i have a lot of leftover watermelon. i was wondering if it is ok for the crickets to eat as gut load. is it nutritional for the gecko?

I wanted to get some waxworms for my leo, as sort of a treat for him. So far he has only gotten crickets and mealworms and I wanted to give him something new and see how he responds to it. The problem is that the petstore I go to only sells them in groups of 15. I only have one gecko so 15...

hey guys, quick question. Is it better to have your humid hide on the hot or cool side? I realize it may be more humid on the hot side, but I think you might have to mist it several times a day. Does it produce enough humidity if you have it on the cool side?

I have a newly vacant 12x12x18 exo terra terrarium. Right now I am trying to sell it, but if I cant do so within a month or so, I might consider buying a new gecko. I had a white line in there that has died. If I do get a new gecko, I want to try a different species. I am wondering based...

I was just wondering if there is any way to brighten the colors of your leopard gecko? Like is there a diet or something you can do for them to achieve this? I was just wondering. My leo is not overly dull, but it would be cool if he were a bit brighter. I know they are usually their...

The slate substrate in my leo's tank is plenty warm enough, so I know he is getting his belly heat, which I know is most important. My question though is about the ambient temps. On the cool side, it is around 75. However, on the hot side, it is only getting to around 80-85 at most. I am...

first of all, thank you to everyone who helped me out with my questions about setting up my new terrarium for my leo. Everything seems to have turned out great and Meaty seems to be loving it. Just wanted to post some pics to let you guys see how it turned out and see how you like it...

I am setting up me leo's new tank and I need some opinions. The substrate is slate rock with sand filling the cracks. The sand used is zoo med repti sand. From what I have researched and with the help from people on this forum, this is the best I could use. (finest grain, non calcium based)...

I want to buy a 20 gal long terrerium for my leo. I was at petsmart the other day and i saw one for $75. As I was browsing the fish section a little later I saw a 20 gal long aquarium for $35. I was just wondering if there was a major difference between the two or if there is a specific...

Currently I have my leo's substrate as repti-carpet. I am planning on moving him into a larger cage and while I was at it, I wanted to create a more natural looking habitat. I was thinking about using slate rock with a little bit of sand packed in between the spaces. I saw this brand of sand...

My leopard gecko is shedding for the first time since I've gotten him. He was very pale yesterday, almost white. This morning when i woke up i saw some scraps of skin in the cage and he is under his humid hide. Its not the best hide right now, just a dome rock with some moist napkins under...

Here is a pic of my white line. Name is Reptar. Im not sure if it is male or female though. If you cant really tell from this picture, then I can try and get a better one. Thanks for the help.

I have had my leo for around 2 weeks now. I feed him a diet of calcium/multivitamin dusted crickets. He gets 4-5 nightly and he always eats them enthusiastically, usually in less than 5 mins (I've never had to take out any uneaten crickets). I have read different things regarding this issue...

I currently have a leopard gecko in a 10 gal terrarium. I am using a UTH for heat obviously. I am thinking of moving him into a 20 gal long terrarium. I know on the label that it says you should not attempt to remove the heater and apply it to another tank, but I would rather not spend...

I have a dish in my leopard geckos tank with repcal calcium supplement with vitamin d3. I read that this helps if they are feeling low on calcium. I also read that some people say it should not contain d3 because they may overdose on d3 if they eat too much. Basically my question is is it ok to...

Hi, i am pretty new to geckos and i could use a little help. As of now i have 1 white line gecko (Reptar) and 1 leopard gecko (Meaty). I have been online and read most of the basic care instructions and needs for both. Here are some pics of their enclosures. Please let me know what you think...
