    Blister under front leg?

    I have one gecko that has a small blister looking thing behind the front legs. Heat has always been controlled at 90 or less. Any ideas what it is?

    Who's right

    As newbie the thing that's most confusing is how so many breeders disagree with the "right" way of doing things. Whether talking about feeders, substrates or even morph identification... there are so many "experts" that you wonder who you should listen to? I've spent hours on the internet and...

    help heating tubs!!

    If you're using an undertank heater and don't have a thermostat, you can put the undertank heater under a ceramic tile (4 inch square) and that will dissipate the heat to around 85-90 even if you have no thermostat and leave it plugged in all day. You place the tile between the heater and the...

    Housing male / female together

    At what age or weight can you no longer house female and males together? Or, if you intend to have them mate once they are adults, can they remain together? Yes, newbie question!

    Mealies vs crickets

    I've tried to movement in front, the crawling in front of them... even asked the breeder I got them from and his instructions were to fill the dish so that the mealies all move around...tried that as well. He said they were eating only mealies when he had them... now I can only get them to eat...

    Ready to lay eggs or need a male?

    Clarification Yes, do realize need a male to get fertile eggs... was wondering if leo's get "in heat" and that's why this big ol' mom was trying to get in another cage with another leo? She's huge with her eggs and couldn't believe she squeezed into the other area unless she was in heat?

    Mealies vs crickets

    I'm a newbie and realize that there are thousands of opinions in what's the best food for leos... but I have had no luck getting them to eat mealies? Even when I got a shipment end where they had been eating mealies... I couldn't get them interested in them. Yes, I put them in a smal tray...

    lighting

    I'm new at this too. But others say that leopard geckos require no special lighting, as long as they have heat underneath? Or, are you referring to turning on regular lights so they know night and day?

    Ready to lay eggs or need a male?

    I've got a female that I had figured would have laid her eggs... this is my first time so still on the learning curve. I've got one set up that is a large aquarium split into two units. I've got females on both sides. The "Mom" was able to pull herself up as the front plexiglass was only 5"...

    Is there still a market for "Classic" morphs?

    What is a farm I would consider a "farm" a breeder who doesn't have the time to care for the sick or smaller animals and focus their attention on the number of geckos sold versus the number of healthy or lost geckos. That could range from 20 breeders to thousands. Not a quantity prerequisite...

    Is there still a market for "Classic" morphs?

    Classics and the Small Breeder Since I fall into the category of one of those guys who is relatively new to the world of leopard geckos, and now have 25 which I anxiously await for the time to have eggs... my reason for doing it matches the previous reply. There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between a...

    Shipping Guidelines?

    I'm relatively new to the gecko-world but have received a couple of shipments over the past few weeks and was wondering why the boxes aren't labeled LIVE ANIMALS ? I talked to Fed Ex to see if there was some guideline or law against it and the driver said that there would be no reason no to...

    Breeder recordkeeping software

    So I tried the Degei software, but stops at 5 animals and appears the cost to extend the license to more animals is over $1000 ! Not very affordable for the normal person. Tried the Metzal software and the version that downloads is expired and don't see anywhere to get newer version. May...

    Breeder recordkeeping software

    Am looking for some reptile breeder software that works great for leo's... anything I find on the internet seems to be quite old and is either no longer available or comes by snail mail. Does anyone have software they currently use and like? - Rick
