    Substrate Confusion......

    Hello, I have been a Leapord Gecko Owner/Parent for 10days now! It seems like the more research I do, the more questions I have... I really want our little buddy to be comfortable, happy, and engaged. [Substrate= Reptile Carpet Temp.] I planned to get the reptile sand. Thinking that would be...

    Hi There!

    Hi! I am a new Crested Gecko owner as of yesterday. This is my second reptile that I am currently keeping (the first being an anole).

    New Gecko Hasn’t Pooped

    New gecko issues?

    Hello all! I recently bought a albino juv leo gecko, and so far, he's pretty okay, but there's some things I'm a bit concerned of. He arrived this morning, and after being in a box all day and night, I figured hes just tired, but it's always good to be sure. He's very sleepy, opens his eyes...

    New Gecko Hasn't Started Eating Yet

    Just this weekend I got my first gecko, a gargoyle gecko, at an expo in Austin, TX. He hasn't started eating yet, and I'm wondering how long I should wait before I start to worry about this. I know it's not super unusual for new animals to take some time before they start feeding regularly after...
