Given what I know of other day geckos and how they behave with each other, I recommend a male with females. It's possible that an enclosure that size would work with lots of hiding spots, but I don't know if it's worth the risk. Aliza

Think of it as lots of choices, as opposed to conflict about the "one true choice". Newspaper is fine, but it gets dirty from droppings, the feeders can hide under it or the gecko can try to "dig" it up and tear it. That said, it works for some people. Paper towel is also a choice, but has...

I haven't kept this kind of gecko but I can tell you some general things: -- most newly hatched geckos don't eat anything until after their first shed which could take 3-4 days to happen. Then they eat small versions of whatever the adult eats --they need an environment that meets the same...

I don't think it's anything to worry about. Maybe he's not putting out as much liquid as usual. Also, if there are crickets in the enclosure, they often eat the poop and it gets powdery like that. This is not a problem either. Aliza

My situation may be different from yours because I don't have AC in my house, but many of my leopard geckos are spending the days on the cool side right now. Aliza

This is an old article and I don't know if you'll be able to find any of the contributors, but maybe there will be something there that's useful: https://geckotime.com/three-to-get-ready-goniurosaurus/#google_vignette Aliza

I haven't bred mourning geckos but in my experience with breeding I always left eggs alone till they either hatched or collapsed. Aliza

They certainly look like what I see in all my bioactive enclosures. Aliza

It's hard to tell what it is. It certainly is worthwhile taking him to the vet. Aliza

You can if you want. It takes a very long time for lack of calcium to cause problems. You can also dip your finger in water, dip it in the calcium and rub some on his lips. He'll probably lick it off. Aliza

Yes, I had a leopard gecko for 12 years who sometimes would go about 6 months without eating. I would offer, try to hand feed and occasionally would squeeze the guts of a superworm on his mouth. He would lose about 20 grams a season but by the end of the summer he was up to 89grams. I had a...

It's not a big deal. Years ago, people thought the lump was a sign that the gecko was in good breeding condition. Then people decided it was because the gecko was getting too much calcium. Then people decided that the gecko was overweight. Don't worry about it; it's not clear to me why it...

I've kept AFT 's in the past. Many of these geckos eat a lot less in the winter, which may be the issue. In general it's a good idea to keep offering and see what happens. If you feel that the tail size is going down, I've had good experience "jump starting" my AFT eating by holding them and...

It's a little hard to tell. The white bands makes me think snow and because the black bands have faded into stripes, there's been a lot of time for the gecko to yellow up. I'd say most likely it's a snow. Aliza

The first one is a hypo. I have no way of telling if it's a snow or not. If you got it as a young juvenile and it was white and black instead of white and yellow then it's a snow. They tend to get yellow as they mature. The second is a high yellow (fewer spots so the yellow really shows up...

I don't keep AFT's anymore, but for years I had them on coco fiber and misted them every evening. Another option is something called "ABG mix" (ABG from Atlanta Botanical Gardens who came up with the idea). Here's an article I found online about it: https://terrariumtribe.com/abg-mix-recipe/ Aliza

It's hard to tell. I'd recommend a vet visit. Aliza

He looks great. Any idea how he ended up in the other gecko's tank? Aliza

I'm by no means an expert: first 2 look to me like a type of house gecko ( Hemidactylus frenata is the common house gecko but there are a lot of species and I'm least sure of this one). The green one is a Giant Day Gecko - Phelsuma grandis. The next few pictures of the geckos with the funny...

African Fat Tails are known to not be interested in worms, though there are exceptions. I have a bunch of geckos, 37 to be exact. I offer crickets and super worms. Most of them will take either, at least some of the time, but I have one who really only wants super worms and others who only...
