I've been working a bit too much OT lately, so I'm not sure if this behavior has been going on for a while, or if it's something recent, but I'm not certain if it's aggression between two individuals or just some form of courtship behavior, so I figured I'd try to get a few opinions from those...

Hello everyone. I'm just wondering if there is a reasonably good key to locale variations available to the "non-expert" tokay enthusiast? (preferably on-line.) I'm not (currently) interested on breeding tokays, and I don't need an authoritative, definite guide to the species, but after seeing...

Hi. I'm looking into moving up from manually misting my cages to a more "automated" setup using a humidifier. That, and a majority of the species I'm interested in picking up in the future would require a much higher humidity level, on average, than I can maintain without making some changes...

I had generally though I'd pass on keeping any tokays, since their aggressive temperament and slightly odd proportions generally made them seem a little unattractive to me. However, after seeing a well fed adult being kept by a friend and fellow herper here in town, and some of the pictures...

I'm still playing with the new camera... :) Neither of these shots came quite as clear as I wanted them, so I reduced and combined the shot to something small and fairly forgivable. Still, it shows some of the striking color variation between day and night time coloration on a single species...

I got a good deal on a new camera, and after a few issues with FedEx, (they couldn't find my apartment, :roll:) and a really busy week where I had no time to pick it up from my dad, who kindly went to their office to get it, I finally got it on my hands today. To celebrate, and test the camera...

Personally, I'm still working out the logistics of going there that weekend. If I do go there, for anyone else's that is also going, I'll probably be the guy wearing a SWHS t-shirt on Saturday, so feel free to stop me and introduce yourselves as fellow members of this forum. I had planned on...

I had some free time this sunday (finally, after a lot of running around doing errands for the last few weekends.) So I decided to work a little on my gecko cages. The sakalavas' cage in particular, needed a bit of work. They were in a 20 that I had originally not meant to use as their...

Does anyone have a general list of gecko safe fruits and vegetables? I know bananas, strawberries, peaches and mangoes are generally OK, and citrus of any kind are not, but what about other fruits and vegetables? Things like Kiwis, Pears and Apples, and vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers...

I believe this topic has been brought up before already, but it's interesting enough to bring up again and discuss here, and see if anyone has noticed anything similar when breeding geckos. While the title of the article seems a little obtuse: Species still have more viable offspring if they...

Well, I just got 3 of these fellows from Tom at Starrynightexotics this morning. I had them shipped to my workplace, and they gave the poor lady at sample receiving, who usually has to go through everyone's packages, a bit of a start. I guess that's one way to make it into the rumor mill for...

Well, this type of topic has been posted before, but since this is the first time it happened to me, and since it was such a pleasant surprise, I hope you'll forgive my indulging myself in this post. I've had my Turner's gecko for nearly two years already, and in that time, I've noticed that he...

Hello there. Well, I'm starting to strongly suspect the female S. Stheno I've just acquired is gravid, and now have some questions. I don't know how many of them have well known answers, but if I don't ask, I'll definitely not have any answers. About how soon after "discovering" a female is...

I had this on the design and setup section earlier, but it probably fits here better. Well, the couch and the cat I've already had for a while, but I just got this one up here last Sunday: Flickr link It was pretty much a give-away, since all it took was a very small donation to my local...

Now more correctly ID'd. I was under the impression it was something else before being enlightened by more knowledgeable members of the forum. (Thanks thorrshamri!) At least the picture turned out nice, so I thought I'd share: Follow this link for other size options, and feel free to play...

This is mostly to satisfy my curiosity, as this guy: Other size options seems to be doing fairly well on the diet of gut loaded crickets I've been feeding him (her?) (with the occasional dusting of calcium or vitamins for a more balanced nutritional load.) I was under the impression that...

I got a 1.1 pair today, for just a little over the cost of shipping, from somebody who was moving on a different direction with their reptile collection. (their loss and my gain, I suppose.) They came in a little thirsty, but seem otherwise OK. With a little luck and some TLC, I really hope...

I just recently discovered this forum, while looking for some caresheets. (Not that I was particularly looking for any new geckos, but you know, :wink: just in case i happened to find that one great deal on something neat.) As it happens, I did find a good deal elsewhere on a 1.1 pair of...

This is mostly for my own enlightenment, as I've not had the pleasure of seeing any live androyensis yet. I've noticed some color variations on the pictures shown here and elsewhere for P. androyensis, and while some of it obviously reflects age differences, with juveniles being more brightly...

Hello everyone, nice to see such an active group of gecko enthusiasts. I've been keeping geckos for a few years, mostly individuals of the more commonly available species and have become recently interested in trying my hand at starting a (hopefully fun & rewarding) breeding project, and I'm...
