    Panther gecko genetics

    I have a genetics question. If a visual amel and a visual anery bred the result would be double het for amel and anery, right? If that double het was bred to a visual amel, what would the resulting babies be? Thanks for any info anyone can provide!

    Helmeted Geckos and racks and housing pairs together?

    I've read that hatchlings of T. chazaliae are rather delicate, and being new to rack systems for keeping hatchling geckos and still on the fence regarding whether or not I like it, I'm just wondering what others think about racks for this species? Also should the male be seperated from the...

    Sceloporus minor info?

    I've been eyeballing a pair of these but can't find much info on them. What should the basking temp be? Do they prefer sand or soil? Or a mix? Do they dig? Does the female need anything special when she has her babies, such as a hide with more space than usual inside? Do the babies need to be...

    Reptile keeping and pregnancy

    I did a search but didn't find anything so I hope I'm not bringing up something that has an answer. I just found out I'm pregnant and I'm wondering about risks associated with the hobby that might affect pregnancy? I'm aware of the risk of salmonella but I don't typically hold my lizards and...

    Unexpected (ish) T. gracilis egg, what do I do now?

    Hi, so I have my pair and really I was expecting eggs one day, in the future, but not yet. I thought the male was too young and they never hide together so I didn't think they were paired up yet. Today though I came into the lizard room and found this egg though, it looks like it was pushed out...

    First ever satanic leaftail hatchlings!

    Well it's been a few weeks, and they're both eating so I'm feeling better about their odds! The one has red bumps on him though, is that just part of his pattern?

    First ever satanic leaftail hatchlings!

    These little cuties hatched out last night. Neither made it out of his shed on his own, I managed to pull everything but the upper front legs off one, and the head off the other, who had managed to get his own tail and toes off. I figure what's left is just on his body, and split down the back...

    T. gracilis has made quite the underground network, should I worry?

    I have a pair of Red Eyed Croc skinks, the male is still a little young to breed though. They've pretty much set up on opposite sides of the tank from one another and stick to their half of the tank. I use ABS pipes cut lengthwise as hides for them, but am concerned because the female has dug...

    New additions!

    Just got these little guys a couple days ago! They still seem a little stressed from shipping but seem to be settling in. I usually like my geckos natural looking but I'm loving the colors! Also a big thanks to CSM Gecko, Cory was fantastic and I'm so happy with my new little guys! :biggrin:

    The secret to catching escapees!

    I just had a new clutch of gold dust day geckos hatch. They hatched one day apart, which was fortunate because it gave me time to further modify the hatchling enclosure for the second one, as the first one escaped! I assumed the first one was going to be toast, as they face such a risk of drying...

    Laying frequency?

    I have a pair of gold dust day geckos and I'm wondering about laying frequency. She laid 2 eggs July 4, then 1 July 17, then I didn't find any until yesterday, August 10. Before she laid her first couple I was worried she was hiding them on me, because I thought she would have started laying in...

    Wild Hawaiian Good Dust

    I went to Hawaii recently and got to see gold dusts in a natural urbanized setting, it was pretty cool. We managed to get a couple to sit in one place for a photosoot by bribing them with strawberries. Sadly, I think I've seen more of these guys than my pair at home! Wild Gold Dust Day Gecko...

    WC P. masobe, bad idea?

    Hello, There are some P. masobe floating around right now, based on their condition I think it's safe to say they're wild caught. I was told they're eating and saw the poop to prove it, but they're still quite thin. I'm seriously considering these guys but am not sure whether or not I should do...

    New satanic!

    Hello! This is my first ever leaftail, and after much searching (apparently stores here pretty much never get them in) I found this little girl. I'm pretty sure she's WC but seems to be adjusting well. I was wondering if you guys could tell me if you think she looks healthy? I think she's...

    Exo Terra's and tarantulas?

    I did some reading about tarantulas and read that they can make short work of screen and mesh. I have a Gooty Sapphire Ornamental (P. metallica) and an A. versicolor and when they're big enough I had planned to move them into 12"x12"x18" Exos. Does anyone else keep their Ts in these? Are they...

    Gold dust update

    Awhile ago I posted questions about a pair of P. laticauda I was wanting to get. After quarantining them for about a month in a smaller tank while I finished the interior of their permanent home I moved them into the big enclosure. They're still super skittish and I have to sneak around the...

    Clearly I'm doing something wrong with these eggs

    So I've found 2 batches of eggs that I've tried removing, but both times a couple days after removing them they'd crumple then mold. I assumed they weren't good to begin with because when I opened them they were just full of brown goo. Out of desperation more than anything else I decided to let...

    Polychrus Marmoratus info?

    Today I found one of these and I'm in love. So I have questions. 1. Is the 18"x18"x24" tall exo terra ok for one animal, or is that too small? 2. I've read that hydration is huge with these guys, especially new arrivals. This one is in rough shape. Her eyes are just slightly sunken and her...

    Holy behavior!

    Just an update, I got my pair (fingers crossed anyway, they're just at the right age, so I hope my "female" doesn't start looking like a boy!) of gold dusts and they seem to be settling in nicely. These are my first ever day geckos and I now see what everyone is talking about with their...
