Sadly, my 18 year old leopard gecko has not been very interested in his food the last couple months, and he is starting to lose some weight. I've already talked to my vet about it, and it sounds like he is just slowing down at this point. I know there are several brand/variations of critical...

Has anyone ever heard of feeding their beardies finch eggs? I was talking to someone who said her beardie loves them, and I Googled it out of curiosity but couldn't find any info. Dudley liked hard boiled egg when I gave it to him once, so I'm debating trying it as a treat. The eggs are teeny...

viewtopic.php?f=34&t=132151&p=1059940#p1059940 Let me know what you guys think! I know I've been MIA for a while, but after re-reading what I wrote 2 years ago, it was really starting to bother me. I felt like the way I presented the info make it sound like a huge anti-sand rant, and not...

Does anyone have any experience with buying wild caught lizards? I've really been looking into getting a pair of red eyed crocodile skinks, but it seems impossible to find CB ones... So far I have only seen WC. I really don't like the thought of getting a WC animal, since they can have loads of...

What paint should I use to paint a viv made with laminate boards? I'm tired or the white-ness inside Duds viv lol. Preferably something with no fumes so I can put him back in his viv after a couple days, since my only spare tank is a 20 gallon and I don't think he'll be too pleased with me!

Hey all, its been a while since I've posted here about Dudley and everyone... I still see a few familiar usernames! (: Photobucket won't work on the computer I usually use, so I've been bad about uploading pictures on to it, but I have a few. I got a Nikon D3200 camera that I'm still playing...

Hey everyone, sorry to invade the beardie ER with chameleon issues but I just rescued this gal from some pretty severe neglect and I'm hoping someone here knows more about chams than I do! I work at a pet store, and about two days ago a customer brought in a chameleon that they got for free...

Hey all! Long time no see, right? Between college and work and everything else I've gotten lazier than I expected, so I don't post too much anymore. I think I owe everyone a bit of an update though, and since my thread was locked I'll just do it here. My laziness has also caused all the viv...

Has anyone used those cork tiles with the self-adhesive backs as a background before? I'm re-doing Dud's viv, and I'm thinking that these would look nice. There is some hype about whether or not adhesive tiles are safe to use (the glue might let off fumes when heated), but I wouldn't be directly...

I hate my roaches and I admit I'm really lazy about giving them food and water (No matter how I abuse and forget about them, those stupid things keep multiplying out of control...) and they smell nasty, so I was wondering if this is an OK food to give them. I remember reading somewhere that the...

Has anyone tried putting a water dish in the beardie's viv with a fish tank bubbler in it, so that the water is "moving" and gets their attention? Since I've been working all day everyday, I haven't been able to bathe Dudley as much as I want to. :( I gave him a bath the other day, and he got...

I decided to do some re-arranging, and it worked out so that I will have a little more space in my room, and everyone gets a bigger cage! Except for Dudley and my rabbit. It's physically impossible to give them anything bigger right now LOL! Here are the leopard gecko's new tanks. They are...

So, I am currently using non-adhesive lino for Dudley's substrate. Since I've been working on a planted tank for my crestie, I've been wanting to do something a little more "natural" for him too, but not quite as risky as having an all-substrate setup. (Too bad beardies can't use coco fiber...

Lately Dudley has wanted to do nothing but sleep. :| When I take him out he is very alert and his usual self, and still loves to swim in his bath and bask outside when I have time to take him out for some sunshine, so he isn't lethargic. He hasn't been too fond of his salad lately, but he still...

So, my ReptiSun will need to be replaced at the end of the month, and I'm trying to decide if I should stick with them or try an Arcardia 12%. For those of you who tried the new lights, did you see a difference in your beardie? I'll probably just try the Arcardia, but I want to know if anyone's...

I love seeing how everyone keeps all of their reptiles together, and I know that many members here keep quite a few animals! :) If you have a few set-ups, racks, stackable cages, ect. feel free to share! Here is how I manage to cram all my babies into my tiny room, LOL. The bottom shelf has...

Over the summer, I was going to re-decorate Dudley and the geckos' cages with some new DIY rocks, and I was also going to start making/selling them again. :) Although Mod Podge Hard coat works well, a little bottle of it doesn't go very far, and I wanted to try making some decorations that would...

There is a reptile expo at the end of April and I'm hoping to get a crested gecko or a gargoyle gecko, so I'm trying to decide which one I want! I think that cresties are cuter, but I like the fact that gargs get a little bigger, and it seems like they are more tolerant to handling. I want an...

Does anyone use this to heat their roach bins? I'm using a really old human heat hat right now, and I'm pretty sure it's a fire hazard LOL. I know you can use regular reptile heat pads, but I keep my bin on a high shelf, so it would be a huge pain to have a heat pad stuck to it since I have to...

Since reptiles don't necessarily need tons of attention like our furry pets do, it's easy to keep a lot of them. Right now I have a bearded dragon and two leopard geckos, in addition to my dog, rabbit, hermit crabs, and clawed frog... I still want a blue tongue skink and possibly a crested...
