I thought this would be an interesting discussion with folks who have both adult male and female geckos and notice any striking differences between them (besides their pre-anal pores of course). Some observations of mine: Of course they can be debunked as general gecko behavior: but I am just...

swollen eye on left - and on the right is his pictures from last WEEK I take pictures of all angles to photo document and monitor my geckos. :( Today is feeding day, I go to the tank to find Rex has a swollen left eyelid. :yikes: :*( Overnight? How? I dont understand how this could happen...

Today I observed some strange behavior from Rex while I was handling him. I rubbed the side of his mouth and he opened his mouth WIDE like a Tokay Gecko. I thought it was just a fluke, so i rubbed the side of his mouth again, and sure enough managed to snap a picture :lol: What a silly boy...

Hey Guys! I wanted to create a thread for all of the senior Gecko's of this board. Please share the Leo's name, age, and a picture if you have one! If the leo has passed- please also share his/her memory here as well! :) This thread was inspired by a leopard gecko named Dink- found on youtube...

I fell in love with a Tokay at the pet store yesterday. I have never seen one in real life, only online. Can I tell you how pictures online do not do this beautiful species justice?? He was crawling around like predator feeding on large crickets. Unfortunately he was housed on coconut fiber and...

I have been using plain water to clean the tank, but I like using white vinegar to really clean/disinfect; do we know if this is safe to use in reptile tanks? I want to use it in my geckos, and turtle tank!

Just a quick question pertaining to the delicate nature of Albino eyes It is now cold in NJ I had to adjust their heat settings up and turn the red lamps back on, I am a little worried about the red lights and albino eyes.... has their been any sort of research on red lights being safe on their...

I want to get a better understanding why Rex is such a bad shedder, is this an indication of something else? if so, how can i prevent this? Xena has no shedding problems at all, maybe once in a while I have to remove it from a toe. But Rex gets it bad on each of his toes and it is hard to get...

I know next time I get a Leo, it will be from a breeder that is one on one with their reptiles. No more pet stores for me! I found this one and I am truly impressed with the Gecko's here! They look great!:biggrin: Anyway, is it okay to post links to breeders websites that you come across here...

Hey all! I bought a medium size quantity of silkworms and their food from Mulberry farms. They were great for a week- Then more then half of them died, just turned to a molded mush. I would say around 20 of them, everytime I looked 5 more would die. They seemed to have disintegrated into to...

Every time I go to a pet store I get depressed on how the reptiles are treated. I just want to adopt and save them all. It is so upsetting seeing how they are in horrible condition. I went to the pet store I actually bought both of my geckos from and there were so many unhealthy malnourished...

I ordered and waiting on a small batch of butterworms and would like to hear anyone's feedback if they have provided them for their leo - if they liked them or not or noticed any sort of bad reaction to them. I have been informed that they have caused allergic reactions with other gecko species...

When phoenix worms morph into this Is it still OK/Healthy to feed them to your gecko? I ordered 100 worms a couple weeks ago and a bunch of them have turned into cocoons. should I just trash them now? seems like a waste kind of. Same goes for the silk worms I plan to order soon. funny I used...

Very strange but all week both of my Leo's were in extremely aggressive hostile moods! I have never seen them act this way but they kept shaking their tails and lunging to bite me! :( A day or two I can understand and I just let them be, but a week! I need to give Rex (male) a bath because he...

I am wondering if I handle mine too much, At one point I was handling them daily, sometimes for an half hour to an hour- now I am learning maybe its best if I limit myself so I don't disturb them from their comfort zone! this week I told myself, OK-only once a week I will hold you! So hard to...
