    Male Fimbriatus Not Happy About Newly Introduced Female

    I have just introduced a new female fimbriatus into the my male fimbriatus' cage. I'm seeing exactly what I saw last time with this male and his (late) female partner. The female acclimates immediately - eating, moving about the cage, etc. However, the male is more than not happy. He...

    Uroplatus Fimbriatus Not Eating & Sleeping Odd Places

    I've been treating a uroplatus fimbriatus for a mouth wound for about a week now. The issue was a mouth wound that was getting worse. Now his wound is healing rather nicely but he's not eating and he's sleeping in odd spots. I've always known a uroplatus to sleep vertically, feet straight up...

    Have wild caught gecko checked out before introducing new female?

    I am looking for a female to add to my viv with a fimbriatus male. The male is wild caught. I've had him for about 3.5 years. I've never had him checked out - he was the only one in the enclosure originally and he seemed very healthy. At this point, since he shows no sign of any issues...

    Fimbriatus Raw / Bloody Snout

    I have a male fimbriatus that has slowly been developing a raw nose. I'm not sure if this is from hitting his face on the glass when eating or accidently jumping face first into glass, but now it's becoming a concern. I've had one fimbriatus die of a mouth infection so I'm hoping to nip this...

    Fimbriatus Difficulty Walking on Various Materials

    I was going to add to a vivarium thread I had going but I decided this is a more general question. I was going to buy a large piece of grapewood that is sufficient enough to supply all vertical and horizontal surfaces. However, I noticed the surface of it is rough. Fimbriatus have very...

    Vivarium Height for Fimbriatus

    My 48x18x18 has a crack in the glass so I am going to get a new vivarium for my giant leaf tailed gecko. My choices are that Exo Terra XL Tall 36x36x18 or a generic 48 x 24 x 24 tall. The gallon difference is marginal - 100 vs 120. However, with 6" of substrate and drainage, that leaves 30"...

    Female Sikorae Gravid - Things to Look Out For?

    My female sikorae has been gravid for some time now. I'm getting a bit worried she's been gravid for too long so I thought I'd put this out to the community: I've read they sleep in awkward positions when gravid. You can see she's trying to keep her bottom end hanging off the side. She...

    Giant Leaf Tailed Gecko Infection / Sick?? Please help.

    I am having what seems to be a similar issue to this post: http://www.geckosunlimited.com/community/leaf-tailed-geckos-uroplatus/68675-giant-leaf-tail-gecko-sick.html The first sign of issue was her eye. It didn't shed properly. Then she started developing a bump on her mouth. Now you can...

    Abnormal Large Abscessed Calcium Sac in Sikorae [Solved!!]

    Three years ago I purchased a sikorae with an enlarged calcium sac. While I've been monitoring the growth there wasn't much I could do about it. He was eating, drinking and shedding so I took the forum advise and left it alone. Eventually it grew to the size of a large pea which, given the...

    Spider/Pest problem in viv

    Hello, I've noticed I have a spider problem in my viv that has gotten completely out of control. They're big, black and ugly. Fortunately the identifying mark (red hourglass) isn't there but they're still quite large. I feel the only solution is to take everything out and fill it with water...

    Found on feces - parasitic worm, maggot or ?

    I left for about 4 nights and when I came back I saw everything was normal except for the droppings from my Fimbriatus. They had these white larvae all over them. I also see similar larvae buried about 1/4" in the substrate. I just changed the substrate too. I'm just not educated in these...

    Why does sikorae lays eggs but fimbriatus does not?

    I have 1.1 pairs of sikorae and fimbriatus. The sikorae lays eggs every 6-8 weeks* or so, sometimes sooner. The fimbriatus has laid 2 eggs in the 2 years I've had her and both those eggs were soft, infertile and stuck to a tree - so she's aware she's laying duds. Everything about their care...

    Help identify hard shelled and white larvae in dracena leaf water

    I was doing an inspection of my taller vivarium and I came across these tiny larvae sitting in the funnel of the leaves on a dracena. There was a lot of water in there so I redirected the mist nozzle but these have me concerned. I have no idea what they are. They're hard shelled and crush...

    Adult hissing roach and fimbriatus

    I wanted to switch it up and get the pair some hissing roaches. One of those is like 10 crickets - they'll love it I tried this once with a sikorae. I got a sub adult hissing roach and it disappeared. It reappeared a month later bigger than the gecko so I had to remove it. Question is, if I...

    Caught her laying an egg

    I put a vine in the enclosure and accidentally disrupted her sleep - looks like it was about her time to lay an egg. This is the second egg from her, I'm hoping for another fertile one. Shes laying it in the same spot - if she starts to cover it with leaves it I'll snap a few more shots. I...

    Female too young for male?

    I just went to the store and picked up a nice looking female mossy. I have a full adult male mossy right now as well. Last time I put a female with a male it worked beautifully. That was with a pair of fimbriatus. They got along in a day. I have two concerns about this one 1. The male...

    Fimbriatus laying egg in tree or ...?

    I have a 1.1 in a 5' tall. I got the female two maybe three months ago. Now this: It's sticking to the tree. I've never bred reptiles before but since this looks so unusual to me I thought I'd bring it here. My second thought was that she's been severely impacted...and if that's the case...

    Lighting for tall cage - uroplatus and plants

    For members using a taller cage for larger leaf tail geckos with live plants - what kind of lighting do you use? My cage doesn't radiate enough light to reach the substrate very well, and the plants suffer as a result. Since plant life is secondary but supplemental to the health of a...
