    Should I fatten up my leo?

    I've had my leo, Randall, for about six months now, and I must say he's come a long way. From being extremely skittish, skinny and on a diet of mealworms. He was housed on sand, had no UTH, and no water dish or no moist hide. His heat came from overhead lamps and was nowhere near the right...

    Any other uses for calci-sand? Cacti, maybe?

    I purchased some glow in the dark calci-sand a while ago before I was educated on proper gecko husbandry... I'm wondering if I can find any other cool uses for it? Would succulents and cacti grow successfully in it, or no? Would the calcium offset the quality of growth for the plants? It would...

It is amazing to me the diversity, variety and character of many of the different species all of you own, and...

    Success!

    Here's Randall's new setup! My mom unexpectedly was on the Foster & Smith website, and she said to me, "You know I'm not a huge fan of reptiles, but he is a living creature and I don't want to see him suffer anymore. I know it's late but we need to run to the pet store to get what he needs."...

    First day with Randall!

    Alright! So, I'm going to be using my blog as a means of tracking progress and experiences with my little guy, Randall. A kind of log, if you will. I can keep track of any issues this way, which will be great. He's approximately 16 months old, small for his age. I believe due to improper care in...

    How to make a naturalistic moist hide?

    Hi! So I just have the basic tupperware moist hide lined with some paper towels for the moment, I plan on trying out some moss or natural sponge next time I go to the store. Basically, I'm really into the "naturalistic" viv setup. The other decor in my tank is naturalistic -- basic, but it...

    My new leo :)

    Thought I'd post some pictures of him. He is dehydrated and needs to gain some weight, but these were issues incurred during previous ownership that I am working to correct. Just thought he needed to make his entrance :) His name is Randall. I'm also working on socializing him more. I had to...

    Greetings from snowy, cold Wisconsin

    Hey guys! I've been lurking around here for about a week now and I finally decided to join to get some good, solid feedback for caring for my leopard gecko. I haven't yet sexed it but I've just taken to calling it "him" -- I've named him Randall :) And if I find that "he" is a "she", well a...
