I read that a sign of this ( ^ ) is stool smeared around vent area? My bearded dragon has a bit of that goin on and wasn't sure if that or he just sat in it (by time I get home to clean it every once in awhile it'll be smeared on the substrate a bit). He shows none of the other signs of the...

I've been wanting to make a naturalistic tank for my leo seeing how she's way over due for a larger tank. I've ran into a wall for a substrate. I'm currently using slate tile but am looking for something maybe a bit more natural. Any suggestions? Please no sand or excavator clay. I'd...

Okay, so I've always been fascinated by the looks of planted vivs and now that I've got a bit more experience with reptiles, i'd like to attempt my own. I've done quite a bit of research and the only thing I don't quite understand is how you drain the water after it's gone through the hydro...

Hi there, I was considering getting a 55 gal. from the famed $1 per gallon sale and getting a pair of tokays... but then decided on one instead of a pair and have a few housing questions. Can 1 adult tokay thrive in a 20 gal. long converted to tall? Do they do well in planted vivs? If so what...

I noticed that my 3 year old leopard gecko had a patch on her snout with no skin on it. Upon further inspection i noticed there was a small scab on it. Could it have just broken open while she was shedding or is there another issue? I'm using a slate tile substrate and the temps are 88-90 on...

Now that i have aquariums situated i was wondering about what to do in a 20L for my leopard gecko... I thought about a foreground and background but wasn't sure about the UTH getting through 3-4 inches of great stuff... then i thought of non-adheasive shelf-liner cuz that's very easily and...

I have a female leo, she's about 2 yrs old and is just shy of 10 inches long, is this average size or... well big? I can't seem to find normal growth rates for them anywhere. Any help is greatly appreciated :biggrin:

I have yet another question for all you educated people out there :biggrin: I was walking around outside when i saw this big root/branch type thing and thought it would look cool in one of my upcoming vivarium projects. So when sterilizing, you rinse, soak in bleach, dry, then steralize in oven...

My bearded dragon has finally out grown his 20 gallon long aquarium and i'm gonna get him a 40 gallon long. I was planning on moving my leopard gecko from a 15 gallon to the 20 gallon, and that leaves a 15 gallon empty, and we can't have that now can we?:biggrin: So what gecko(s) could...

Aright, so i was thinking and since excavator clay hardens "like cement" could you use it to hold rocks up in a viv? like find a big rock, let's say 12 inches, boil it and all that jazz, then stick say 4 inches of it under the clay... would it hold? I could make some pretty sweet rock formations...

I have an oppurtunity to adopt a male green basilisk :yahoo:(gorgeous coloring) but would like to know if they can be kept in screened enclosures. Anyone who has experience with keeping them in screened vs. glass would be nice. Thanks in advance, Derrek

I've read many things about isopods (rolley-polleys) in a planted viv to 'clean up', but say the isopods eat gecko droppings, then the gecko eats the isopod, couldn't this make the gecko sick?

I'm looking for a natural and SAFE leopard gecko substrate. i'm currently using slate tile but would like to get some plastic plants and bury the base of them to look as real as possible (clearly cant do that with tile :lol:). I've looked and looked and can't find anything... So is there such a...

I was thnking about getting another leopard gecko or two and starting a small colony :) the only problem i'm having is trying to think of vivarium ideas, any ideas??? Feel free to post any pictures :D

I have a female leopard gecko who's livedin the terrarium on her own for a little over a year now, and i've been thinking about getting another leo and bigger tank and putting it in with her. Is this a good idea or would it induce too much stress?

Hi everybody, i'm new here to Geckos Unlimited... I'm the proud owner of a one year old leopard gecko named Tetra, and a three almost 4 year old bearded dragon named Cobalt, and am soon to be the owner of a tokay :D Hoping to learn many new things and share some experiences as well as hear...
