    Got Really Bord...

    Wyrm was posing earlier, so I decided that he should impersonate Marshal Dillon :coverlaugh: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/263782431717326848/1004956496121036891/westernwyrm.png

    Phosphorus Questions

    I have tried reading online and can't really seem to find a good answer, so I figured I'd ask the collective minds here :) I know that all feeders need to be on a low phosphorus food, as well as some fresh veggies like dark greens and such. However, I currently have thousands of mealworms and...

    DHP Instant Success

    I also want to note that I put the wrong specs for her cage - its the T8 - 48x24x12, the snakes is the 18" high :/ This is the reptile wrack - Ball Python on the bottom, Nel in the middle, and Wyrm the male Leo on the top...

    Helping a female lay eggs

    My girl is now 2 years old and has been doing great. Last year she stopped eating for a few months, lost most of her tail weight (about 20g), then finally laid two unfertilized eggs. They were quite firm and the second had a good amount of calcification on it - more than I would have expected...

    DHP Instant Success

    Nel's new cage got here over the weekend (finally!), and so far she hasn't laid anymore eggs and is starting to eat waxworms and hornworms. Anyway, I set up the "hot" side of the cage with a 50w Arcadia deep heat projector over some dark slate rocks, and once it got up to temp she hasn't left...

    Surprise Egg!

    Nel laid an egg...I think there is another one in there. Is there anything I need to do for her - increase calcium or other vitamins, warm water soakes? She has a dig-box with coco-fiber, everything else is the same as it has always been. *Also she is only a year and a halfish old - 20 months to...

    No A/C - geckos' heat tolerence

    Our central a/c unit died yesterday and it's probably going to get to be a bit before I can get it fixed. Most gradient recommendations are for a cool side no more than 75*F - right now that just isn't quite possible. The house is staying between 77 and 80* and down to the lower 70's at night...

    Weight Debate

    Just getting some opinions, my fiance and I were debating Wyrms' weight - he says he's fat and I think hes' just a big gecko and has a good body condition. So, Wyrm is about 2.5 years old and today hit 120 grams...

    Thoughts on Deep Heat Projectors

    I listened to an interesting CE on reptile husbandry from a veterinary standpoint earlier in the week, and these Deep Heat Projectors are getting popular for recover cages and being recommended over other forms of heating. But I also know from experience that veterinary medicine that is based...

    Great Product For Humidity Issues

    I have moist hides in with both my geckos, but the male absolutely refuses to use it. Tried different hides, different substrate, different locations in the cage, nothing. Then found these on amazon and they are great! Keeping my cages between 30-50%. Not too expensive either.

    New Shelf o' reptiles

    Moved on Saturday to my first real house and had a shelving unit installed and the wiring updated. Here's a pic of the new tower. Mashadar my male ball python on the bottom, then Wyrm my male leo, and on the top, Nel my female leo. Once I recoup some of my expenses from the move, Nel will also...

    When do males start into breeding season

    My male is just over two years old now, and in the past two weeks has become uninterested in food and is pacing more - at night - sleeping all day as per normal. He's been on a diet for the past three months since he was getting pudgy per the vet and has gone from 116g to 108g - being fed three...

    Premade Gel Diet for insectavores?

    Has anyone ever heard of the this? We had someone bring their gecko to the vet today that has been eating this while recovering from a nasty crypto infection. the owner claims that the gecko hasn't wanted to touch anything except this and waxworms. But the little guy is putting on weight and...

    Both geckos off food

    I know its a little early for breeding season, but both my geckos have gone off food at the same time. Nel (female- 68g) is about 8-9 months old and Wyrm (male- 112g) is just over 18 months. Both of their cages have been stable for temperature and humidity, they have no loose bedding, and fecal...

    Not a gecko question

    Not a gecko question, but does anyone have / breed bearded dragons or know of a forum where I could get some advice on a neonate? It's less than 3 weeks old, from some warehouse distributor, and hasn't eaten in a week. Very emaciated and I'm just trying to give it a chance. Working closely with...

    Gender Varification

    Nel is 54 g and 4 months old now but she looks distinctly female to me. Is there a chance that she is still to small / young to know for sure? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/450442571596955653/713924042943365120/IMG_1847.JPG

    Suppliers for Live Crickets

    I've never liked feeding crickets to my geckos mainly because they are a pain to deal with...but due to all this pandemic stuff I can't get any roaches from my usual place. My picky little beasts have decided that mealworms, hornworms, and caliworms are sub-par food items and both have been...

    Eating calcium like its candy?

    Nel started doing something odd this afternoon. She was out and about and very active which she usually doesn't do in the middle of the day. She kept going over to her food dish and climbing inside it - I thought she was extra hungry and gave her her roaches early - (last night she had 3 with...

    Giant Gecko house!

    Wyrm's mega-home finally arrived this past weekend. Its 48x24x12 and with him moving up in the world Nel has moved into his old cage (36x18x12). After a few days of adjustment both seem to be greatly enjoying their increased spaces. Pics below: Wyrm's new House...
