I will be using a zilla mini combination fixture designed to use G9 base bulbs; a 6W UVB tube and a 25W halogen basking light. With our ambient temperatures the 25W basking light is producing more heat than I want and not exactly the best in terms of lumens as tested on my absolutely accurate...

I have a variety of reptiles; geckos, monitors, lizards, a few snakes, lots of insects, a rack or so of mice, a fish, and of course a pair of cats that couldn't be bothered with much more than expressing their distain for each other on a nightly basis, plus a few other random critters. All of...

Title says it all, found some older posts but curious if these guys made it here prior to Australia pulling out of exporting. If so who is keeping the flame lit as the saying goes? Maurice Pudlo

Anyone else produce these this season? I need a real camera by the way. Maurice Pudlo

It looks like I will be picking up at least 4 of these guys from a friend who on a whim purchased them at an out of state reptile show he was vending at. I have plenty of Lepidodactylus lugubris experience but none with Sphaerodactylus of any type. I am pretty sure I have the sexing method...

I'm looking at a project where a natural substrate is not desireable. Humidity must remain 50% static with daily bumps to 100%, ambient humidity in the enclosure is 30%. My usual method of humidity maintenance is via a multi layer substrate or paludarium type setup. That will not be...

So this fellow was attacked by who knows what but required sutures on the upper right side of the head and torso. Previous owner decided not to pay and surrendered it to my vet. I end up getting a call from a friend who also uses this vet asking if I would take it in as a rescue. Sure, why...

LiveLeak.com - Gecko Saves His Friend From Snake Sorry if this is a repost. Maurice Pudlo

Every once in a while I poke around looking for these with no luck at all. The owners of all of these red eyed beauties seem to be located well outside of US borders, see the link to another posr within this section of the forum...

Tuesday Tidbits Today’s tidbit of information is going to cover insect hydration and the effects it can have on your feeder insects. Insects are much like any other living thing, mostly water with a little bit of minerals, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and proteins tossed in for good measure...

I enjoy rearing my own feeder insects, it is rewarding in many ways one of which is that I get to experiment with different insect diets at my leisure. This week I purchased a food dehydrator and decided to dehydrate a number of fruits and vegetables with the intent being to create a unique dry...

I want to keep this opening comment as short and simple as possible, don't let that keep you from going into detail with your own replies though, I do plan to come back with more detail. I do not supplement on a schedule anymore based on the premise that every feeding should be nutritionally...

I purchased a 1.3 group of AFT's and need to get them through a week or two on a clean substrate. Damp paper towel is my current go to substrate while waiting for feces and any other issues to show up. for dry areas I have tile over the paper towel. Hides are warm humid and mid temp humid...

I'm putting this here as an alert to the new people out there and to some of you old ones too who have not experienced this in the past. A show I attended this past weekend had a group of shockingly red Leos for sale, I assumed something was up right away. Maybe that red calcisand stuff that...

I'm toying with breeding superworms without any sort of bedding, thus far I'm at the stage of raising already hatched tiny supers (reared the conventional bedding way) in a tub with no bedding at all. There are a couple of reasons I am interested in nailing down a process that will work; 1st I...

I've got an idea, just need to be sure. Maurice Pudlo

Sorry its not the best shot in the world but considering it a cell pic its not bad. Male up high, female just below. Maurice Pudlo

Title says it all, How common or uncommon are they? I'm able to find reduced pattern ones fairly easy, but have yet to run across the red-eye types in my little neck of the woods. If anyone has tracked which importers they have come in with that would be very nice to know as it might help...

This is not my gecko, the original picture can be found at: Underground Reptiles, Inc. - Geckos Again this one isn't mine, the original belongs to underground reptiles as well. They have it listed as Skeleton Gecko, and of course when Google needs to be your friend it kind of dumps on you...
