I have a couple 20gal and a 10gal just sitting around empty. Any ideas of species that could thrive in these sizes? Geckos preferred, but I’m open to other species.
These are the blinds I use to give my gecko some extra security during the day.
He keeps me up at night. He likes to jump and crawl around the vines, sticks, fake plants, and his log. This makes a lot of noise when I'm trying to sleep. At least he's having fun, but doesn't change the fact that this skunk gecko is a menace that never dies.
I found this gecko in my backyard. What kind of gecko is this?
So cute!
ive been thinking about getting a gecko for awhile but i dont know where to get a good tank or even lights from. im planning on getting one gecko and i want a 40gallon tank for it. please if anyone could let me know where to get everything i need from that would be great!!! 😊
Sprig (Standings day gecko) sat in my hand today and ate a bug 🐛💚
I want to add this Drosera capensis for my electric blue day gecko enclosure. I just don’t know if it would be bad for them since it's a carnivorous plant. I just thought it would be a neat way to take care of gnats that get in.
Wanna get this since I alr have a zoo-med duel light and get this as a uvb for my crested just don’t know the light bar wouldn’t fit on top of my enclosure why i’m leaning to this bulb thought? new to the care giving of geckos.
Hi
So like 3months ago I lost my house gecko in the house. Well i just found him ALIVE, he is not very strong so I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be able to hunt (not even sure he gonna survive at this point...). Any ideas/advice of what i should do?
I mean a crested gecko would love it there.
Got this Geo two weeks ago and I noticed one eye is bigger. What should I do?
Hi, I'm looking for some current and reputable information on the husbandry and care of mourning geckos. Any links, recommendations, or knowledge would be awesome.
I have an empty 10 (maybe 11?) gallon vertical tank that had a crested gecko in it previously. Will this kind of tank work? I've heard they are escape artists so I want to make sure they are safe. Also if that is enough room for a pair; and subsequently how many could comfortably live in that space once they start breeding?
Lastly, what is a fair price these guys? Hoping to get some at an expo this weekend if they have any!
Thank you!
For real? What do you mean “tank for geckos”? For catching them with your kids and releasing them 5 minutes later right? Right?
(This is in fact. Not right. The listing is in NY where there are… no geckos…)
I have him for 1-2 months now, he was scared at the beginning but after 2-3 weeks he started to go out a lot from his hiding and he was very active and was fine with being pet. He also got start to get used of being held. But in the last few days I barely saw him outside of his hiding. When I tried to pet him in his head (he is fine with it) he runs away. He doesn't eat. He already shedded (about 5-7 days ago). He ate just ONCE since I got him. Maybe twice but thats it. Please help me. (P.S he is 5 years old). Thank you very much!!
I got a new crested gecko not sure of the morph she is supposedly a girl but not sure yet since she’s so young feel free to leave some advice on how to care for her etc!
