Last nights my Leopard Gecko Ziggy passed away and I’m not entirely sure what happened. She is the first pet I have ever lost and I am devastated. I inherited Ziggy from a friend who could no longer care for her several months ago, at that point she was in a 10 gallon tank feeding only on...

Hello all, it's been awhile since I have been on GU! I am considering getting another gecko, more specifically Nephrurus levis levis, however this isn't critical to my question, I am more concerned with substrate, which would be sand. However after research I am struggling to figure out the...

She does look large and possibly is a giant! Have you tried healthier insects such as crickets or Dubia? Mealworms and supers tend to be harder to digest and quite fatty which will add to her weight. They are also not the best staple diet. I don't think it would hurt her to loose a few grams...

I haven't heard much about everyone here and I think it would be lovely to hear about your first Leo or other gecko. Feel free to share any stories you have, learning experiences, close calls, memorable moments, your first gecko, etc. I want to hear it all! Our story...

October 21st is the day I have adopted another gecko into my little family of reptiles. This is my new baby who is unnamed as of now: My birthday is November third but this was the weekend we could pick him/her up! My setup is very simple, a 20 Long with 3 hides, a water bowl, plant, UTH and...

If you haven't found any I found these at Home Depot! They are heavy enough not to tip, glazed inside and vary in sizes and color. Although I would say a bit pricey for what they are. But I feel this may be a good option!

Day Two - [8/18/2017] Leopard Geckos - Arcalis & Lizzie They haven’t slept at all during the car ride, currently they seem to be pretty active! I have found putting it paper towels a bit pointless as they just crawl under them, no poop or messes makes my job a lot easier though! :biggrin...

Moving With a Mini Zoo! Hello everyone! I’m in the process of moving from Utah to Western New York, and thought I would share the journey. A few months before this move I searched the internet and found an underwhelming amount of sources dealing with driving their animals cross country. This...

Hello! I definately agree with Zux on the lights! If I do a naturalistic viv I will probably copy your substrate mixture. Unrelated but I do love Marimos! I own a few succulents and an airplant, everything else I am not as good with... (I may be killing my bonsai...) As for cables, this tank...

Thank you! The calcium cap can stay in there while the Leo is a juvenile, but I wouldn't reccomend it when he/she becomes an adult, an overdose is plausible when a Leo has free access to the calcium. I reccomend a schedule such as this; Weekly Schedule for Leopard Geckos 12 months old & under...

What a good thing to do, I am sure it would have died in those woods without your help! Your setup sounds pretty good, with a few minor tweaks it should be perfect. I will offer what help I can! Firstly, the gecko does not need light as long as they have access to the following; •Indirect...

Welcome Emma and Athena! I think that is impaction, I occationally see dark spots on stomachs when geckos digest food, pass waste or just organs. But it is very concerning when her entire midsection is a blotch. Even if it isn't impaction, better be safe then sorry. Have you exhibited her...

Thanks for a response! Your gecko needs more hides, the minimum for one gecko is 3. A warm DRY hide, a cool DRY hide and a MOIST warm hide. You can make more hides simply out of opaque margarine containers with a hole cut in them, make sure to have no sharp edges. The multilevel hide, while...

Hey~ I thought I would share a very easy way that I breed mealworms as buying them can get expensive over time. Before this, I had no success breeding in small containers, it was just an overall messy process. It was made by a friend of mine and I added onto it, more containers, etc. Hopefully...

After many failed attempts at breeding crickets I have made the transition to Roaches! I picked up 100 nymphs as feeders and 20 mature females and 10 males for $40. A few were already carrying babies and I just had some born as you can see in the photo! I want to make sure I will have success...

Hello! This is a good idea and something I wish I did! Here is my girl's tank, Arcalis and Lizzie; To maximize space since I have two geckos, I used a three level (Or four as they sometimes manage to get on the very top) hide and a hammock which they go on top of and under more often! I tend...

Hello again! I recently discovered this little art area and decided that I would post some art since I am an artist! The first is a little sketch of my little girl Lizzie, she pressed herself against the glass so I snapped a photo to use as reference. I am still young and hoping to improve upon...

Your little one is quite adorable, I love how each and every Leo has unique and diverse facial features! These are my girls Arcalis and Lizzie! The variation is in the amount of spots (Lizzie having more and Arc having less!), hopefully you can see in the photos! I am excited to see all the...

Your gecko is sexually mature, males will have large bulges at the base of the tail or in your case where the tail would have been. There will also be a well defined V-shape of pores just above the vent. Something such as this; I would say yours is female!

Hello! Another thread and quite early in relation to when I am moving, though I want to prepare for moving early on to ask any questions and purchase anything I will need. I live in Utah as of now, we are moving to rural New York in order to be with family and start our own farm in the country...
