    New tank reimagined

    My boyfriend is away tomorrow so I figured I could sit and dabble with vivarium-related things. Sculpting a little, getting background and plants and stuff in and I think it'll look really cool! I'll take some photos along the way and post a couple of steps!

    Strange poo/vomit

    I'm really worried about Eclair, I thought she'd been hiding for the last few days because she was still settling in but today she did a very strange poo/vomit (not sure what it is). I don't know if it makes much of a difference, but she's been drinking a lot of water since she arrived. Filled...

    Calcium and growth

    I've always been careful with giving Donut the right amount of calcium (with D3 once a week and calciworms as dinner once a week) but today I saw him bending his foot in a very strange way when he was sitting around after eating. He was kind of bending it backwards, resting on his wrist. Once he...

    Gekkies vs other pets in the household

    I'm wondering what other people's experiences with geckos and other pets are? We have a cat and she loves sitting around watching them go about their business, she'll even sit and wait for them to come out. When Donut comes out to be handled I usually allow her to smell him a little and he's...

    Handling/recognition

    Does anybody have any experience/ideas when it comes to leopard geckos remembering you? We've had Eclair for under a week and we wanted to leave her alone until she settled in but unfortunately that was not possible as she managed to climb into our other gecko's tank a couple of times. It's...

    Escape artist

    I'm going to make a lid for the tank today. So far, we've been using just wood panels with ventilation gaps because that's all we had and now it's time to get something proper in place. Especially now that we have Eclair. Every single time we've had doubts about whether she will go somewhere...

    Daylight!

    I know that a lot of caresheets and people say that you don't actually need any lighting for your gecko, but I gotta say getting some bulbs in the tank is the best thing I've ever done. I originally just needed an infrared heat bulb to crank up the ambient temperature in the tank (I live in...

    Mealworm issue

    I always leave a dish with mealworms in the tank for my geckos. However, there's one thing about this that's really bugging me. When I put them in, they'll wriggle around, climb out and such (which is fine, they'll be eaten at some point) but after a little while, they seem to just give up on...

    Hello!

    I figured I'd do a little introduction of my leopard geckos that live with me and my boyfriend! Donut (Normal) is about 5 months old and we got him 2 months ago and our first ever reptile. We believe he's a male but we can't be entirely sure yet, really. Since we got him, he's more than doubled...

    Worms?

    I know there are a lot of different opinions on mealworms as the staple food item for leopard geckos, but here's the deal - my gecko is pretty much only interested in worms. We had about 50 crickets and he would reluctantly eat 1-2 so most of them died on their own before we could run out (we...
