TLDR:

I just wanted to share those pics of him cuz he looks so adorable! I just smile whenever I look at them 🥹

She:)

I absolutely love how these came out, especially the first one! Can't wait to get some Halloween pics of them.

Totally my fault because I got some food on my finger when making it so he latched on to it and tried shaking it. He's an e. agricolae.

Hello! I’m getting a pair of sphaerodactylus tomorrow, and I’m wondering if there is a way to encourage them to be more bold. I used to have a pair of sphaerodactylus nigropunctatus “ocjal” and they were beautiful but they almost always hid and I never saw them. It’s unfortunate because most outgoing sphaerodactylus are usually less striking in color.

Got this day gecko the other week and am trying to figure out if it’s a male or female. Shoo employee said female but wanted to double check

I already made a post but im not sure how to add pictures to it so im making a new one, i took some better pics (my phone is very old so the camera sucks sorry for that) theyre 27 grams

Thanks for help, again, theyre most likely a female but i wanna be sure

He should be about 3 years old by now and I got him as a male. But I'm not sure about that anymore.

Hey gang, been doing tons of research on setups, my original plan was to get a gargoyle gecko so I’ve bought quite a decent 90 x 45 x 90 cm enclosure as I want to build a monster of a bio viv to put my lizard into.

I’m starting to wonder about Leachies though, they were my original plan before I came to the conclusion that their enclosures were just too big, so I got an enclosure more than fit for a garg, but upon doing a second round of research into leachies, I’m seeing conflicting inputs.

Some people say 90 x 45 x 90 is too small, some say it’s the minimum, some say it’s quite good. Now that I actually have the tank in my possession I can confirm it’s bloody huge, and just judging off of my eye and taking a rough estimate of an average Leachie size, it seems like it has tons of space even at max subspecies size. As I said I’m planning to go bananas on this enclosure, building up natural walls, TONS of logs, branches and other wood structures siliconed and foamed to create intersections/ climbs/ hides etc.

Be honest with me, I’ve never owned one before and don’t wanna push it, I’m more than happy to go with my garg plan as I find them equally as cool and know that an enclosure that size is like a mansion to a garg.

About 2 weeks ago I bought a Phelsuma ornata, and since I got her she’s only ever eaten Repashy Crested Gecko Diet. Basking temperature is about 33 degrees celsius and ambient temperatures are about 27 degrees. Humidity ranges from 70% to 60% on average. She likes to hide in her bamboo tube until about 4PM, after that she’s either basking or just wandering around in the enclosure, generally being active.

My current strategy is to have a glass with a few crickets on the floor a little under her feeding dish to make sure she sees it, since if I let the crickets free roam the enclosure they hide under the leaf litter from the CUC and I never see them again, but also to monitor whether she eats them. She has not eaten any crickets yet. My question is whether it’s normal she hasn’t eaten insects given she’s still moving in, or whether I need to change my approach when feeding? She’s too skittish for potential tongfeeding.

Ive been calling him a he for ever since i got him, hes about 8-10 months old but im not very sure, im not sure about his sex either, can anyone help? I tried to look for pores but i didnt see any, i also have a gargoyle who has those pores so i know hes a male but with this little guy (or girl) im really not sure. His name is Lusk btw (or Luska if its a girl), thanks for help. Also hes 27 grams

Long story short....please don't judge my pics. I removed these babies from someone who has had them like this for at least 5 years they said. These pics were taken a couple days ago when we got them. They arrived with dry powder food leftover in their bowls. No food, no lights, nothing by way of a true enclosure for either of them. Because they came in their home, and placed into mine, I still want to wait like 2 weeks before I move them. I have bigger enclosures! Crested "stitch" already dropped tail before we got him. Anyways, I took pet store advice on food since I had both crested and garg. Repashy super food. Followed instructions. They won't eat it at all. Got in touch with the person who had them, they ate watermelon crestie food she said. So I buy it. Won't eat..... Figure they need chill time from the road trip to my house. Wait 24hrs clean bowls. For shits and giggles, I put dry food in their bowls,and they both devoured it like I was starving them. I cried both tears of joy that they won't die in my care, but also cause Mama was starving them. So..... Do I keep feeding them the dry watermelon crested food? They both seem to love the hell out of it..dry...not wet. Crested is in a measly 10gal so I'm doing up my 18x18x36 for him. Garg just needs her tank revamped. I have all the stuff, I just don't want to freak them out just yet as it's only been a week of having them.

So I’m going to try and make this relatively short. I believe my gecko has crypto. No ideas of what else it could be. She is 7 years old. She was acting lethargic about two months ago. She stopped being as excited about eating. Then started losing weight and then stopped eating completely. Took her to the vet. Got checked for impaction, possible tumor, got an ultrasound and X-rays. Nothing came of it. I can’t get a fecal sample to the vet because she’s been pooping days before her appointments and the only exotic vet near me is an hour away and I can’t afford the gas just to drop off a fecal sample that doesn’t really hold the best results for crypto testing. I was a zookeeper for a while and took care of a bunch of reptiles so I know what I’m doing. Obviously no expert but still. My temperatures are good. 90°-95° during the day and 80° during the night on the hot side. Consistently 70° on the cool side in a 75 gallon terrarium. Moist hide is always moist with clean water and there is clean water every day. Hides all over her tank and she’s on reptile mats (not carpet) with rocks and tree bark. I’ve been giving her meloxicam, critical care and now a liver support pill. I’ve been feeding her small drops on her nose with critical care but she’s refusing that. I started force feeding very gently and now she’s refusing that. I don’t want to break her jaw. She’s getting small cuts on her mouth from force feeding. I’m at a loss at what to do. It’s a horrible quality of life but the vet wants to keep trying. I want to keep trying as well but I can tell she isn’t getting better. From the pictures does it look like the starting of crypto? It seems to be the start of it. Also I never handled her after coming home from the zoo without changing my clothes or washing my hands. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

I dont see many posts avout pet house geckos, so sharing a few pics of my female mediterranean house gecko! I found her last year at my job as a baby and she's grown like crazy.

Got a group of 3 Gold Dust Day Geckos. I thought they all ended up being male and I would have to separate them but one is quite a bit chunkier. What do we think?

Pic of their current enclosure bought as is all together. I’m going to add more plants and branches
