I made a survey on ZooMed’s Reptihabitat Leopard Gecko Kit. I want to see if I can try to convince them to make the kit in a way where more reptile keepers are willing to buy and/or recommend their kit to beginner reptile keepers. https://forms.gle/M7rmsLriVYbfXk2M6

“The authors do not, however, believe that keeping reptiles and amphibians presents a disproportionate burden on public health or animal welfare compared with that posed by the keeping of other companion animals. The authors therefore do not see any valid reasons to selectively restrict the...

I want to tell everyone why gut loading is not a simple process of just feeding the feeders any food before they go to the insectivore. It’s not even choosing high calcium fresh produce like collard greens, bok choy, mustard greens, or dandelion greens. Scientific studies suggest that gut...

Hello, you may remember my post of my leopard gecko’s 55 gallon bioactive enclosure. Well now I’m experimenting with a grow tent as her new enclosure upgrade. The grow tent is 6.5x5x5 ft, 78x60x60 inch, 198x152x152 cm, 1,215 gallon equivalent. The basking area is a 4x2 ft frame garden bed with...

Been posting this on Facebook but decided to share it here :biggrin:.

I found this humid hide on amazon through one of the threads here and I seriously think it’s overpriced for its size and shipping takes a long time where I’m at. So I’ve come up with the idea of getting a planting pot and putting a terra cotta saucer that’s big enough to fit on the top then...

Hello, I’ve been searching for calcium supplements that are just as good as Nutrobal vetark. So far ZooMed seems to be # 1 here in the US but it doesn’t have a long stick time like Nutrobal...

Hello! I've decided to create a thread dedicated to the methods and research of maintenance and gut-loading diets for feeder insects. Here's some literature that I've read: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27405009/ http://titag.org/2015/2015papers/attardcrickets.pdf...

Before I joined this forum I got an email from the breeder that Asia came from. They said that she looked to be a mac snow but I just don't know about that. Asia was sold as a pet only at the expo.

So I know it's not recommended here to supplement with Repashy calcium plus every feeding but what exactly would happen if one were to follow said directions on the bottle? has anyone experienced any negative reactions from their geckos doing this?

I don't know if this is "spring fever" or if something is wrong with my husbandry. Mae hasn't eaten for a while, last week I decided to syringe feed her. Besides her lack of eating she likes to explore her tank or sit out under the UVB light instead. She's active, alert and her urates have...

Its been happening ever since I decided to add crickets as a staple with the roaches which was a year and a half ago. They're just silent... should I be worried? I get them from Petsmart and sometimes Petco.

Hi I’ve been thinking about renaming my gecko before I joined GU. Her current name is Asia but it just doesn’t sound right to me for some reason. So far I’ve come up with: Fig Pip Zeno Chomper Bulma

Hi, before I joined the forum I found that more people were giving their leos UVB. At first I got a zoomed reptisun 5.0 compact UVB bulb but I heard that tube lights were better and so I purchased an 18 inch zoomed reptisun t8 5.0 tube light. Now that I do more research on this forum I see that...

Hi, I just joined here and recently I’ve made my own gut-load for all my feeders. I use small world rabbit pellets which contains: Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal, Wheat Middling's, Roughage Products, Soybean Meal, Feeding Oatmeal etc. 16% protein, 2.5% fat, fiber min 15% and max 20%, calcium min .50%...

Hi, my name is Digs as you can see from my profile. I’ve owned a leopard gecko named Asia for 2 years. In that period of time I’ve been simply looking around this forum for my info but now I decided to finally become a member. I’ve also got 5 aquariums and a dog.
