Welcome! Geckos are kind of like Lays potato chips: no one can keep just one. Remember that mourning geckos are parthenogenetic, which means if you start with a few you'll ultimately have a lot more than a few. I don't find crested geckos to be that difficult. They don't really need heat, if...

I kept a single klemmeri about 10 years ago for quite a number of years. The setup looks pretty good to me. I'd say you should watch out for the following things: --with all that light and heat, will you be able to maintain a reasonable humidity? I'm not saying you can't, but offhand it does...

I use a hand sprayer that I can latch on and probably spray for about 30 seconds max. My oldest gecko, Spencer, likes to spend the days on the ground in his hide or wrapped up in some of the leaves. He spends the evenings on the glass, where he is now. I have a large enclosure with 3 female...

I live in New England with forced hot air heating so it gets pretty dry here in the winter as well. At the moment I have 3 cages of cresties, 3 cages of gargoyles and 1 leachie cage. They are all planted like yours. I mist in the evenings only and don't provide any additional heat. Everyone...

Most silkworm providers also have a reconstituted food that you can buy that's based on mulberry. They seem to do fine with this. I use silkworms only in the summer when I can get mulberry leaves from local trees. Aliza

Here's a picture of one of my gecko's first meal in at least 2 months. Notice that she's pretty hefty. Geckos sometimes go on hunger strikes for weeks or months, especially ovulating females during breeding season. As long as the gecko isn't visibly losing a lot of weight IT'S OK!

Here's another, featuring L. williamsi (electric blue day gecko) and the flower where it gets nectar in the wild: Aerangis luteoalba:

I think the most reasonable minimum size for 2 geckos is the standard 20 gallon long size, which is a little bigger than what you have (you have a 20 gallon high): 30x12x12. A 36x18x12 is always nice! Alternatively, you can build a second level for your current enclosure. I'm including a...

Gecko Time had a nice run of photo essays about the geckos and enclosures in people's house ("What goes on in my house?"). If anyone else wants to get into the action, I'm happy to run some more of these essays. All you need to do is to send me about 5-8 photos of your geckos and you geckos'...

I've been making orchids at the ceramics studio. After a little research, I found out that Phelsuma ornata gets its nectar from a particular flower that has red, as opposed to clear nectar. Here's my P. ornata getting ready to snack on the nectar of the Nesocodon mauritanus flower (except it's...
