[gecko]U. henkeli enclosures, size and style (quick poll)

I'm wondering what size and type of enclosure everone is using for their Uroplatus henkeli. My guy is in a 60 gallon Reptarium, with all but two openings covered in clear palstic. I really dislike this enclosure, and want to upgrade, but would like to hear what other people are doing before

I've goot normal old grey pillbugs in my Uroplatus vivarium, and they do a great as detritovors. I have never noticed the U. henkeli eating them, but then he is prowling the vivarium all night while I'm usually asleep, so he could be eating them without my knowledge. I noticed someone

[gecko]feeder snails?

I wonder if anyone out there has a source for captive bred Helix aspersa or Helix pomatia (garden snails, or escargots), or breeds the little slimy devils themselves? I am considering trying my hand at small scale heliculture, but understand that it can take years to get a stable breeding

[gecko]50 gallon Sterilite tub vivarium

So, I just got two ~ eight month old female Uroplatus henkeli. I figured they'd be old enough to put with my adult male. Plus, male henks are not known to be the randiest lizards, so I guessed he wouldn't even notice them for a while. I guessed wrong. I put the females in during the day, and

Re: [gecko]50 gallon Sterilite tub vivarium

I wonder how spacious and/or naturalistic yours were? Not that I doubt that they went downhill, or your experience or expertise, but it seems glass /plastic/wood/screen are all the same to a gecko: walls which contain them. Not to be negative or anything, I'm just saying... Jared

[gecko]oral calcium

I have used Calcium Glubionate (Neo-calglucon) in the past for rehabilitation purposes, will this be a good choice to boost my recently gravid female's calcium intake? If not, what would you suggest? Thanks, Jared ___ Global Gecko Association

Re: [gecko]oral calcium

I use Rep-Cal Ca w/ D3 mostly, and pure Calcium Carbonate on occasion, as well as Rep-Cal Herptivite once or twice a week. Neil The Master Meister recommended snails or liquid calcium to help her reestablish her calcium supply. I will not do snails due to parasite concerns and availability

[gecko]baby U. henks on the way

So, with five eggs now in the incubator (and more undoubtedly on the way), and the prospect of baby /Uroplatus henkeli/ popping out in about a month and a half, I'm getting ready for the little buggers. I plan on using some 20 qt (14x8x9) Sterilite tubs turned on their ends (so they are tall)

So I was just walking past the big viv with my trio of U. henkeli, when I heard a weird hissing noise. I looked in to find my large, normally robust, female lying on the ground looking dead. Turns out she's not dead, but she may be heading in that direction - she is displaying these
