So little Wyrm is doing really well. He's eating every night, some nights more than others - but he eats mealworms soooo much more readily than the dubia. I have been offering 4-6 properly sized roaches with supplements on supplement nights, he eats between 2 and 4 of them, but hasn't eaten...

I know humidity does not need to be super high, but right now my ambient apartment is sitting at 20-22%. In the cage I am maintaining 37% outside the moist hot hide (87*F) even with foil over the most of the lid. I have yet to see Wyrm go into the moist hide yet. I have 3 water dishes as well...

His full name is "The Lumbling Wyrm of Briarmont Hill" in reference to the famous Wyrms (or worms) of the 12th-15th centuries in Europe. Gotta say I watched him stalk a mealworm last night with very stealthy dragon-like seriousness and it was probably the curtest thing I've ever seen. Pics...

So I got my gecko today (yay ! !) pics coming soon. It is a temperature sexed male mack snow - the vendor was fairly certain that it is male, but gave me a discount since he's a bit young still and gender is not 100% guaranteed. Hes' a little younger than I would have liked, but after talking to...

So for weeks everything has been working great. Now, less than a week to go and I've hit two bumps. 1st - the smaller bump. I can't find the shade dweller UVB in stock in the US anywhere, I am not sure if the Repti-sun T8 5.0 is going to be enough or too much. 2nd - with this cold snap this...

As of next Saturday I will have my first leo! (hopefully, fingers crossed). I will be attending Repticon in Norfolk Va, as long as the weather holds for the drive. My cage has been up and running for 12 days, broke down and got a small UTH for under the hot hides, the floor temp rage is 88-70...

I will be getting the Shade Dweller lighting for my gecko and I just a have few questions: (1) Would I still give the calcium with D3, but less often. Like twice a month instead of once a week? (2) After the gecko is 18+ months would I continue using plain calcium on the days that would have...

Has anyone been to the Norfolk Virginia Repticon? It's a few hours away, but I'm wondering if I will find better quality animals here than at my local show (which is much smaller)...also it's in January - which is much less time to wait than the one in March lol.

Been searching morph market for a few days, looking at some of the morphs, and honestly the genetics are a bit confusing. (IMO ball python morphs are soooo much clearer lol). But from the pictures, it looks like no matter what a baby looks like - they all eventually loose a fair amount of the...

Other than loose / fine substrate - are there any kind of tiles / slate slabs that can't be used for floor covering? (I assume the smooth porcelain types are bad for traction). For substrate: I have a shale bed back home on the farm that I can get nice flat slabs from (also great place for...

I know that it is a while out yet (won't be getting one until at least March) - but I have a few questions for choosing one. I know how to check for most health parameters (no mites, mucous bubbles, all toes, and intact tail) but what about body condition? I keep reading tail width compared to...

I know that these guys do not *need* UVB, and it appears to negatively affect some of the paler morphs, but I was reading an article today that showed that these lizards can absorb UVB/UVA far better and in lower light than many other lizards. This suggests to me that while they are crepuscular...

Hey All. Lizard Newbie here, hoping to learn a lot and get my myriad of questions answered While I have not had any kind of gecko before, I have been doing wildlife rehab for over 14 years and have a lot of experience with wild reptile husbandry and care. I am also a veterinary tech and have...

New to this forum, but have been reading and lurking for a bit. I have no lizards of any kind at the moment (just a ball python), but my fiance and I are interested in getting a leo to add to our collection. Sorry if this is a long first post. Mainly, it appears from reading this forum that...
