So this is a rather weird question since I know that females don’t normally eat while ovulating and I’ve been dealing with it from the other adult females. However, my young female who is between 11 and 12 months old started ovulating and she’s already a bit underweight. Not dangerously mind...

So, about a month and a half ago, my mother reported that my (at the time) ~8 month old gecko had stopped eating and was shedding excessively. Since I wasn’t at the house, I couldn’t really see what was happening, but I quickly realized that she was comparing the shed rate of the adults to the...

Hey guys! As the title says, I’m thinking of switching my male to ecoearth for a few reasons. One, he absolutely loves to dig, as the picture I’ve included shows. He’s also prone to bad sheds- much more than the other geckos I have. I really don’t know why this is, but he is a rescue and is...

So, my big female Firefly has recently developed armpit bubbles, and after weighing her recently, she’s come out to 101 grams, and while she is a big gecko (she’s like. 9 inches long), I’ve noticed that her belly is barely off the ground when she walks. I’ve completely cut her occasional...

Recently, my seven month old RAPTOR female has decided she doesn’t want to eat. This started about two weeks ago, but she was getting close to shedding so I wasn’t too worried. However, she finished shedding Thursday and still is refusing to eat. She ate a lot of her shed and she is pooping...

So with large superworms finally available in my area, my big female is finally able to eat her favorite food of all time- freshly molted superworms. Every time I find one, I feed it to her because she absolutely adores these things. I once did an experiment where I put a freshly molted...

Idk where this should go, but I was looking at my RAPTOR baby earlier and I noticed that a portion of one iris was grayish. She doesn’t seem to have any vision problems (aside from having to close her eyes if her overhead light is on- I stopped using said light early on, and not being able to...

So, I’m in shock right now. My little sister’s four month old or so gecko escaped early January. We spent hours looking for her to no avail. We kind of gave up on finding her again. Well, the day I leave town (so today) I got a call. They found her. She was trying to get into one of my geckos...

So my ultratherms just got in and I installed them (already working quite nicely) but right after I put one in, I heard a pop and I went to check on where I heard the pop and I saw that a nice sized crack had appeared on the bottom pane of glass. Now, I doubt it was the ultratherm since said...

My new baby RAPTOR is turning out to be quite the spider gecko. She’s taking a liking to a rock that sits at the back of her cave to provide a bit more security, and despite there being maybe a quarter inch of space between the rock and the glass, she will hide there (and sometimes get stuck if...

So, the three adult geckos I keep have been being a bit distracted as of late (with the male desperately rattling his tail and trying to get to the females) and aren’t eating. Now I know them not eating during breeding season is normal, so I’m not concerned there, but I am worried that they will...

I recently purchased a baby RAPTOR who is about 1-2 months old, and I was wondering what the average growth rate for them is. I have experience with raising a ~4 month old and he was significantly larger then compared to how Pearl (my new baby) is now. She came home yesterday and already has...

I went to my first reptile convention today with full intent to pick up a new gecko because I wanted a baby gecko who was healthy. And I found one! Meet Pearl! She’s 1-2 months old (the man who sold it couldn’t remember when it hatched). I made sure to look at the adults and they were nice and...

I recently bought a digital scale and have been weighing my geckos and I noticed that my adult male had lost a gram in a week. Is this a sign of something bad or just normal weight fluctuation? He hasn’t been eating all that much lately, though I’m not super concerned about a decreased appetite...

So, I am going to a reptile con next month and I’m going to be looking for a leucitic Leo because I really like that pattern. However, I was curious. What would happen if I bred a leucitic to my tangerine.

My geckos have recently decided how they’d let me know they’re hungry. And that is by giving me what I call the “Feed me” face. All of them do this, although only two of them actually come out of their hides to make sure I know they’re hungry. Do any of your guys gecko have a “feed me face...

Something I’ve noticed recently is that there seems to be a lot of mixed opinions as to whether or not it is a good idea to keep a dish of pure calcium in the tank. I’ve seen both sides of the argument and I personally lean towards the “It’s a good idea” side because I believe that, while they...

My juvenile gecko who had some stuck shed on his head the last time he shed has shed again, but this time his toes were still on. When removing the skin with a q-tip, I noticed a kink in one of his toes and realized that the skin there was thicker on the other toes. I’m afraid that I missed...

I’m trying to figure out what the best dusts to use are. I use herptivite, and zoomed rn, but I did just get some reptashy calcium plus dust in today (I bought it thinking it was gutloading stuff. It was not.) I want to use what would be considered the most nutritious for my babies, and I have...

In the seven months that I’ve owned a leopard gecko, I have come to learn that they are basically cats- heck, Illusion has actually chased the laser pointer that my temperature gun gives to tell me where I’m pointing. And like cats, they seem to have one single spot they really like. Some are in...
