Thanx. He is probably a foot long, maybe a little less. He has a rock he can sit on that is under his light at the bottom of his aquarium and also has a heat pad under the aquaruim. (Not a heat rock, just a rock w/ a lamp above w/ just a reg. bulb and then a heating pad (the reptile kind, not...
My brother just "inherited" an iguana from someone to care for it for awhile. The poor thing is skinny though and so wondering what would be the best way to "get some weight" on it?? Also what does it need for lighting or heat??
My son got a baby gecko for his birthday, but it passed away. We got it from a pet store and had some issues getting it to eat at first and then did get it eating pretty well and it got lost. Now don't think this was due to not being careful, my son was holding it, as he did often once it was...
Thanx. I will definitely give them a try. I love getting recommendations because its nice to know what others have had good luck with. Buying online can be a bit scary. Anyone can make a website look good. I don't have an exotic vet near, but if this little ones starts eating well and still...
Our baby gecko that had gotten lost and we found (has been found for about 1 1/2 wks) is still so skinny. I'm not sure if he's eating, I put in 2 crickets at a time and then think they are gone, so give 2 more (the next day) and then find 3 in the cage. I think its eating some, because I'm not...
We had lost our baby gecko and even after turning the downstairs upside down (even right after it ran under the aqaruim stand) we couldn't find it. Well today I was in the bathroom and there she was just sitting by the cloth's basket. Well she wasn't eating the best before we lost her almost 3...
Okay I noticed the UTH in my baby gecko's aquarium wasn't getting warm enough for him, so I added an overhead light. Now its too warm, so I'm trying to decide, should I buy a smaller bulb and hope that one works better (its not overly too warm, but about 100, so I need it to be cooler, but got...
Okay I don't think my son's UTH isn't keeping his gecko warm enough. The temps I get are just under 90 degrees and it is regurgitating its food. I don't really want to use a over the cage light that just sets on his cage because I'm afraid of it getting knocked off and starting a fire or him...
Thanx yes all good info. I wonder why my UTH isn't getting any warmer, although I was just using a reg. thermometer so maybe I need a better one? If not, I'll add a light as well to get it warm enough. It did eat a bit better last night, about 8 mealworms (4 from my son and 4 from the dish in...
Thanx for your replies. Yes, I worry about the temp too. I have an UTH and when I set the thermometer on the paper towel on the bottom of its cage, it registers just under 90 degrees. Should I add an extra light too?? Now since I noticed it regurgitating a bit, it doesn't seem to be eating...
Our baby gecko is not eating very well. We have had it for about 2 wks now and it was eating pretty well last week, but then I noticed it was regurgitating some of its mealies and now the last few days its not eating at all. I am going to try new mealies in the dish and actually count them, so...
Okay so where is everyone getting their insects for their leos?? I have 3 almost adult females and one baby gecko and then a hedgehog that too likes insects, at least mealies. Right now I am feeding mealies. I tried crickets, but have no luck keeping the darn things alive so they will...
I had asked a few days ago about our baby gecko's poop, but was clued in it wasn't poop at all, but regurgitated mealworms. I had found a good size clump a few days ago, now today when I looked in I found a quite small one and one that looked like maybe just 1 mealmorm. Why is our baby still...
Okay thanx. I'll keep the moist hides really moist and after work tonight when it'll be both my husband and I here, I'll work at the shed by its eye, so one of us can hold her and one can use the tweezers. How hard do you pull?? Can you end up ripping the skin and hurting the gecko??
