Introducing Paolo, he's a 10 month old tremper supersnow I got on the weekend. Was so happy when I saw him, been after one for a while :biggrin:

I'd appreciate some advice please. The change in attitude occurred very suddenly, her appetite has always been brilliant and she would eat anything I gave her. I checked her underside a couple of days ago to check, and it appears she is either ovulating or carrying an infertile egg (has not been...

Hi everyone, I'm a bit worried about one of my geckos. She is very small for her age, 35g tonight at 9 months old. She has gained weight very slowly since I had her, 4 grams overall since last September. She doesn't look 'skinny', but is considerably smaller than her sister (same age, not...

Out of interest, what insects do you feed your geckos and how often? What are your feeding routines? And how often do you feed juveniles? I currently feed my adults hoppers on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Multivits and D3 dusting on Sundays and plain calcium on one/both other feeds. I swap...

Hello everyone, I'm really excited as my new baby is being delivered by courier tomorrow :yahoo: She's a 3 month old giant super snow, het RAPTOR and 66% het blizzard. I've been looking forward to a super snow for a while, they make me think of the 'dalmation' of the leopard gecko world :)...

Hi everyone, what is this species please? The lady told me he was a leopard gecko, which he clearly isn't, and was keeping him with two (actual) leopard geckos. I know I've seen them before but I can't put my finger on it....I'm hoping the poor little guy has simliar care requirements...Ideas...

Hello Breeders :) I myself am not a breeder as of yet, but I'm doing research and constantly learning for if (when) I start to. I have a giant, poss supergiant, super snow 100% het raptor, 66% het blizzard arriving next week. What are your opinions on what male I should get to breed her to...

I'm a little worried about one of my geckos, Eric. She's always been a bit podgy, she was like this when I got her from her previous owner. I don't believe I overfeed her, I feed 2 - 3 times a week with the correct supplements, and she normally eats about 6-7 crickets/ locusts each time. I...

Hi, When I cleaned out my leopard geckos last night I noticed what I think are mites on the paper towel substrate in one of the vivariums. I checked both geckos who inhabit this viv, and could see no evidence of mites on their skin. I removed everything and disinfected, and then replaced with...

Hi Everyone, I've just been offered some free giant madagascan hissing ****roaches (G.portentosa) from someone's colony to start my own. However, they would be kept in the same room as my leos and soon to be royal python, and I was thinking of keeping them in an exo terra faunarium which has a...

Hi guys, I haven't added some for a while and thought I would :) two of my girls were highly co operative for a little explore and photo shoot today, another one not quite so happy to sit still ;-) One of them has shocking lighting issues but I thought it showed up the eye well.. I was quite...

Hi Everyone :) I'm researching before deciding whether to get an AFT (or a pair of females), and have two main questions. Firstly, I'd like advice on what to use for their substrate. I've read that coco fibre is good for this, but I'd like to know does this not provide the problem of...

Hi guys, *Apologies to administrators if this is in the wrong place/has already been asked, feel free to move it if so :) * I currently have a thermostat for each of my vivariums. I'm about to invest in a vivexotic stack, 3 vivariums high, one of which will be an upgrade for my two adults and...

Hi Everyone, Sorry to post about feeding mealworms to leos but I've looked through the info and haven't found an answer to my particular question. Firstly, I know of the impaction risk associated with mealworms, and was wondering if this is less dangerous with mini mealworms...? I've heard a...

Hi guys, last week I posted about how one of my juvies had a cut on her head, I think caused by the other one scrabbling over her, and decided it was time to upgrade their tank to adult size. So it arrived on Wednesday, and they've happily explored and settled in. They love the new space and...

Hi, I've not posted in here before as I only have leopard geckos at the moment, however, I'm very interested in getting a day gecko. I've never kept one before and clearly am aware they have more demanding requirements than E. macularius, but I feel I am up to the challenge :) So my question...

For about the last week my two adults have been mostly in their cool hide rather than their warm ones, although the temperature hasn't been too hot, if anything it's slightly on the cool side. Daytime temp is 27c and nighttime is around 23 to 24c. Before this they've always seemed to prefer...

Hi everyone, I was cleaning out my juvies this morning and discovered one has a small cut on her head. I think it may be cricket inflicted - I leave the crickets in overnight with them and they're usually all eaten by the morning, the geckos won't eat them all with me watching. The skin has...

I checked my geckos as normal this morning, and my SHTCT has shed overnight so I got her out to check she didn't have any shed left. I noticed she has what looks like a 'v' shape bruise or a scar on the back of her neck which wasn't there yesterday. I don't think it can actually be a scar as...

I picked up my new little ones on the weekend and thought it was time for some photo sharing :) they're 4 month old blizzards, and both looking to be female. I'm already very fond of them :)
