If it were me, as far as substrate, measure the EXACT measurement of the inside floor of your tank (double-check and make sure you're accurate), then go to Lowes or Home Depot and pick yourself out a nice ceramic tile (NOT shiny tile though, as it will be too slippery for your gecko to walk on)...

This guy still has the Arcadia lamps and extra bulbs. I've been using this size on my long tank for years. I place it on the tank lid over the warm hide. Links: Arcadia Shade Dweller D3 7% UVB T5 Bulb + Fixture 12" Arcadia Shade Dweller D3 7% UVB T5 Bulb replacement

I saw a couple of them in a Mom'n'Pop pet store one time. They were in a long horizontal tank. I asked the guy about them. For whatever reason, he opened the lid and the geckos took off like lightning across the tank. It was like they just instantly disappeared. I couldn't believe how fast they...

A video taken of Scooby-Doo last year. He's a movie star! https://rumble.com/v46tghf-scooby-doo-on-the-loose.html

Scooby-Doo was born on 5/9/17...he'll be 8 years old next month. I bought him on 1/20/18 at a Repticon, at Timonium Fairgrounds, in Baltimore, MD. He was labeled as a "Tangerine Carrot-Tail Baldy Morph". I paid $120 for him. He was the most feisty of all the geckos laid out on the table from the...

It had been at least half an hour to 45 minutes since I had gone into my bedroom to check on him in the container. I'm not sure how long he had been out of it and escaped (???). I measured the drop off my bed and it's 28"...a little over 2 feet. The carpet is soft enough that my 5-wheeled...

I was cleaning my gecko's tank today. While doing this I keep him in a rectangular plastic food container with holes cut in the lid. I line the container with a pillow case so he's nice and comfy. And then I place it on my bed. It took me about an hour or more to thoroughly clean his tank, and...

Hey all, I can't remember what the ambient temp in the tank is supposed to be... My Scooby is in his own room - a bedroom used mainly for storage. His tank sits right next to the bedroom door, and we keep the door open ALWAYS; this way he's not alone, and also heat from the hallway can drift...

Thank you. He's my sweetie-pie!

I woke him up here. He was sleeping late at night. He'll be 8 years-old this coming May. He's a big boy.

I just wanted to chime in here and maybe help? If there's no physical injury to the back leg, and it's twitching, I have a gecko that went through this years ago. Every time I saw him crawling into his hide, his back legs would twitch. I came here and asked Elizabeth a gazillion questions. Her...

LOL, no. I'm not really worried about him. He's doing great. I'd just love to know what part of his body is responsible for releasing that smell. Like I said, I know some animals have musk glands, but I didn't know if geckos were one of them I know how to avoid him making the smell (based on 1...

Wow, I am floored! I thought for sure the gecko experts here would know. ????????? I thought this was a normal thing for geckos, and that I was just not "in the know". Huh? I wish I could send you both a sample of the odor, as it is VERY REAL, LOL. I've even brought my Dad into the room when he...

I've NEVER been able to find a good explanation for this. My 7 year-old leo, Scooby, will occasionally release a HORRENDOUSLY terrible smell that pervades the entire room when he feels threatened. If I spend too much time cleaning (and making noise) in the room I keep him in, he releases the...

• Scooby just turned 7 in May. • He eats crickets and dubias, and I feed them the recommended fruits and veggies, and dust them appropriately. • I don't know if I can say he's "slowed down". He's still as active and energetic as ever. • He's always been large. Last time he saw an exotic vet they...

It was 97° F outside today. We have the AC set on 75°-76°. Scooby is in his own room, which is our extra bedroom. Tonight, I opened the ceiling vent up a bit more to allow a bit more AC to come into his room. His bedroom is right next to mine (the doors are literally side-by-side) and the door...

I hope you read this, Elizabeth. I think it was at the tail of last summer, Scooby's old UTH pad died. He has a 20 gallon long tank, and for years I had been using a small 8" x 10" UTH pad under his warm hide and most of his moist hide. When that old pad died, I bought him a larger pad (that...

Hey all, I've decided to upgrade my UTH. I have a 20 gallon long tank. For the last, almost 6 years, I've been using an 8" x 12" Zoo Med UTH on my tank. I've decided to go with the next larger UTH pad, as Elizabeth had recommended it to me years back. Anyway, I do a major/thorough cleaning of...

"Maybe he thought your fingers were really big worms." Ha, I thought of that too. Want to hear something crazy? He bit me again the next night as well. Second time he's ever bit me in 5 years, two days in a row. Lastnight, I had taken him out, because he was reaching at me when I went into his...
