In one of my breeding groups I had a unique situation occur. My male passed away from a prolapsed hemipene, but did pass on his genetics, and I got two healthy eggs. The following month, my female laid two eggs, but one one made it (the other died a few days later). This month, my female has...

I had my first two geckos of the season hatch yesterday and today and I'm expecting 4 more hopefully this week! Teah was hatched yesterday and I wish I had better pics of him/her because he/she has amazing portholes and patterning already! This little one just sat resting as soon as it got its...

So I have a breeding group (1.3) that have been together for a while now, and the male is a super breeder. Two of the females laid eggs in the same couple of days, in the plantation soil in their tank. Neither of them used their lay boxes, just the caves on the ground. All four of the eggs...

OMG I'm so upset! Last night the male in one of my breeding groups, Goliath, tried to get it on with the female he is in with. He was unsuccessful the night before, and this time they didn't stay together very long. Afterwards he had his hemipene still out, but I didn't think anything of it...

So I got 3 new geckos that were supposed to be 2 females and a male, but they turned out to be all males. The poor kid couldn't figure out why they weren't having babies! LOL! With these came a whole ton of "supplies" and a weird thing called Bites: Has anyone used these or heard of...

Of course, this is an issue from a pet store bought gecko. Learned my lesson. NEVER buy animals from a pet store. Moving on. When I got her from the store her tail looked a little black-ish. I asked what they thought it was, and they said they thought it was just the colouring, and it...

So, I was perusing kijiji and stumbled on an ad for 5 cresties for $100. I figured even with gas and the toll road costs, it would still work out to about $25-30 per gecko. I jumped on that! Now, the geckos seemed to be in fairly good condition, apart from missing tails. 3 males and 2...

Hi Everyone! I'm looking into adding 3 females to my groups of breeders, and acquiring another male for the groups in a couple of months. I was just wondering if these are good morphs to be adding, or if they're quite common "nothing really special" in terms of breed-ability. Also, do you...

This topic seems to come up a lot, so I have decided to make it the subject of my first ever blog post! Yay! Firstly, I'm Laura, and I co-run Steel Reptiles with my husband. We are part small turtle/crested gecko breeders, part small reptile rescue. Nice to meet you! Now moving on to the...

I was asked a while ago to post photos... So here are SunStorm (left) and SnowStorm (right): and some more of SunStorm: They're just babies at 6.8 and 5.5 grams. I may post my others as I get the chance and get some nice photos. They like to hop on my iPhone just as I'm taking the...

I adopted a new adult male crested gecko (and oh boy is he sweet!) but he was housed in completely the wrong set up! He was in an 18x18x24 tall Exo Terra enclosure, with what I think is Coco Bark (like the dark wood chips that people use in their gardens) as a substrate. They then had one very...

Hi There! I'm Laura, and I've just acquired some geckos that will start as part of my breeding project this upcoming season and next season! I'm super excited to start my Crested Gecko breeding project. I haven't yet decided if I will sell any babies I get, or keep them, or both! We'll have...
