    It's my first winter with Lola

    Alright, so - its been a while. I haven't needed help, but...now I do. Recently our whether finally changed to "winter" (remember, its AZ, so our "cold" is 50 er so). My boyfriend and I are a little eco freakish and we don't really use heat in our house - just blankets. :) SO - our temps...

    Thinking about a new enclosure....

    Currently - my female leopard gecko is in a 20 L tank and my male is in a 10gallon - both have repticarpet, a log hide on the cool side and shell looking hides on the warm sides. I was recently wandering around the reptile isles at Petsmart, just looking, and I found a Herp Habitat by Lee's...

    Which stages are edible?

    I've been searching the pages, but haven't found an answer yet..... Can leopard geckos eat mealworms, the white alien things AND the beetles? Just the mealworm...?? What about dubia? Can leopard geckos eat the large females? Thank you!

    feeders make me resent my geckos... :(

    I'm so sad....the drama of my feeders has made me consider finding them a better home.... Lola and Tony won't eat crickets anymore (too traumatized by their previous owner always dumping 30 crickets in at once), so we do meal worms and super worms. I could barely handle the crickets - they...

    How long between clutches?

    Okay, so some of you may know that I got Leopard Geckos from a kid at school (I'm a teacher) in March. Tony and Lola were given to me in one 20 gallon tank - over spring break I separated them to prevent any (more) mating and stress on Lola. Around the middle of April, Lola laid her first...

    Am I right, or did I miss something?

    Alrighty, so you may know that Lola and Tony's baby (Emma) now belongs to one of my students. His mom called me this morning with some questions about Emma not eating. Here's what my advice was for her concerns - can you all check them over and see if I was right or if I may have missed...

    Removing eggs from the lay box...

    Okay, so...Lola laid her SECOND clutch of eggs last night - I found them when I came to school this morning and she was half the size she was when I left her last night (one of the eggs is HUGE). The original clutch went home with a student who had gone home and told his mom we were going to...

    Giant mealworms vs. Mealworms

    So, I headed back to PetsMart this weekend to buy another tub of mealworms and I got to thinking - "Geez, this is the second tub this week...." Then I remembered reading a post about overfeeding... (I didn't want to post on that thread because it had gotten a little hostile...) I was just...

    Help!! I think she's in trouble!!

    I posted this on an old thread about egg binding, but I was worried someone wouldn't see it in time, so I re-posted as a new thread... Sorry if that's not how it's done, I'm desperate! I think Lola is gravid because I caught her and Tony mating before I was able to separate them (I was given...

    Ideal Humidity?

    What is the ideal humidity for leopard geckos? As I've been discussing in the other threads I've posted, and some of you have expressed concern about it - the coconut fiber substrate I'm using has a seriously different effect on the humidity levels in the tank in comparison to the sand that...

    Are they trying to get out?

    What's with trying to crawl up the side of the cage?? I thought Lola just wanted to get away from Mr. Gecko, but then he started doing it in his own cage, and she kept doing it even though she was alone. What am I doing wrong??:?

    Compressed coconut fibers??

    Okay, so I found a store called Arizona Reptile Center and drove 20 minutes to see the reptile guys because Petsmart and PetCo just weren't doing it for me. They really only sell sand for geckos (in many colors!) and I just can't have sand after all I've read. I WAS going to go with the...
