    U.milii eating problem!

    Hi everyone. I have noticed after a few days that one of my thick-tailed geckos (U.milii) seems to ignore crickets quite frequently. Everytime I offer one it just shakes it whole body when the cricket touches its lips (I use forceps to feed my thick tails). What is this weird shaking behaviour...

    Housing other gecko species with U.milii

    I was wondering if it was possible to house a Eastern stone gecko (Diplodactylus vittatus) and a box-patterned gecko (Diplodactylus steindachneri) with my two thick-tailed geckos if i provide lots of hides. Will it cause aggression, is it risky, is it even possible?

    Leaving my thick-tailed geckos?

    Hi, in a few weeks i'm going on a trip for 5 days and i don't know what am I going to do with my thick-tailed geckos. My family members aren't helpful, they do not want to feed it or clean up its droppings while i'm away. How will my geckos survive for 5 days? I won't be able to mist them, so...
