No racism, sexism, homophobia, or any other hate speech of any kind.
No trolling/baiting comments/posts
No harassment.
2) No Advertisements/Self Promotion
Please refrain from self-promotion or advertisement of your own content or services unless explicitly approved by a moderator. There are plenty of places for you to self promote on the internet, this is not one of those places.
Discord links are NOT allowed without moderator approval. They will be automatically removed.
3) Utilize the NSFW Tag
If you are going to post a photo of a deceased or severely injured animal, please mark it NSFW!
4) No porn/gore/abuse
Animal abuse and neglect is strictly prohibited. This includes photos of animals deliberately being put in harms way, and comments/posts about animal abuse in a positive light.
NOTE: Cohabitation is in fact, a form of neglect.
No porn should be self explanatory
5) Use a descriptive title and search before posting
If asking for help or advice, please use a clear and descriptive title, as well as additional details in the post body.
"HELP!!" is not a good title, it says nothing about what kind of help you need, and is quite low effort.
"What is the best substrate for a leopard gecko?" is a much better title, it clearly states what kind of help you are looking for without coming off as low effort.
You should also search the subreddit before posting your question, it is highly possible that your question has been asked and answered previously.
6) No posts asking to buy or sell
This subreddit is not a marketplace, nor do we have infrastructure in place to prevent scams. Find another forum to buy/sell in.

He always sleeps like this and has normal behavior so I'm sure he's fine
I’ve been using the Wyze V3 to watch my gecko honestly great night vision on the camera
I've been keeping geckos for a while now, and I was wondering if there is a larger terrestrial species than the Eublepharis genus? Of course captive bred E. Macularious species who have been bred specifically for size will most likely exceed any wild specimens of other species, but I'm curious if there are any naturally larger species, or close runner ups!
I was trying to generate a profile picture for my account on Instagram and oh my god, this stuff has advanced so much. Look how cute he is
So the measurements originally are 15 inches in height, 12 inches in width and 30 inches in length.
But I put it on its side for height, so it’s now 30 inches in height, 15 in depth and 12 in length.
I’m wanting to get a chameleon gecko and this is above the recommended space requirements.
But has anyone tried and had success with converting aquariums to vivariums?
This was leaking which is why I’m asking in the first place.
Anyone else have a spicy gecko? Phoenix is my spicy gal with a taste for human flesh!
Two juvenile indo pacific tree geckos, very similar in appearance to mourning geckos
sorry for the back to back posts the last time i wasnt trying to get other answers than taking her to the vet just maybe other stuff to look after for her! ive taken her to the vet and we got a new tile for her enclosure and an ointment for her eyes! shes been doing very well and i just wanted to know u guys opinion on the tile!
So I feel I’ve found my dream lizard, okay with some handling, can be tong fed, small and with all the perks of the New Caledonian geckos!
From my research they can do well in groups, but I’m not interested in breeding and their recommended enclosure size is 30 x 30 x 45cm.
But I feel they’ll like more space?
But is it too big?
What do you think?
Is 50x50x80 enough
Does anyone have a good suggestion (or links) for a magnetic hanging hide for a chahoua gecko? He’s about 11 inches long and 50 grams. I need a consistently humid hide because even with two mistings a day it apparently isn’t enough and I don’t want to add more mistings due to fear of RIs
Anything in the 8-10 inch range for the hide is fine as I don’t have a ton of room but want him to be comfortable in it.
The picture is for gecko tax.
It has been more than 45 days and i am starting to get worried if i should do something. She has layed multiple clutches so they are difinetely fertile. The eggs are from the species phelsuma klemmeri.
i was just wondering if i were to put my leo’s tank inside of this wooden shelf thing would it bother him if i put a tv on top? like would the vibrations or noises from movies and video games upset him or scare him? i dont have any other tables that are strong or big enough so im looking for alternatives to get him off the ground. Pls and thank you. ( also pls ignore the mess im in the middle of my brother moving in )
Is there any way to make the night outlets work during the day cycle? Only having two day outlets seems like a huge oversight. Along with having four constant power ports is overkill. Should've been like four day, two night, two constant. I'll most likely never use the night outlets. I regret buying it.
Or are they even legal
Little one that hatched out the end of last year. Loving the patterns on its back.
Eggs will be an issue. But comfort will not
Also, will a plastic top cause problems?
Handled this one a while back and trying to narrow down the species.
