I'm not terribly certain whether it's them or the Turner's, as the cages are next to each other, but I strongly suspect it's the sakalavas as they should have a pair of eggs to defend at the moment, while the Turner's is just a bachelor male. On any case, one of my cats (Peaches,) has...

    Fimbriatus on vines or thin branches?

    I'm just curious as to wether they would use them with any frequency. last week, my female fimbriatus got out of her cage while I was cleaning it, and decided to perch on the power cord of the light fixture. (It's one of those "dome" fixtures, with an exo-terra 2.0 cf bulb.) This made it...

    Uneven pupil contraction? (Agamura persica)

    I was home sick with the flu for the last couple of days, and in between dozing off from the medications and lazing about the house feeling miserable, I took a look at my geckos during the day. I happened to notice that my female spider gecko does not close both pupils to the same degree during...

    My new Fimbriatus

    I picked up a pair of fimbriatus (and a young male guentheri, but that is a post for another thread,) over the weekend, at the Anaheim show. From the beginning, the male looked fine, but the female looked a little iffy. (Near solid black coloration, very narrow tail and a bit less responsive...

    Agamura persica: Do they impact easily?

    I picked up a pair of spider geckos at the Anaheim show last Saturday, with just a general idea of what their basic care and housing should be like. After setting up what seemed like a reasonable terrarium set-up with lots of flat surfaces to climb and hide under (made from broken up...

    NARBC Anaheim

    Well, I made it back from yesterday's show with a much thinner wallet than I went in with. :cry: But I managed to increase my gecko collection in the process, so it's mostly good I suppose. For those curious as to what I got it was: - one young U. guentheri, - a pair of Stenodactilus...

    Male Tokay?

    So I moved my Tokay to a larger tank last night. Surprisingly, considering I do little more than feed him and keep his tank clean, he did not put up much of a fuss. No hissing, no snapping, just a half-hearted attempt at running off before I scooped him up in a critter keeper and dropped him...

    2008 National Reptile Breeders Expo in Anaheim, Calif.

    Anyone else going? I'll be there on Sat. with some friends from the local herp club, looking at (and for) some of the awesome stuff and critters there. :D

    Clay substrates for burrowers?

    I'm thinking of setting up a 20 gallon desert terrarium with stenodactylus, (or another small, desertic species,) and I was wondering what everyone's experience with clay (as opposed to sand,) substrates has been like. How hard is it to maintain, and how well do small terrestrial geckos do on it?

    Nice tokay surprise!!

    Well, it had been a rather irritating week all around until tonight. I just got home, and was feeding the critters, when I got to my tokay's tank. Now I've had this particular tokay since November, and I had never gotten around to sexing it, but I was in no particular hurry since it resides...

    S. Williamsi shed left uneaten?

    Just a quick question regarding his shedding, as I have not had this happen to any of my geckos before. He seems to have shed successfully, as he seems quite "clean and refreshed" all over, but several large pieces of shed were left at the bottom of his tank. I've had incomplete sheds, or...
