    Exo-Terra Plantation Soil

    Is this a possible substrate for Crested Geckos? I don't think I've ever seen it talked about, mainly only Eco Earth which I can't seem to find at the pet-store I go to :( Will plantation soil work instead? I'm moving my young Crestie into her new, large enclosure soon hopefully. She's sitting...

    Very strange behaviour...

    So.. Didn't know where to post this, don't think it belongs in the health section so it shall go here for now. Tonight I found my Leo trying to eat her fake plant hanging from her enclosure. She was tugging on it with her mouth and just kept on trying to eat it. It looked like she was chewing...

    Butterworms

    So today I went out and bought some butterworms for the first time to feed my Leo and started wondering if I could try one with my 4 or 5month old Crestie. The worm is definitely small enough for her just wondering if they're safe. Sadly she won't even go near crickets but I would like her to...

    This just sickens me :(

    Naturalist Leopard Gecko Habitat!

    So I've never done anything like this before but decided to attempt to make my very own Leopard Gecko tank setup. I'm just going to start out small making a little hide however I plan to fill her entire tank with this type of custom, realistic setup! I've been researching this sort of thing for...

    Leopard Gecko Closing Eyes

    Stupid question here possibly... For as long as I can remember my Leo has had a thing with just closing her eyes randomly. What worries me is she doesn't close them both at the same time normally. She'll either close her left or right eye leaving the opposite eye open :? She has had issues...

    A scary experience!

    So I would like to share a rather... Traumatic experience with you guys. Last night I took the cage top off of my Leopard Geckos tank because I was going to feed him. I then realized that I had forgotten the tub that I feed him in, in the other room so I left him unattended for less than...

    Curious on how you feed your Leo's!

    So, I don't really have a problem I'm just curious on what sort of feeding and supplement schedule you have for your Leo's! :) I feed mine 9 or 10 three week old crickets every other day dusted with Calcium+D3 and then once a week I replace the calcium supplement with a MultiVitamin! I also...

    Temperature Problem

    Where do I begin... The air temp in my Leopard Geckos tank is 84-87ish on the hot side and about 75-80 on the coolside. I use an under tank heater that is on all the time and a 75watt Exo-Terra Daylight Basking Spot bulb on from 8am-8pm. Im aware that my UTH needs to be on a thermostat so that...

    Housing a young Crested Gecko!

    So I have a 2month old Crested Gecko and I just got her about a week and a half ago. I have been keeping her in a 18x18x24inche Exo-Terra tank. I know most people say you should keep younger ones in a Kritter Keeper of some sort however at the time all I had was this tank and didnt see the issue...

    How can I reduce my humidity!?

    So I have a slight problem. Now this isn't just a leopard gecko humidity problem but I suppose it also affects my Crestie as well. So my leopard geckos tank has a humidity of about 55% which I'm almost sure is too high! I do not mist his tank at all however I'm still stuck with this high...

Now Im going to feed her CGD as the main staple with crickets once a week or so and maybe a mushed up banana every now and then as treat :) Now so far what I've been doing is giving her some new CGD every...

    How can I properly care and gutload my mealworms?

    So I only feed my Leo mealworms once every week or so. Because of this I only buy about 30mealies at a time. Up to now I've always kept my mealworms in the fridge keeping them inactive and without food. I've recently realized that this isnt NEARLY nutrious enough for my gecko and I have to be...
