I haven't been here in a while, but thought I'd pop in with an update and a couple of questions.... Finally got Randall upgraded to a 20L tank, with a tile floor (he kept getting his teeth caught on the carpet, and had started pulling it up and I was afraid he was going to get stuck under it)...

Randall has been here for about 11 weeks now. Seems to be doing well, still has a big appetite and I think would eat as many crickets as we would give him. He still does not seem to want to be handled, though. He does not seem scared of us, as he will tolerate our hands in the tank for...

We have had Randall for 4 weeks now. He seems to be doing well, and is a little piggy! My daughter is afraid to let him eat as much as he wants, and usually gives him 6 or 7 small crickets or a few crickets and a couple mealworms each day; he would eat more. He will come up into her hand to...

I love the look of some of the desert landscapes people have made using foam and mortar, and more importantly how it gives the gecko more usuable space and a more natural habitat. I would like to try somthing like this at some point, but I have a few questions/concerns. (1) Is this something...

Randall has been here for two weeks and seems to be doing okay. Finally have his tank all set up with a UTH with thermostat (though I am not happy with the thermostat's performance at all, temps are ranging anywhere from 82 to 93, so I am trying to decide on a replacement), warm hide, cool hide...

Which do you prefer, and why? We installed an UTH on my daughter's gecko tank last night with a thermostat, but I am not thrilled with the thermostat. First of all the probe is bigger than I had expected, and the calibration is completely off. I had to turn it down to what it says is a...

Here's a picture of Randall (named after the Monsters, Inc. character). She didn't think to ask them how old he was. I haven't tried to get a weight, but he is about 4-1/2" long from nose to tail and still has juvenile markings. He is a pretty good hunter already. Any guesses as to...

Does it matter what time of day you feed your gecko? My daughter got one the other day, and it happened to be be the late afternoon/early evening when she fed him both days. He ate fine and seems to be a pretty good little hunter, but I was wondering if it was better to feed them at night...

My teenage daughter came home with a leopard gecko she bought on impulse yesterday. I could strangle her because she did no research on it before hand, and just relied on the Petsmart employee to tell her what she needed & how to care for it (shudder). So, I have tried to do some research...
