Does anyone know if there is a way to gutload feeders with whole foods to pass all the needed nutrients to leopard geckos? Can D3 be done that way, too? Are there any guidelines for providing leopard geckos with a certain amount of UVB? Has anyone come up with a meal plan for feeders to provide...

I'm just making this thread to have a discussion about the common misconceptions about health and disease related topics and have a healthy debate about the credibility behind a lot of the claims. Leaving D3 in the tank 1. D3 poisoning - any documented cases? If so, what was the husbandry like...

I'm looking for a good substrate to provide a laying box and also hold moisture enough to properly hydrate eggs. The only issue is I don't want to use Vermiculite because of the risk of poisoning the adults that might be using the box. Right now I am using sphagnum moss, but it dries out very...

Just wanted to let everyone know I discovered "Life in Cold Blood" on Hulu, and they also have a little bit about Leopard Geckos :)

A guide to keeping leopard geckos in a natural vivarium Note: It is beyond the scope of this care sheet to include options of other husbandry styles. It is meant as a husbandry option in itself, not the one true way to take care of leopard geckos. This care sheet is not for those who are not...

Is anyone using the Exo Terra sand mat? If so, how do you like it? Is it easy to clean? Do you have any safety precautions you've noticed? How is it with a UTH? I'm just curious about it :)

Since my last field herping trip, I've learned a lot about why it was such a blunder. Thought I would share some info for other NM herpers. Please check with the NM game and fishing laws to be sure what you are doing where you are doing it is legal. This is a guide, not legal advice. Information...

Are there any banded gecko breeders (Texas or Tucson type) or specific places to buy them? I'd be interested in picking some up locally in New Mexico, although I haven't heard of any here. I saw that Aliza breeds them. If you're reading this Aliza, could you let me know if you have any available...

I am planning a day trip tomorrow to go field herping in search of the Texas Banded Gecko :) I'll take tons of pictures! Any tips for a newbie?

How old is your oldest leopard gecko? Just curious!

What supplements does everyone use and how do you use them? I'm just curious as to what people use, not looking for a debate of the best method.

Hey all, I'm reading a book about prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of parasites. I came across some interesting facts: 1. Crypto currently affects 30-50% of leopard geckos 2. Cleaning up poop often goes a long way to preventing parasites from breeding in your enclosure 3. Parasites can be...

Today I noticed Mischief digging to hunt a worm that had tried to escape. I just thought it was really cool. She dug it out and ate it :) Does anyone else notice their geckos digging to get food?

Does anyone do a vertical heat gradient? I am considering adding more levels of hides to my tank, but as I do that, the lower levels will become less accessible for me to capture their temperature. I am thinking if the hides are well closed off, the heat will be shared better between them. I...

The cutest thing in the world is a gecko yawn... so adorable. I love watching them wake up. :coverlaugh:

How would you go about minimizing the risks of wild caught insects if you collected them from your own backyard and never fertilized or used pesticides or any other chemicals? (I have chickens, so that's not an option). I have a series of questions for anyone willing to take a crack at them...

I was wondering where everyone is coming up with the exact surface and air temperature and humidity recommendations. Is there a source for these recommendations or is it just by experience? Why is the low threshold chosen (humidity and temp)? Is there an exact temperature that is considered too...
