    LF's new digs

    I was granted a rare LF sighting today She is, by far, the shyest gecko in my collection. She is the mother of the baby, Rio, and is contrary to the rule that adults relish the taste of their young. I am coming to believe that geckos do have personality and she is simply lonesome. She...

    LF's new digs

    LF and Rio have new neighbors, thus making me an official frogger. 1 female and 2 male Bronze-Backed Mantella. The female is noticeably larger and, to my unpracticed eye, looks gravid. Man...these guys are like vacuum cleaners when fed fruit flies. Any concerns that they would remain at the...

    LF's new digs

    L.F. has officially moved in. I chose to make the move at bed-time when she was in her bamboo. Easiest gecko wrangling yet!:D Moss seems to be coming on well, all orchids have been remounted to the background. Time for it to grow. Now about the vacant enclosure....everyone knows that an empty...

    LF's new digs

    It has been nearly a year now since I began keeping lined day geckos. Of the original pair, I lost the male about a month after I started. He, however, did his job and the female (known as Momma) began laying eggs. Enter LF Soon after birth after recapture (and shortly before re-escape)...

    First Time Day Gecko Keeper

    Welcome to GU. I own a trio of lined-day geckos, which have similar needs. They are currently housed in a pair of 18x18x24 exo-terras. I live in Minneapolis, so I can relate to the need of supplemental heat. I use 100 watt ceramic fixtures in DIY brackets, hooked up to programmable thermostat...

    Update on the gang

    I have made progress on the Madagascar biotype tank. I decided to build a rack to hold both of the 18x18x24 tanks, as well as the 36x36x18 tank. I wanted them to be at a comfortable height and I wanted the tops at the same height. At some point, I want to build a cover for masking lighting and...

    My Little Guys' Home(s?)

    Update There has been some sad news since my last post. The male continued his wooing of his mate. He was active, had great color, was slurping Pangea like crazy......and then was found dead. The eggs never did hatch, my fault...I left them in the tank too long and they had rolled, I believe ...

    Romancing Geckos

    I feel like a voyeur. The happy couple has been quite active this weekend. The female has pretty much abandoned her basking area and moved into the male's territory. The following shots were shot over about a 5 minute frame of time. The female has been changing color like a traffic...

    Getting friendly with each other

    I am enjoying watching my pair of P. lineata. After introducing my two lined day geckos to their new home, there was establishment of territory. The male set up the left side of the enclosure, under the puck light and UVB. The female could be found on the computer fan that provides air...

    A guy with funny looking frogs

    I used this title for my Dendroboard post and liked it.....so there. It has been a little over a week since I received my little guys. It has been an interesting week. I purchased them with the request of a male and female, not being certain that was what I would receive. Eggs appeared two days...

    My Little Guys' Home(s?)

    I thought that it would be nice if I were to show the vivaria were my P. lineatus were being housed. This is the current setup where both are housed. I will likely that they will need to be split as I am noting some increasing aggression. This will become the home for the first to be...

    Here's lookin' at you, Kid!

    Thank you, Elizabeth. These are lined geckos. They are beginning to be a little more bold, I just added them to my orchidarium, the fungus gnat population has diminished considerably. It seems that licking Anthurium is popular
