    Atreyu may in fact be a boy.... (funny picture warning)

    So little Atreyu was purchased at the 10-11 gram mark in early January. "She" eats like a pig and cleans her plate every night that she gets fresh CGD. She's now up to 12g and has dropped a significant bulge, almost overnight. It doesn't matter much to me what sex she ends up. I have no breeding...

    Recommended Thermostats & Heating Options

    Hey all! Calling all super herp keepers! Now that I've hit my max capacity with herps I've been thinking about saving up some extra cash to do a complete heating do over (also upgrading some tanks). Right now I'm looking for a thermostat that will allow me to plug in up to 8 heating devices and...

    Red Eyed Tree Frog Painting Progression

    Here's the piece I started today. I got the drawing transferred onto watercolor coldpress paper and laid out a primary underpainting. My plans are to do an additional layer of watercolor to bump up some color and add some more definition, and then go over top with a detail layer of acrylic...

    Anyone using heat tape?

    Ok, so I'm setting up a breeder style rack for my Leopard gecko rescues (I plan on getting more). I got one of those 3 drawer sterilite shelving units. I've been looking into heating for them. I've found myself with two options for heating on the bottom of these: Heat Rope or Heat Tape. I have...

    Should I Separate them?

    A quick update on the two new rescues: They both are eating extremely well and are very active. I am however considering separating them. There's been some food aggression between them and I've been taking extra care to make sure they both get the same amount of food. I feel like in the long...

    Leopard Gecko: More but Different Eye Problems...

    So as some of you know my boy Yoshi recently had an ulcer on his eye most likely caused by a scratch. It has since healed and has no more scratch. A new problem that has developed is that he's keeping both eyes shut all the time. He will only open them when I pull him out of the tank to look at...

    New rescues have arrived....

    Ok so my two new Leopard gecko rescues are home and settling in (one male and one female-both 3 years old). Their conditions were worrying. They were on some sort of sand/wood grind stuff with crickets still in the tank..... So I took care of that first. They are now on a small carpet & paper...

    Leopard Gecko: Getting A Varied Diet for Leopard Gecko

    Ok, so my male 2 year old Leopard gecko will only eat mealworms and superworms. When he was little he used to go for crickets but now he will only go for them every once in a while, maybe a few times a month. He just seems mostly disinterested in hunting them. He will however, take giant...

    Ok, So I've finally finished my garg's new tank! I figured I'd post some pictures of the finished product! The tank I got used for $40 and it was the most expensive part.

    Risk of Overheating...?

    So, as most of us know, I don't have my Garg yet. I'm getting him soon. I want to be as prepared as I can for this little guy. I'm fairly confident that I can keep the humidity stable but what I'm growing concerned about is the temperature. Here in Detroit we just had two really hot days that...
