We received our first online order of crickets yesterday afternoon. All arrived safely, and as far as I can tell alive - I dumped the box into a garbage bag and then moved the crickets from there into their temporary home to avoid losing them all over the bathroom. A few weeks ago, my son moved...

Argh. What was forecast as a fairly minor event knocked our power (and to be fair that of about 300,000 others in central NC) out. Ours went out at 3:15 this morning. When the school system called at 6:15 to cancel schools, I checked the temps in the gecko tank and they were down to 69 - 70...

I saw this hide last night when I went out to buy a fresh bag of bugs (crickets). It is a beautiful hide, but the 'crystal' surface inside is very rough to the touch, and I would worry about it scratching a gecko. Has anyone used this or seen it in person. I like the hides that we can view...

My mighty hunter (not!) attempted to strike at her Phoenix worm last night. Each time she struck, the worm went sliding across the slate tile... After the third strike, she turned her nose up at it - until I offered it back on the tongs. May need to think about putting down some paper towel in...

Miss Goldie http://www.geckosunlimited.com/community/leopard-geckos-general-info-intros-pics/73574-introduction-goldie-speedie.html stopped eating sometime December. In January & February - she had three vet visits for a double eye infection and her anorexic behaviors - so since mid January...

Not to be left out, Ms. Speedie - aka the Gecko Air Fern... And their new tank set-up, a work in progress. They lived in an Exo-Terra 18x18 for the first 17 months we owned them. I recently obtained the 20 gallon long, but would like to get them an Exo-Terra 36x18 (hoping that Repticon has good...

I've taken more pictures of Goldie recently as she is my medically fragile gecko. The laptop shot was taken on "take your lizard to work day" after her second vet appointment. The overhead shot about 10 days later. I've also got pictures from this month of her leg bump and her underbite -...

Sorry to take so long on the photos. Got waylaid by a hockey tournament... The picture with the tree was taken back in October 2012 soon after they moved in with us. I like the way the flash highlighted Speedie's gloves (she is on the branch) and the areas where they need to finish shedding...

Okay - this may be a silly question but here goes. When choosing the appropriate size of the feeder - that should be smaller than the distance between their eyes - are we looking at the length or width of the feeder? The crickets I have right now are about a quarter inch long (Petsmart Small...

About 10 days ago, I moved the girls (Goldie & Speedie) into a 20 gallon long tank. They have a slate substrate, temp on floor inside the warm/dry hide ranges 87-92 degrees. At 4 inches about 88 on the warm side and 73 on the cool side. UTH is on a zoo med thermostat (not my favorite tool but...

Hi all, I've been reading the forum for several months now, and figure it is time to come in from lurkdom. Admittedly, the more I read, the more convinced I am that dumb luck has kept our girls in reasonable condition. Labor Day weekend 2012 we picked out two older juvenile females at the...
