I thought it would be fun to have a thread chronically my life with my 21 guys. It will be mostly pictures but also with lots of writing. I thought I would start out with introducing everyone.

We will start with Tír na nÓg, my sweet beautiful Beardie. Who became officially mine today (1/7/12). She was a surrender to the shelter I work at and I am so very glad she has joined the 'zoo'.

Sasha is a very sweet, lovely girl. She is a 3-toed box turtle who I got from a friend who didn't want her anymore.

Scully my girl. I've had her for almost 3 years. She is a Leopard Gecko. My friend bred her.

Neville, is super handsome. Just look at that red? I got him at a reptile expo this summer.

Puzzle is another girl from the reptile expo. She fires up super great, but doesn't have the best crests.

I also have 4 Mourning Geckos. JJ, Elle, Penelope and Emily. They are such a fun all female species to work with.

Zoom is paired with Trinity for the 2012 season and I am super excited to see what they produce.

Velvet, was my first Crested Gecko. She is what made my obsession so strong.

I will also be getting a male R. Sara soon. We are just waiting for the temps to get warmer! Super excited to get this boy!

Breeding Season 2012:
Fox x Scully
Anya x Neville
Zoom x Trinity
Smeagol x Buffy
Mourning Geckos

Hoping to add a female R. Sara and a few more Cresties!


In addition to all the reptiles. I have a large Dubia colony and 2 dogs.

I was at Petco today buying crickets and worms, so I peeked into the crestie tank. Well, I saw something I liked so I asked to see them. I am very impressed by these kids. I love my Petco, too. They take great care of the kids and really care. They both still need names...any ideas?

:lol: Yep, I just bought two more female Crested Geckos. I don't, that could be a possibility.

I am thinking Tigress for the second one.

You're insane! (In a good way! :D :D ) I can't believe you have....23 reptiles?? You have to change the name of the thread now. LOL!!!

So I was wondering this at 21 reptiles and I am really wondering this now...how much time does it take you to care for them all on a daily basis? Morning AND evening...what are you putting in time-wise??

Thank You! Yes, I am insane. xD

In the morning I go through and check on everyone, mist and take out any old food they didn't eat the night before. Give everyone fresh water. That usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes. On non-feeding mornings it is only fresh water and checking on everyone. Then on non-feeding evenings, I walk through make sure everyone has enough water, mist them and say good night to the kids. Then on feeding nights, I mix up the CGD for the Cresties and give that to everyone which takes around 15 minutes, misting everyone takes around 5 more, then feeding crickets to the leos, tokays and banded takes around 10 to 15 minutes. On cage cleaning day I usually clean for around 5 to 6 hours.

It is very easy to keep up with!

All your geckos are fascinating! They recently got a marble gecko at our local pet shop - and I thought of all your babies. Before this thread, I had no idea there was so many different species (I should have known, look at all the different frogs out there!)

Amazing collection! I want Geckos now... :blob5:

For names I was thinking:

1) Ember
2) Smoulder

Idk, there's something about them that reminds me of fire. lol. Very distinctive.

I apologize if my names suck. XD

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
