I suspect my dubia roach colony of being infested with pinworms due to one of my geckos unfortunately passing away at the start of the year from not being diagnosed early enough (because the vet messed up the fecal results...) and at least one showing the exact same symptoms now, with the...

Hi guys, a few weeks ago I noticed a white glob in Cannoli's eye. He's about 10 months old and eats well (though a little picky). It looked like it was just something he'd gotten in there so I tried flushing it to no avail. I took him to the vet, who couldn't see the glob but prescribed...

I've been wanting to set up a bioactive/naturalistic tank for one of my leopard geckos (Donut)! The thing is, his current tank is made of wood, and it's not deep enough for a proper drainage layer. I've been thinking about getting him a glass tank instead and I just now saw that I can get one of...

So I've been (trying) to make a custom vivarium background for my gargoyle and pretty much everything that could've gone wrong, did go wrong. However, it's all set up now and I'm in the "meehhh... ok..."-phase. I have a couple of concerns though... It's been a week since I siliconed over the...

I recently got a crested gecko and he was so scared upon arrival that he dropped his tail the second I opened the tub to let him into his tank! The tail flopped around for a good 5 minutes and I filmed it a little, thought I'd share

Hi guys! I haven't been on for a long time because I've been pretty busy... I don't know if anyone remembers, but earlier this year I had trouble with my little girl Eclair. She didn't want to eat and things I tried included baths, electrolyte supplements, sunlight, temperature adjusting...

I'm still trying to understand leopard gecko genetics so I'm gonna turn here for help. The two geckos I purchased this year have turned out female, so I'm not entirely sure what kind of male I should get for breeding next year. The females are a Sunglow and a Tangerine Tremper Albino. I've been...

We recently (2 weeks ago) got two new younglings! They're in large plastic tubs in a different room from all other reptiles for quarantine :3 This is Flan! He's probably a male (temp sexed) but we're not seeing any signs of it so far... He's the most gorgeous little guy. He's quite timid but...

I'd like for someone to help me troubleshoot Eclair's eating issues - I know that I can sometimes go blind about things that have been going on for a long time. She's obviously too small for her age but she's not underweight. I altered the sick-sheet for this. I'm currently experimenting with...

I'm taking Eclair to the vet to get her checked properly since she's not eating and losing weight (and Donut will come with just for a check-up). My question is: how should I transport them to the vet? I don't have a car so I'll have to take the bus. Should I put them in small tubs, then in a...

After her last shed (a couple of days ago), a small dark brown spot has appeared on Eclair's elbow (she's a blizzard so she's otherwise white/yellow). It hasn't changed colour or size since we first noticed it. Any opinions on whether it's just pigment change with growth or something we should...

When I find an apartment and we settle in, I'd like to start breeding leos on a small scale. There aren't that many of them in Scotland and I want to create a business that focuses on healthy, happy geckos rather than just pumping them out for money and providing proper information about keeping...

I wanted to share a video I found, as it is a good example of impaction from sand without being graphic. It is however quite upsetting and obviously this gecko has more problems than just impaction. Video here I find it problematic that a lot of people think it's perfectly fine to start being...

I just got some new backgrounds and plants in, so I thought I'd share photos of the setups HERE! The leos tanks are VivExotic Repti-Stax Compact Vivarium Medium (mussel). They are 86cm long, 37.5cm deep and 42cm tall (34" x 15" x 16.5"). The UTHs cover half of the tank. Since the tanks are...

I have a few leopard gecko drawings on my tumblr if anyone wants to see :3 Stupid things ? ONCE IN A MILLION YEARS I do a draw But what is... Stupid things ? rate-my-reptile*how do the geck?! Stupid things ? I tried drawing a proper sausage from a reference... Stupid things ? Leopard gecko...

I thought I'd just warn people about these products, because they've been a serious issue for me; the Exo Terra products that come with a "clip system". I'll list what products I have with this and what the problems have been. Canopy Combo Dish - straight up fell down. Customer service reply...

One of my friends didn't know what to get my boyfriend, so I did some VERY loose sketches of the babies and she did the rest and look at how great it is!

What kind of dishes do you use for your arboreal lizards? Ones that hang or just sit on the ground? I'm asking because my Exo Terra Canopy Combo Dish fell down and now it won't stick back up and it's making me really apprehensive about putting it back up - I wouldn't want my garg to hurt himself :/

Oh my god, Donut is so noisy! Ever since we switched to tile, he's started digging so much! As shown in this photo, the left (cold) corner is still covered with beech chips as there's nowhere around that cuts tiles. It's not like he dislikes the tile, he spends the entire evening flopped down...

I'm wondering how everyone else is "handling" their silkworms? We have real problems with the tubs getting too humid and the worms then dying. Last week I had two tubs of 25 silkworms, now I have 2 tubs probably containing 10...
