    Eublepharis hardwickii temperament

    What is the temperament of Eublepharis hardwickii like, compared to the standard leopard gecko? Someone told me that they are very placid, like the African fat tailed gecko. I've never had hardwickii, so I'm wondering if this is accurate. With respect to husbandry and breeding, do they have any...

    Moldy eggs

    I am having issues with my African fat tail eggs molding and shriveling within a few days of being laid. What could be some possible causes? They are on coconut fiber, slightly damp, mid 80's f. I haven't had this problem with Leopard gecko or Coleonyx eggs. Any ideas?

    Looking for suggestions for paludarium geckos

    I am looking for suggestions for species for my paludarium. I am looking for geckos that are arboreal, enjoy high humidity, and are medium sized- smaller than tokays, larger than house geckos. Any thoughts?

    Looking for gecko ideas

    I have a large paludarium with lots of plants, water, humidity, branches, hide-outs, etc. All I have in there for geckos are Mourning geckos. I would like to add another species of about the same size. I thought about day geckos, but I wonder if they are too territorial. Any suggestions for an...

    Standing's care

    Can Standing's day geckos be kept in groups? Can two males coexist in a large 4' by 8' enclosure? Do they require daily misting or a fogger, or will they drink standing water? I am considering these for my paludarium.

    Gargoyle gecko incubation

    Are Gargoyle geckos temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD)? I have read conflicting information online, and am hoping to hear from experienced breeders of this species. Also, a breeder mentioned to me that he rarely hatches males. Is this a common problem?

    Need suggestions for floating plants

    I need suggestions for floating plants to put in my paludarium. The paludarium is 4' x 8' x 6' tall. The lighting is 3' or so above the surface of the water, and appears to be sufficient for the terrestrial plants. However, I have tried water hyacinth and water lettuce, and I can't keep them...

    Paludarium geckos

    I have constructed a large (4' x 8' x 6') tropical paludarium. It is a heavily planted, humid, community enclosure. Yes, I intend to mix species. It needs geckos, and I am trying to decide what species to keep. I like Lined day geckos, and not having kept this species before, I have a few...

    Species compatibility in a community paludarium

    I have built a large (4' x 8' x 6' high) paludarium. It is heavily planted, and warm and humid. I intend to put some arboreal geckos in there. I am considering flying geckos, and lined day geckos. Do you think these species are compatible? Do you think the two species would fight with each...

    Geckos for community paludarium

    I am in the process of building a large (4' x 8' x 6' high) paludarium. It will be heavily planted, and warm and humid. I intend to put some arboreal geckos in there. I frequently see references to males of the same species fighting; but what about males of different species? I realize most...
