I stand by my statement that they are useless.

 

[geckogirl3]

and make a very big hole so the gecko doesn't get suspicious
they do that

 

[SamsonizeMe]

I hate to be the one to suggest it but do you have any cats or dogs? They could be to blame.

 

[geckogirl3]

hope you don't

well i know nobody on here accually knows me like that but i was wondering if one of you big leopard gecko breeders could hook me up with any 10 gram leo...like i got my first one yesterday and it was a blizzard. i didnt even have him for 24 hours and he escapes his tub..i have no idea how..i know some of you guys have hundreds and hundreds of geckos and would highly appreciate it if you gave me one..it took me 2 and a half months to save the 80 dollars for it and its gonna be soo hard and take soo long till i can get another...im 16 and dont have a job or anything...if no1 can do it ill understand...thnx..=]

Let's see if I got this straight.......... you got a gecko yesterday. Today it escaped. You're upset, but ... oh well. Now you think someone should give you another gecko since you are 16 and it takes too long to save up $$$.

Get a grip.

I've never seen my gecko make any attempt to move vertically. Ever. I'm not sure why I read so many threads on missing geckos. If they're escaping then there's some major error going on by the owner!

you should have asked the people here first. that dude has rigged that thing up so much that his adults may be able to live in them but i bet if you ask him how many escapees he has had he will say "a lot". yeah sure you can make an enclosure out of about anything but will it work properly? he said the air temps were 85 degrees. well leos need to be kept higher than that. lots of things in that video are inaccurate.

 

[Thorgecko707]

That rack system is horrible. "it can be done"?!?! REALLY?! I can keep a gecko in a dresser drawer, but I don't because it is unhealthy. Your animals health and happiness should come first.

pretty much sums it up right here, it makes me sick to the stomach hearing/reading stories like these.

I have merged these 2 threads into one as they are basically duplicates on the same topic.

1. i got the waxworms and changed out the mealworms..i put 10 of them...
2. it was in the drawer thing..i said it had a lid bcuzz the drawer on top acts like a lid for the one under it..
3. i do have 2 dogs but they dont go in the basement at all..
4. im a verry good owner..i have 2 tokays, 2 golden geckos, 2 skunk geckos, a green tree frog, a red eye tree frog, and a big eyed tree frog...i havent lost/killed not one animal...it was just poor decision of an enclosure...i bet u i wont make the same mistake again tho..

i saw in beezy's other post about waiting for heat tape to come in the mail and didn't want to use a uth. Your leo probably escaped because it was in a basement, cold, or your heattape came in and you cooked him out. That heattape can get HOT!. Hope this wasn't the case! :main_huh:

 

[beezy]

no..i posted that yesterday..i still havent gotten it yet...hopefully he pops up in the tub of waxworms i left out tho..=/

 

[UnDeRtOw00]

i dont' know how you haven't torn the room apart yet....i would be taking everything out..1 thing at a time..checking nook and cranny! GO NOW! DO IT!! I think another member already mentioned this! GO! GO! GO!

 

[beezy]

its a whole entire unfinished basement...theres tons of boxes for storage, holes in the walls, some parts of the floor are comming apart so it could be in any box in any wall or under my floor..i dont even know where to begin..=/

Every second that you're spending posting here could be spent looking for your gecko. Sorry, but I don't understand that mentality.

 

[geckogirl3]

the gecko will come if it wants to live
it needs food
count the waxies every time you go in thereto see if it came by

 

[PaladinGirl]

This is a horrible situation. Hopefully you find him soon. I have that exact same kind of container right here next to my desk. I use it for office supplies....I just now looked it over and there is a gap along the top of the sides and back of each drawer. The one on the backs is bigger than on the sides. Only the front of each drawer is flush with the thing you call a "lid". And I highly doubt anyone on here is going to give you a gecko, especially not under these circumstances. Does your house have a sump pump? I hope not.

 

[beezy]

so ive been looking and looking all day and still no gecko..=(...all 10 wax worms are still in the container too...i think it went in my walls or something..and i dont know whats a sump pump?...hopefully i see it tomorrow morning feasting on wax worms..=]..thnx for all your advice everyone

 

[beezy]

updatee!

so i woke up today and still no gecko.. all 10 waxies are there too..=(..i dont know what to do anymore..=(
