    Does Steeve have a water dish 24/7/365? I use tap water for all my geckos including 1 leo. Nutrobal is an excellent multivitamin. What is your Nutrobal's expiration date? I will check my details on Nutrobal to see whether dusting every other day is recommended for a juvenile leo. What are the...

    Beginner Husbandry Question

    "Hello ! Thanks for your help. THe dimensions for my tank are 48" long by 12 deep and 12 high. Sun does enter the room but not enough to affect the temp. I dont know how to make the floor 30 without making the top of hides 40 since its closer to the heat source (halogen bulbs). At night my...

    Beginner Husbandry Question

    Hi ~ Does the sun enter the room via that window? IF so, that could spike the enclosure's temperatures. What are the dimensions of your leo's enclosure? We strive for a thermal gradient from warm to cool throughout the enclosure's length. Current recommendations for a warm end exceed 33*C. Even...

    Food Aggression. Please Help!!

    I don't know whether this makes sense. For ~3 months Echo was dependent upon any food & water she could find. Now she's getting everything she needs to grow & flourish. Being satiated is a much more comfortable feeling, indeed. :love: Echo sees you as the food-bearer. Live food moves & is...

    Found Leo after 3 months and very thin. Pls respond quick

    6.5 inches sounds reasonable for a 2.5 month old leo. Thanks for your corrections. Still ONLY dust Kaminari's bugs or worms just like Echo's -- ONLY @ 3 feedings per week.

    Found Leo after 3 months and very thin. Pls respond quick

    "The brand of the regular calcium is the Thrive Calcium supplement. And Kaminari is 2 1/2 months old. I believe he is 10in. And thanks for the help!" Thrive brand calcium carbonate is good! No worries there. A 2.5 month old leo is often NOT 10 inches long! I wonder whether Kaminari is some...

    Found Leo after 3 months and very thin. Pls respond quick

    "Her(I think) name is Echo. Her caves were in with Kaminari. So I quickly went out yesterday and got three more caves so they both had 3. I use Rep-Cal Herptivite with Beta Carotene Multivitamin Reptile Supplement and Zoo Med Repti Calcium with D3 Reptile Supplement. I alternate these every time...

    Found Leo after 3 months and very thin. Pls respond quick

    Congratulations on spotting your lost leo! Your plans mostly seem good -- except for waxworms. I don't see any MBD present in his/her limbs based upon either photo. I do see the tiny lump you've circled. What is your lost leo's name? Had that leo actually returned to a former home OR were his...

    My Eublepharis hardwickii (pictures and care link)

    "Main reason is the new forum design. It does not let me upload photos in a sufficient resolution. Elizabeth asked me to keep posting the photos here. But I am not sure it makes too much sense because they look very pixelated." Hi JK ~ Your photos still look AWESOME (at least on my end)! Maybe...

    Something is wrong with Scooby's tail...HELP!

    I'm sorry for my delay. Sometimes everything happens at once, including adjusting to a new laptop after 11 years! • For years I have been using Sparkle brand paper towel, but switched to Bounty because they're a little nicer at absorbing kitchen messes. I just recently bought some more sparkle...

    I've seen your message, GeckoFanboy. Scooby is quite fortunate to have you for his Dad! You're doing an exemplary job with his care. Hopefully I can reply tomorrow (Saturday).

    Something is wrong with Scooby's tail...HELP!

    "Tonight I found him sitting in the middle of his tank, turned around and nibbling at his tail. Another odd thing he's been doing lately is...he starts to climb into his moist hide, stops halfway in, lays down, and will stay there for hours sometimes with his butt, back legs and tail hanging...
