I have a friend who lives on Oahu, Hawaii and she's trying to find out what it is. She says they see many of them a day, and she's mostly worried it might be poisonous if her youngest catches one (although I'm sure he'll cause more damage than the gecko....).

There are care sheet stickys in other species (breeds?) forums....but I don't see one for AFT's. Anyone know of a good/reliable site for a care sheet?

I got a new leo a few months back from some friends...they bought it at a local pet store. Every now and again I've noticed that s/he'll "rearrange" one of the hides. There's a humid hide on one end, and I made a makeshift hide out of the carrier box they brought it to me in on the other side of...

My sister got this plant from her sister-in-law, no one seems to know what it is. If anyone has a clue or an idea where I could find the answer, muchly appreciated!!

Hey all!! Got my second leo this past Tuesday (got my first a little over two years ago, and got an AFT last year). It's just a tiny little squirt, eats well (better at hunting the crickets down than my older leo ;-) ), feisty as all get out, and was courageous enough to touch my finger with...

My leo Skiz is about 2 years old and this is the second time she's gone on a "feeding strike". She won't eat. Anything. She LOVES superworms and won't touch them....crickets aren't apetizing either. I don't remember for sure when she did this last...but she was digging around in both of her...

I've had my fattie for about 3 months, got him from someone who didn't want to take care of him. He eats well (crickets, with calcium added at least once a week) and as far as I can tell is in good health. But he's clumsy. He kind of wobbles when he walks...almost like he's constantly off...

Hey, So last week (I don't remember what day) my leos infrared lamp died. She does have a UTH, but I know she got pretty chilled between then (her tank probably got down to about 50-60 F) and when I could get a new bulb today (less than 7 days...but I don't remember exactly). Do leos go into...

Hey! I just got an AFT (I already have a leo). Hopefully I'll get pics up for you soon. My friend gave it to me because she was tired of taking care of it. She's had it for 3 years, got it at a pet shop (she couldn't actually remember). The vivarium (40 gal. tall) was in pretty bad shape...moldy...

I'm just wondering where I could look/who I could ask about breeding crickets. I've looked around at a few different things and for some reason can't find much info. I know it's out there somewhere :? I'm getting my second gecko this next week and am tired of constantly going to buy...

Hey! I've had my leo for just over a year, and she's always been really good about being held and letting me pet her. Lately she's been digging a lot in her substrate (I use a fine sand, and check her frequently to make sure she's not impacted [which she never is]) and the last time I tried to...

Hi! I am about to take a fat-tailed desert gecko (I'm assuming it's the same as an African fat-tailed) from someone who doesn't think they can care for it the way it deserves (props to them for recognizing it). I already have a leo and know that they can't be housed together. But I've never...

First off, I've heard all the arguments both for and against sand. Please don't start them up here. Does using a UTH with sand effect how the heat distributes/or how it heats in general?

Ok, so I changed out the repti-carpet in my tank today, decided to see if Skiz (who I found out is a girl!) would let me hold her. And she did!!! Ok, so it was more the only option she had for getting out of the tank, but she did really well, just kinda sat there and looked around. Before, I...

I've had this leo for just short of a month. No idea what he/she is genetics-wise. Any info would be nice! http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_D2yo5Ew7HmU/Smy39hF1_OI/AAAAAAAAAX4/VQmFTy_pyd4/s1600/7_226_09%2B005.jpg

I can't even catch my leo to take him/her out for a substrate change (or to figure out if it's a he/she) or anything. Anyone have a guestimate on how long it takes to hand train a leo? I usually use a toilet paper roll and "push" him/her into it, block both ends, and that's how I catch him. But...

I got a leo this past Tuesday, a surprise birthday present so I wasn't able to set up the vivarium ahead of time. I've read about how the tank needs to be humid (still working on getting a humid hide set up), and I know the leo is a desert gecko...is there a % that can be used as a general rule...

Hi! I got a leopard gecko just this past Tuesday. He (or she) is eating well, still just crickets although I did pick up some mealworms tonight. One of the main questions I have: a friend who had a leopard gecko said he had to cut the heads off the mealworms. Is this something I need to do? I'm...
