"Would 12 inches or 18 inches of height be better for a Leopard Gecko? The reason I am thinking about this is that I want to provide UVB for my Leo, and the Arcadia Shadedweller recommends about 12" of distance between the light and the reptile, and some of that is filtered out by the mesh...

Thanks for sharing. Please keep us updated.

I'm very sorry for my response delay. Here's a very recent message by GU's admin Hilde. Hilde has bred & kept leopard geckos & other geckos for years! When I (Hilde) first started with leopards, I kept lids in the enclosure, because that's what every source said. Then I started reading it can...

Zoo Med's Reptivite Reptile Vitamins withOUT D3 is much better than Rep-Cal's Herptivite Multivitamins with Beta Carotene (from your deleted message)! Zoo Med's Reptivite contains pre-vitamin A acetate (retinol), whereas Rep-Cal's Herptivite only contains pro-vitamin A beta carotene. A wee bit...

Your Zoo Med Repti Basking 100 watt Spot Lamps only produce UVA. UVB rays change D3 powdered supplement requirements. Providing UVB for a leopard gecko is totally different! For a 40 gallon breeder enclosure you'd need Arcadia's ShadeDweller 12 inch long UVB tube & dedicated fixture mounted on...

Good afternoon! Please forgive my bold red type. Please share these details. 1. There's some chance you're oversupplementing with vitamin D3 and/or providing harmful UVB! Vitamin D3 dosage is usually "reduced" when a leo uses appropriate UVB. UVB depends upon type of UVB provided (bulb or tube)...

More replies between the lines: "The thing that looks like a lump on her back is a pattern on her body. Thanks! I feed her mealworms right now because that’s all she will take. I feed her every other day. I feed the mealworms oats. There are more balanced diets to feed your mealworms than JUST...

Please reply ASAP. Taking excessive supplements can be detrimental to Kaminari's health. I have other suggestions too.

"I dust the mealworms with FLUKER’S Repta calcium. I use a multivitamin but I don’t remember the brand name. I alter the dusting every time I feed." Thanks for your quick reply! 1. Please let me know the exact name of this Fluker's supplement: Fluker's PLAIN calcium or Fluker's Calcium with...

Thanks so much! When I click Kaminari's photo, I see her full body image. Kaminari is a gorgeous yellow leo! Even though Kaminari's tail is smaller proportionally, her overall body weight is ideal. Not all leos have a super fat tail. Is there some sort of lump on her mid-to-lower back? The...

I spy 2 beady little eyes! Thanks sooooo much for sharing Asia prowling beneath her Wyze night vision camera! There's NO question whether she's thriving in her huge grow tent!!!

"My Leopard Gecko has been with me for maybe a month to two months. And I was told from the breeder that she is around 2 months. I’m not too sure about her past but I was told that she was only given mealworms. I gave her a couple of days to settle in like I should. And she originally ate great...

Hi Digs ~ In a couple other online groups you mentioned that diets super high in calcium like Mazuri, T-Rex, plus, contained enough calcium to actually kill some insects. Did I miss your warning here?

Thanks soooo much, Digs, for sharing your ongoing commitment to lifelong husbandry above & beyond all 'norms' for your leopard gecko Asia wherever you may 'travel'. At this rate Asia might live longer than Esther Laue's leo Grossmutterchen who's approximately 45 years old & lives in Germany...

Happy 97th Birthday, David Attenborough! 8 May 2023

One 'ultimate' question is: How do you manage feeding Asia? The second question: 'Is she present in any of these images?
