Australia, right? I think your best bet is to see if you can find any marbled gecko keepers in your country and then network. Aliza

Nope. Aliza

I am a moderator but it doesn't take a moderator to answer this question: Often the first post that someone makes is an introduction post. Check out the list of subforums for the right place (I think there's one called 'introductions"). Let us know who you are - you can use your real name or...

In my opinion these guys are hardier than most people give them credit for. I used to take juvenile geckos to a reptile expo where I had to drive 2 hours to my friend's house, spend the night and then drive about 1 1/2 hours to the show. After doing the show, I'd drive back home. Consider...

Note that the original poster posted this 11 years ago. Good luck with the black soldier flies. If you order a bunch of really small crickets via mail (I use Tophat Crickets) you can feed off the crickets gradually and they'll take a number of weeks to grow so you won't have to order them too...

Do you mean why aren't they open all the way? try this: dip your finger in water and let a drop fall on each eye. See if that helps it open its eyes all the way. When I was breeding geckos I had some hatchlings that had trouble opening their eyes and after some weeks of this treatment, most...

It might be interesting for you to post to some dart frog forums because they must have a way to keep plant soil appropriately moist to support the plants. that sounds like an awfully large amount of water. My approach is to capitalize on the plants that can tolerate daily misting conditions...

Contact Julie Bergman and geckoranch.com and ask these questions. I think she will be glad to help you, Aliza

I know this sounds awful, but I recommend that you hold her and use your fingernails (or a tweezer near the eye) and pull this stuff off. It's possible that she now has an infection in her mouth and she may need a vet visit for antibiotics. Aliza

That's going to be one happy house gecko! Aliza

Congratulations on your gecko! Here are some suggestions: 1. If your gecko is small and young, it should be in a small cage 2. when your gecko is an adult it should be in a cage that is at least as large as 45x45x60cm 3. feed your gecko powdered "Crested Gecko Diet" if you can get it in Korea...

Yes, they are snow albinos. The broken tail and body bands (which are usually solid at hatching from side to side) indicate that they have the stripe gene. I really like the look. They should be lovely pastel colored when they mature, Aliza

Here are a few thoughts about your geckos and your setup: --juvenile geckos protect themselves by hiding, so their behavior isn't unusual, especially when they are in an unfamiliar place (which will become more familiar with time). They also react to stimuli that make them nervous by arching...

Welcome! Pictures are always welcome as well. Aliza

It looks like a fun space for a leopard gecko. I couldn't find any ingredient info for the substrate, but it looks more like coco fiber than sand, so it should be fine. Make sure the rocks you have piled up are attached solidly so they don't fall over on the geckos. Enjoy! Aliza
