How do you all cool down your day geckos to give the females a break? Ambient temps in my room are 73-74, with a basking spot in the low-mid 80's and a slight increase in the area under the UV strip light, too. Should I turn off their basking spot? Put it onto a dimmer and reduce its strength...

So my P. laticauda are doing great, and have become one of my favorite reptile pets for their action and beauty. I'm contemplating adding a second species this fall. It will need to be a species that can live in an 18"x18"x24" viv at the largest, for life. I am considering P. klemmeri, the...

Finally made the trip up into PA today to pick up two baby mourning geckos from Jeremy Covert. They are so darn cute and tiny!! Here's a few photos. I am super excited. This is a species I have long coveted!

Got two gold dust gay gecko babies yesterday! I will post a better photo once I am at my PC later. They are so tiny!

So I've got my first two eggs cooking. Eventually I will need to be selling some babies and I am wondering what the typical going prices are for CBB's? I got my pair as wild caught adults for $90 plus shipping. Are CB specimens worth more as in some species, or is $45/ each pretty typical? I am...

I have an albino leopard gecko. I know she's albino, but no lineage, so no clue what variety. Is there a way to tell if she is "Bell Albino," or "Tremper Albino," or another variety of albino, just by a photo? I am not planning to breed her, so it's not essential for me to know, I am just...

After waiting what seemed like eons, my female, Cinder, finally laid two pearly white eggs for me. Here they are, looking great. I can't wait to see the babies.

My female is starting to look a bit gravid to me. I have a few questions about day gecko eggs and incubation. If I find eggs, I assume they can be easily moved-- but are they like crested gecko eggs in that you need to keep them at the same orientation that they were laid in? Or can they be...

I planted my day gecko viv today. :-) It looks really good. I have three plants in there, the biggest of which is a schefflera, umbrella plant. The geckos really like this plant.

I was actually very impressed with this guys bold yellow color when I got him out of his cup-- he looked more "buff" in the breeder photo, but he was YELLOW today. I am calling him/her Chip.

Bark was cooperative for a photo session. Beech was not at all cooperative. Please, just a single picture, I said. No, he said, and bit me on the thumb before scampering into his leaves and hiding. I'll try and get some photos next week when they are calmer. They are both in 5 gallon tanks...

With help from Gekkota classifieds, I am going to be getting a CBB tokay gecko. It's a female, and won't be shipped for another month until she's bigger and stronger. This is the viv I have available for her. It is 12"x12"x18". I have the option of a heat lamp or a heat pad to raise ambient...

Got Madagascar Hissers again because I think they are cool, and a bunch of B. dubia. What other species do you all raise as food for your geckos?

Two Phelsuma laticauda, a male and female! I think this one is the male. He savagely attacked this cricket. I don't plan on feeding this size cricket in the future-- I thought they would be a bit bigger than this, full grown adults as opposed to young adults. He didn't seem to have an issue...

I picked up a couple Hamburg cresties today. This is Hagrid, a super sweet pinstripe harlequin from Crestie Central. Mirax, a harlequin female from Sticky Feet Reptiles. And lastly, Pearl. Pearl is slightly crazy. She just ran all over her new house, through her new food and is now finger...

Can anyone tell me what these two plants are? They were not identified by tags-- just "tropical house plants." I am starting bioactive vivs for some of my non-breeding cresties and hopefully a day gecko, and want to know if these are safe.

I moved my female out of her "winter home" which is cool enough to prevent/ discourage egg laying about three weeks ago. I put her with my male on Tuesday the 9th and observed copulation. Tonight I went down to mist them and she is sitting spread out in the lay box, but it seems premature to me...

I am attending Hamburg next weekend and was considering picking up a species of Phelsuma. I wanted a species that would stay fairly small, and was thinking about the Gold Dust Day gecko, P. laticauda. Would you consider this to be a good starter day gecko species? I have experience with other...

Hello! I am new to the site, happened to stumble across it while researching mourning geckos, which we saw at the Mid-Atlantic reptile show this past weekend. I've been keeping cresties and leos for two years now and we had our first ever hatching on Saturday... a baby crestie! We're super...
