Found this recently. A must-read for those interested in correctly replicating their natural environment...esp diet Im not allowed to link. Title is: "Ecological observation on the Gargoyle Gecko, Rhacodactylus auriculatus, in Southern New Caledonia" by Joshua Snyder out of Villanova. I...

Will a juvenile tokay be adversely affected by a few days without food? Itd be a one time thing but Ive never dealt with nonadults.

I went to check out one of the local pet stores that I've been going to since I was a kid and was happy to see a juvenile tokay. I have to assume that it was a pet that someone dropped off because the owner has told me in the past that he doesn't like to carry tokays due to prior problems with...

I remember another member mentioning that he felt that gargs were built to handle larger, vertebrate prey. I personally noticed mine's preference for larger insect prey, but never tried offering anything else. I no longer own one, so I have to ask those who do whether or not they've noticed...

Scorpio got a tank upgrade (pics later today maybe). 20gal high with tons of horizontal perches and foliage, nooks to lurk inside, etc. Despite all this and several heart to hearts, he still demands that his sleeping must be done nose down. This very often causes his tail to bend dorsally at...

I've never kept a crested on anything other than paper towel before. He's almost full grown at this point and I gave him this "forest blend" mix because I'm sick of looking at paper towel. I know how sloppy he is when he hunts/hurls his mouth at food. Anyone have probs with adult geckos...

Went to the zoo in DC a few weeks ago and naturally checked out the reptile house. Has anyone seen the tokay exhibit? It was basically made to look like a crappy shed: minimal hiding places on the wall (paint brush, maybe a picture frame), a few boards on the floor. It was a unique spin I...

Has anyone ever looked at this? I'm intrigued, but highly skeptical and my searches have revealed nothing on here or the internet telling me anything about it other than strange artificial reviews that link back to the original site. Very squirrelly.

So scorpio is running solely on crickets these days but has decreased his intake from about 2-3 a night to 1 for the past few nights. Also his enthusiasm for them is hugely diminished: he used to actively pursue them but now just sort of hides in his cork tube and watches them. Has this...

It didn't take long to ruin Scorpio's good eating habits. He got two days of crickets in a row and now he won't eat his CGD. He stakes out the dish with food in it waiting for crickets to come eat from it :shock: He did just get a tank upgrade but he was eating well from the first day he was...

Well, despite my preaching about keeping little cresties in small containers, I couldn't resist putting Scorpio into a new home: he's been doing so well that I had a hunch he'd have no issues. So far, this has proven correct since he's been exploring the whole place for the last 2 days and...

has anyone seen their cresties do this? it seems so playful though i know reptiles don't do that......

My little cresty is coming along nicely after a week in his new home: has eaten CGD and pooped for me twice in consecutive days. I think I'll begin to handle him after 5 consecutive feeds. A curious thing keeps happening though...I've put CGD on the tips of my tongs a few times just for shits...

I gave my male garg to a friend who breeds them (I think he'll be very happy with the change: life with sex > life w/o) and found a good home for my leo because the next year or so of my life will not be conducive to an animal that needs crickets regularly. That left me sans herp for about a...

my approx. 4 mo is growing well, etc., but i've noticed a soft bulge behind his right arm for the past week or two. it's not behind the other arm and doesn't affect his gait. i can move it easily and it feels and looks like fat. he is by no means chunky and is a very active hunter so it's not...

I posted this in reply to a question re: leopard gecko feeding on that sub-forum, but it could feasibly apply to everyone else: I have also read the meal worm recommendations. Aside from the chitin possibly leading to impaction, everyone's hang up with them is their short digestive tract...

Well, I finally joined the ranks. I like my garg, but I could've just skipped right to a leo and been happy. So laid back even as a very small baby and really curious about everything. I went against the site's care sheet and got a 10gal for now, but will switch to a 20 this weekend because I...

which morphs have white eyes? which ones have red? i'm continually toying with the idea of getting a leo, but already have a sub-adult garg and fantasy frog. i'd love to get one, but it would be irresponsible at this point, so asking questions is my way of teasing myself and prolonging the...

My juvie garg sits on my potted plant on my desk while I study and watches me...

I'd like to find out more about these, but have only found them briefly mentioned in a few places and not at all on here. Does anyone know anything about mite pouches in gargs?
