I used to have the time and money to buy all sorts of critters for my LG. As of late I need to get it to simply eat mealworms out of a dish. I bought a lees mealworm dish and have put in a good 8 giant mealworms and it completely ignores it. It has walked up to it, done the "head turn" and...
So I bought this exo Terra natural light bulb to replicate sunlight in the enclosure. It gives a lot of UVA off barely any heat. Should this effect how I supplement with calcium?

Well, I bought it after I read a bunch of reviews. I have nothing to independently verify the accuracy of the thing but here are my current readings.
72 degrees on warm side (about 3 inchs above ground)
42 percent on warm side, its a 5.5 gallon I didnt think there would be a huge difference in...
I always kept a milk cap of regular calcium in my LG's enclosure. I never noticed it use it though so I removed it for 2 weeks continued regular dusting of prey items and re-introduced it today. It went high speed to it and got a dose of calcium.
Where is there evidence that calcium should not...
I have had the same LG since it was 6 grams, it is now 18. It has always been very healthy and primarily fed Dubia's and Giant Mealworms. Its stools and urates were always healthy and I had very little concern.
I recently bought about 20 Silk Worms, which the LG went crazy for. The next day...

My LG is still letting mealworms and dubias crawl right up to it and it acts annoyed. I then take them out and it seems that the only time I can get it to eat anything is at day break and its barely one prey item. I hear of alll these voracious eaters and my Gecko is in good health with good...
OK.
I like learning from old fashioned research and positive and negative experience...
LG =8 GMs
Daily for 1 1/2 months two good sized gut stuffed dubias followed by one wax worm a day. I don't make my Herps contort their necks to swallow. Good Size though.
LG=14.5 GMs taken to exotics vet...
Ok,
I might have been brash when I first posted on the forum but it was during a time that a Leo was suffering and ultimately died.
I now have a very active 55 day old gecko. I order Giant Meal Worms from RainbowMealworms because they have found a process to create larger mealworms without...
I have a 75 day old Gecko. I have gone through all the different heat gradients. I have raised, lowered humidity. ETC. The Gecko sheds immaculately has healthy feces and still "barely" eats. I obviously can get it to eat wax worms but I bought about 500 Giant Mealworms and so far it has only ate...
