Hello gecko community! I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this post, but I couldn't find a better place... I'm wondering if anyone in the Los Angeles area feeds Dubia Roaches to their gecko? I am interested in trying them out for my little leopard gecko, but I don't want to buy...

Hello and welcome! I highly recommend leopard geckos. I have one, and he's my first pet (exotic or otherwise) and I absolutely adore him. My only 'warning' is that if you're looking for a pet to cuddle with and handle a lot, a leopard gecko would not be the pet to get. They tolerate...

Hopefully, this is an acceptable place to make this post (couldn't really find anywhere else that it would go). Anyways, my power just went out about 30 minutes ago. Luckily, it came back on after only a minute, but it got me thinking - how can I keep my leo warm during a power outage? I'm in...

Hi Everyone, Next up on my list of improvements to make for my little Reggie: variety in his diet. He's only had crickets for almost 4 years now. I tried mealworms over the summer, and he ate one, but never again. He won't go near them, even if I leave them in a dish inside the tank all day...

Hi everyone, So my little leo, Reggie, has always pooped on a regular basis - usually every 2 days. However, I haven't seen a new poop in about a week. He uses the same corner every time, but I've been checking the whole tank just in case he changed his spot, but he hasn't. Everything has...

Hi all, I have a very basic, 20 gallon long set up for my leo (can post a pic later) with paper towel as a substrate, 3 hides, and a large hollow piece of bark that he likes to run through. I've been looking at all the amazing work on here and am super inspired! However, I have some...

hi Cricket - that was my thought, as well; that heat would be lost. I'll just use my metal frame. I got a 40W CHE to start. I actually have 2 metal clamp lamp frames - this one is the 5.5", but I do also have a 10", which is what I've been using for the heat lamp. I just took a picture of...

hi Elizabeth, Here's a picture of the wire lamp device (?) that the CHE instructions recommend: Here are the instructions on the inside of the metal clamp lamp: Yes, I definitely wanted to get a separate thermostat for the CHE, I just wasn't sure if there was a difference between...

Can anyone tell me what morph my sweet little Reggie is? There's a tiny bit of red tint because I took these pics when his heat lamp was on. I could probably post better pics later, but I was just thinking about it, and I happened to have these on my phone. :) Thanks!

Elizabeth & Maniac, Thanks so much for all your great tips! I'll try just leaving the UTH on tonight without the overhead heat lamp and see how that goes. I'm also definitely going to try the fan and ice trick. Here's a couple pictures of my sweet little Reggie. I took these a few weeks...

I can heat it up, but he won't go near it. At all. He just sort of stares at the area when it gets hot. He's funny. Here's his poop: normal? Again- sorry for the quality. This is on the side of his moist hide, that looks like a rock.

The cool side is 78. His favorite hide is under the heat lamp, and he's in there most of the day. Here's a quick pic (my real camera is already packed - I'm moving next week). The heat lamp is mounted on the right side, the tank is 30L x 12W x 18H. The middle hide is the moist one, and the black...

More newbie questions... I inherited my leopard gecko a few months ago. The previous owner had him for 3 1/2 years, and that's about how old he is. I've been doing all the same things the previous owner was doing, but one by one, some of those things are of increasing concern to me. Here...

Hi Everyone, I recently 'inherited' a leopard gecko, and I absolutely adore him! :biggrin: I have a bunch of questions (I kind of feel like the new parent who brings their baby to the doctor when they sneeze) but here's the one I'm most worried about at the moment... I'm moving in the next...
