Having observed that there are only few breeders of reptiles as companion animals near where I live, I've come to find that for a lot of the species I'd consider purchasing, I would need to do through online purchase. Pointed out to me by parents though, moving an animal from a...

Ever since October 16th, when I last cleaned out my leopard gecko's terrarium, I noticed his tail was getting thin, at first I went about as usual to see if it would resolve itself on its own, but it didn't, and then he began to refuse food, which lead to a fecal test being done at the nearest...

-Snip- So, my marine biology teacher's snowflake moray eel somehow got itself in the filter, how could it have gotten in there? Edit: Today, it was revealed that the eel had crawled up into the filter on its own (though apparently would have otherwise been trapped in their, just that it wasn't...

Today, I've been searching far & wide for a "wall-walker" gecko that resembles a leopard gecko in terms of size, temperature demands, and diet - is there such a gecko that's at least semi-available in captivity? The closest thing I can find is the Velvet geckos, but I haven't come across enough...

What exactly separates "diplodactylinae" geckos from the "gekkoninae" subfamily? I've tried examining popular examples of diplodactylinae & gekkoninae both, but other than noting differences in pupil design & claw development, I can't find any visible differences between the 2 subfamilies. Are...

In reference to the rage over wild-type, wild-caught animals, and the obsession with highly mutated animals, I shall post a picture of a normal (Why is it not called wild-type?) domestic Eublepharis macularius! This animal happens to be my beloved, one and only leopard gecko. What wild-type...

I've come into confusion regarding African fat tailed geckos; are these the kind of creatures which do best in a high-humidity environment, or are humid dens what African fat tail geckos do best with? The various caresheets I've read don't clearly state which of the two types of humidity...

I know that among crested geckos, buck-skins are generally considered the color variant that the animals were originally imported with, and I wonder; what sort of colors did gargoyle geckos originally import with? Some accounts I've seen say marbled pattern, but that doesn't say anything about...

I come from the mysterious land known as 'Gulfport, Mississippi'. Seriously. California & Florida seem to have everything related to reptiles, and all the other states have been left in the dust. :scratchhead: Anyways... :lol: I'm obviously here because I'm interested in geckos, though on...
