Thank you for this--super helpful. I am hopeful he would come w his set up, which my friend says is definitely larger than your given min. She refers to it as a "he" so hopefully i dont have the egg issue! We have 4 cats so i dont think there will be unmonitored free roaming in the cards, but we...

Hi all, I have owned leos and cresteds for years, and we also have an outdoor California Desert Tortoise. A pet sitter friend of mine hit me up today because one of her clients is looking to rehome their 2yr old bearded dragon. The current owner says they "just never connected", and my friend...

No--totally unrelated! The female came from a breeder I used to know locally. The male came from a Petco (I know..but he was a gorgeous morph and I wanted to make sure he got into good hands). There would be no genetic ties whatsoever.

Absolutely. If I were to ever successfully hatch a set of eggs I do have other terrariums available. Unless the deformities were major life impacting ones, I would be glad to care for them. 2 of my other leos were given to me by the breeder of the 17yr old because they were "flawed" with...

Read some other threads about older geckos still producing eggs but still wanted to get insight into likelihood in my specific situation. I have a 17yr old female who I have raised from a few days old, very chubby and robust. I also have a very healthy 13yr old who I always thought was female...

Hi All, I have three sister leos, 10 yrs old, who have lived together their whole lives. Long 55 gallon tank, 5 hides of different sorts and everyone seems to have their favorite. No changes to their decor or living conditions lately. All are great eaters and in otherwise good health to my...

About 6 months ago I got a pair of mourning gecko hatchlings. 1 is doing very well and the other...well, she managed to zip past me and escape. I had set out water and food in tupperware containers in the room for about a week, but when she didn't come to the 'traps" I figured i'd never see her...

Hi all, Los Angeles is experiencing a TON of rain lately and there's a power outage in my home neighborhood right now (typing this from work, where I still have power). DWP is estimating that my power will not be back until 6am tomorrow, if that. All my UTHs and ceramic heat emitters are...

Forgive the odd topic, but I wanted to post an experience I had in hopes maybe someone here has had a similar experience or could offer some advice. I am concerned about the safety of my reptiles and am trying to form the best defense. We bought a house and have been here in the new...

I found a 50 gallon (I think) aquarium and a nice tank stand by the curb one day and took it home to clean it up. It looks great now and I'm planning to make a custom expanding foam background for it so my 3 oldest leos can make use of the vertical tank space. The thing I did not find left with...

That protrusion from the upper left eye is what I'm talking about. Its sort of a bubble extending off the main eyeball and is the same black as that aspirated eye. Getting a pic from the front is the best I can do to show it. It's just odd to me that the aspirated eye would be fine (though...

Buddah, my 6yr old female, had a fine needle aspiration done on her right eye last yr. It was bulging and the vet determined that her tear duct was closed up, causing fluid build up over time. The vet recommended doing the aspiration to bring the eye back down to normal size, since operating...

A tutorial website i frequent is doing a pets feature next month and I thought proper syringe feeding for geckos might be a helpful thing to demonstrate. I've had great success with my own method, but my geckos are very used to handling and pretty cooperative. Does anyone have any tips for...

Got two new babies at the reptile expo in Pomona, CA last weekend. Both are eating REALLY well and they're already taming down a bit. Both are female, allegedly. I'm guessing this breeder was hatching by temp since everything was labeled...though I've been surprised before. The black and...

One of my leos has pinworms so I'll be giving everyone in the tank de-worming meds starting tomorrow. The vet suggested cleaning the tank tomorrow, and again on the 3rd (last) day of meds. I've been reading that a diluted bleach solution is a good way to clean the tank itself, to get rid off...

My 7.5 yr old leo went to the vet last week after 2 months of steady weight loss despite eating. She would eat, but only 1-2 bugs per feeding whereas her sibling tank mates can easily put away 5-8. The vet found no obvious signs of disease and did not feel there was a blockage (no dark spots...
