[gecko]HELP! problems with baby grandis

Recently I had two grandis hatchlings (~1.5-2mos old, I think) die within 2 days of each other. (They were "roommates".) They had previously been seemed very healthy, ate very well (like most geckos--everything in sight!) and were quite active. Then they just quit eating (I couldn't swear th

Re: [gecko]HELP! problem with baby grandis

What about roaches as a food source? I have alot of difficulty keeping a constant supply of small crickets as I cannot seem to keep the little ones alive very long! (I tried replying to this before, but I seem to be having email issues!) Julie Bergman wrote: My guesses would be as Leann's abo

Re: [gecko]HELP! problem with baby grandis

If they are younger or smaller then two week old crickets. Neither of these size crickets is hard to keep alive. Theoretically, no. But I always have massive die-offs with anything under about 1/3". If the roaches were small, soft and young enough I think they would be good, They are small

Re: [gecko]More on Feeder insects

Also on the subject of feeders, can anyone tell me anything about the butterworms I've seen advertised once or twice? Like, what are they, and do they really have as much calcium as I've seen claimed? jct ___ Global Gecko Association http://www.gekkot

[gecko]snails

I have found a supplier (in my state!) for several species of live snails, and have been trying to remember how often I would need to feed a female henkeli snails. I remember asking this before but couldn't find it in the archives just now. Also, will the henkeli accept some of the smaller (mo

Do you think 4 female picta would be comfortable in a 20 gal long (30 in. long x 12 in. deep x ~11 in. high)? Thanks ___ Global Gecko Association http://www.gekkota.com Classifieds http://www.gekkota.com/cgi-gekkota/classifieds.cgi gecko mailing list [

[gecko]prehensile tail?

I am redoing my henkeli's tank, which meant moving him temporarily, a process which is almost equally stressful to both of us (almost--he'd love to bite me, but I don't really think I'm in danger of being eaten! Of course, neither is he, but just try telling him that!) Anyway, he curled his tai

[gecko]grandis eye problem

I just noticed my female grandis' right eye is, well, flat. Viewed from above, you know how the eye normally curves out from the head? Well the right eye doesn't--it is just flush with the rest of the head. I've no idea how long this has been the case, because it's only obvious from the right a

[gecko]substrate

I'm getting ready to move my picta to a 20gal long and I would like to give them a substrate they can dig in, since they (females) do quite a bit. Any suggestions or thoughts? TIA ___ Global Gecko Association http://www.gekkota.com Classifieds http://ww

that sounds like a good mix. you mean the type of play sand I would get at a home improvement store? How deep do you make it? I was thinking an 1.5 - 2 inches?(basking light, not heat pad) Julie Bergman wrote: I usually do 30% spaghnum peat moss and 70% play sand. Julie B. Camille

[gecko]sick day/basking

My female grandis has developed an eye infection. I took her to the vet yesterday and now have a topical and oral antibiotic for her. I've set her up in a sick tank (a 10gal) in my bathroom (ambient temp ~76-77 F) with a 40 W light and the new UV light I picked up at the vets to replace the o

[gecko]Lygodactylus williamsi aka ELECTRIC blue gecko

Just checked out A Field Guide to the Reptiles of East Africa (to look up a skink I can't find ANY info on online) and happened across a photo of Lycodactylus williamsi. The male is literally electric blue. It says its only known from a single location, which makes me wonder about its current
