Hey guys, my name is Kevin and I'm from San Diego, Ca. I've been keeping and breeding reptiles for the last 17 years (ever since I was 7). I've been working with beardeds now for the last 9 years. I bred mine for about 6 years before retiring them and the last of my retirees passed away about 6 months ago. I just "got back into" beardeds about 3 weeks ago (if you can call a 6 month break an absence). Anyways, I mainly work with geckos (currently keeping 42 species) but i will be breeding dragons again in the spring. About 3 weeks ago I traded some surplus geckos for a very nice juvenile pair of Cawley Reds and yesterday for my birthday got an incredible juvie pair of Kandy's Rainbows. I'll post pics soon! In the mean time check out my website and tell me what you guys think!

Ooo Kevin!
Awesome freakin' geckos!!!!!
Oedura castelnaui- I want one... so very cool!

And do you happen to have a good caresheet for golden geckos? Or at least some recommendations. I have one that was a rescue and while I'm doing all I can, I worry that it's not sufficient. Her prior owners were absolutely terrified of her and kept her as a desert lizard.

She's in a 20 gallon tank, on coconut bedding, she's got a hide & lots of fake foliage. I've been using a ceramic heat emitter on a dimmer to get a hot spot of around 87. I mist her very very often, but I'm not real clear on how high their humidity needs to be. My existence doesn't seem to stress her out nearly as much as she did (i.e. she doesn't bite me anymore), so I hope I'm doing something right!

yeah, so all that aside- Welcome to the forum!!!

that's my super basic care sheet. really they are very easy geckos to care for, but just as a note they enjoy live plants.
