OK, I'm hoping someone can help out on this one. I've introduced quite a few geckos in the past and only admitted defeat once (with a 1.2 of P grandis), this time I'm trying not to admit defeat...... I have a group of 1.2 of Pea****s - the females both get on absolutely fine with each other...

Hi, I've been keeping day geckos for a while up to now all phelsumas and williamsi. I've just acquired (well, I haven't got them yet - I'll get them Saturday) a pair of these spectacular little lizards (well, it's 3 - the previous owner is putting 'junior' in as part of the deal.) I'm setting...

Hi, I'm in the process of setting some bioactive tanks up in the garage to grow baby/juvenile gecko offspring on. All tanks will have 10% UVB bulbs on them - is that all that plants need to keep them healthy or do I need to think about putting something like a UVA on there as well? Thanks Nathan

Hi, I'm looking to add some more lined day geckos. A store has sent me the attached (photos not brilliant I'm afraid) - I'm swaying towards female, does anyone else have any thoughts? Thanks

OK, so I've been after a breeding pair of peac0ck day geckos for ages and I thought I'd hit jackpot today when I found a 'breeding trio' at a store 60 or so miles away. The store were keen to move them on so I went and took a look, they seemed happy after observing them for a while in the tank...

Hi, What else can I feed my day gecko - she's been on a cricket staple with some Morio (super) worms and mealworms. I've been trying to figure out how the worms disappear from the feeding dish so quickly and I got my answer yesterday - the crickets eat them as soon as they go in! (OK - so she's...

Hi, I'm thinking about trying to breed crickets - there's no way I'm going to try it in the house (my wife will divorce me!) so I'm aiming for the garage - only problem, there's no windows/natural light, it's well insulated so warmth isn't an issue - how much light do they need? Will I get...

Hi, My female williamsi has laid and egg overnight, which is a good thing :-) Only problem is where she's decided to lay it - there's no way I can move it and no way I can protect it without breaking the egg (she's glued it to the glass and plant tag of a mounted orchid, so if I move the...

Hi, I have a pair of grandis (male and a female) and a seperate female (I tried them as a trio but the other female turned on the one who's now seperate) The female on her own is a much more vibrant green and a much higher red so she's the one I really want to breed - any suggestions for how I...

Hi, I have 3 x P grandis, 1 x proven breeding pair and a third female (which my wife has called Geraldine and we've had quite a while longer) - they're in 2 separate enclosures. They were all together but the one female turned on Geraldine and I had to separate them (I posted about this on this...

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me on this - I've had my 3 juvenile williamsi for a couple of months now and I'm pretty sure the other 2 are a male and a female; this one's a bit smaller though and this morning's the first time it's stayed still enough on the glass to get a photo and for me to...

Quick on these (and mealworms for that matter) - I always feed them to my grandis in a dish - one of the Morios got out earlier and is loose somewhere in the enclosure, there's no way I'm trying to get it out as I don't want to dig all the plants up and that will just unnecessarily spook the...

Hi, OK, so my 3 juveniles/sub-adults have been in the tank together for about 10 days now - all seem to be getting on fine, all eating well (in fact all the 3 of them seem to do is eat - they never stop eating! Doesn't matter what it is - small crickets, fruit flies, pangea etc it doesn't last...

Hi, My P grandis have been behaving a bit differently the last few days and I suspect (hope) it's breeding behaviour, I'm hoping someone can confirm.... They've become a lot more active and they're hunting for food a lot more than normal. I've caught the male on top of both females in what...

Hi, Having kept P grandis for a while I'm diversifying and next weekend 4 williamsi will be arriving - an adult male and 3 juveniles (hoping for a male and 2 females from the juves but I'd settle for 1 female!) :-D. Tanks are set up and running so I can be sure temps, humidity etc is right...

Hi, Does anyone have any idea what the strange black mark on the side of my grandis may be? She's shed today, but I've not seen anything like this before..... I'm hoping its nothing to worry about Thanks Nathan

Hi, My 2 tanks each have a fogger on them and they run on distilled water - I seem to be getting through it like it's going out of fashion! Has anyone tried rainwater in a fogger/for misting? I have 2 large water butts in the garden that are always near brim full and am wondering if that...

Hi, I'm relatively new to Geckos - we have 3 Phelsuma Grandis in the viv together (1 male 2 females), all seem to get on fine and up to now no problems - one of the females started shedding on Thursday evening and she's only managed to shed about half of her skin (she has managed to clear her...

Hi, Last week I added a couple more Geckos into my tank as a friend for the original female. When I picked them up the store said that they were both eating well and really friendly (they hand feed quite happily) they gave me a box of meal worms as well FOC - I never really tried the original...

Hi, I've had a single female Madagascar day gecko (Geraldine) for a few weeks, she was doing well and given how spectacular she is I decided to give her a much bigger home and a couple of friends so I could show them off even more, I now have 3 day geckos in a naturally planted vivarium, which...
