I recently purchased a 9-month old Leachie which is so far very easy to pick up and hold, though I only do it about twice a week for about 10 minutes at a time. I don't intend to hold him more than this, so as not to stress him out.
I bought him on-line from a reputable breeder, who suggested that I keep him in a small (~7 gallon) Perilite tub, to match what he was being kept in. I've matched his previous enclosure as closely as I could in order to reduce shipping and transition stress. This includes the size & shape of the Perilite tub, cypress mulch substrate, cork bark hollow, humidity and temp.
The breeder told me that very often with Leachies who are used to the semi-opaque sides of a Perilite tub, they will stress out and stop eating when put into a similarly-sized terrarium (such as Exo-Terra), even if the terrarium is modified to hold in the same humidity as the tub, and no lights are added on top. -- I took this to mean that the semi-opaque sides of the Perilite tub give more of a secure feeling to the Leachies than do the clear sides of a glass terrarium.
Anyone have any input or experience with this? I prefer to move him into a similarly sized/shaped terrarium in a month or so, but will not do it to the animal's detriment.

Feeding your leopard gecko
Original post by moc_reptiles — 2015-03-06 19:46:41 GMT
I paired a couple of chahouas last year and the female started to lay eggs in January... Very healthy eggs no problem there except she laid the eggs the 12 of January...it's been like 7 weeks awaiting another clutch but nothing... To my knowledge they lay every 4-5 weeks .. Has anyone ever had this problem ? She is at 64 grams .. the eggs she did lay are fertile.

I have a few new adult and juvenile Gargoyle Geckos each housed individually in 12 x 12 x 24 cages with lots of sticks, fake plants, and a feeding ledge with food and water cups.
My problem is I don't think that they are eating the food (Pangea, 2 different flavors). Each night when I feed them it does not appear that they are eating any of it and it eventually dries up and is thrown away. However, if I put food on a spoon or stick in front of them, they all readily lick it up.
Any tips on getting them to find and use their food bowl? Just don't want to have to hand feed them forever.
Thanks, Dave

Keep an eye on their weight if they are staying plump than they are eating some don't clear their dishes while others eat alot. Also make sure to be feeding live prey

Is anybody in the U.S. working with Cyrtodactylus peguensis? I worked with them years ago, and loved them! Haven't seen them around in a while.
Thanks, -Phil

Can anyone tell me what sex these gargoyle geckos are? the first one has 4 pics, the second one has two pics.
Reply by geckosbybrad — 2013-11-25 19:36:43 GMT
I would say female. R. Auriculatus females have a pronounced ventral pocket, but the males have an even larger hemipenal bulge. Sometimes the bulges develop later on males. This species takes time to get to adulthood and sexual diamorphism can appear out of the blue at juvenile to sub adult age. The spurs are not overly apparent, which usually is seen before or as an indicator of sex when developing. You have some nicely colored R. auriculatus.

Hello, I'm interested in Tarentola americana.
Is there any chance I can get this nice gecko?
Does anyone breed them?
Any information would be appreciated.

I've had several snakes over the years but have never had any lizards to speak of. This past weekend the wife and I went to a reptile expo and I saw for the first time the Gargoyle and Crested Geckos. I purchased one of each. the Gargoyle is about 3" long and rather fat. The Crested was a little over two inches but was only about 3 months old. The vendor said that we could keep them in the same habitat that they shouldn't harm one another. Just to make sure it was large enough for them to not be on top of one another. This morning I went to get them out and I found the tail to the crested gecko in the cage but he was no where to be found. Has anyone had something similar happen?

oh snap!!! that's no bueno!!! :-o lol
i have never kept cresteds or gargoyles, but a bunch of other geckos.
man, sorry to hear that! i house all mine separately unless breeding. i used to try and house small colonies of female leos together, but every once and awhile would have issues such as a female being dominant and another stressing. so... i personally just get separate enclosures for all my critters.
i have never had one eaten, but i had a female leo with a couple bite marks. that was when i got more cages 
sounds like there might have been quite a difference in size. that might have been the main downfall. that probably wasn't the wisest thing to house them together. i hear the "they told me i could" thing all the time. that sucks! i learned a couple decades ago not to take 1 person's word for anything. i try doing a bunch of research before i get any new critters.
try googling cresteds or gargoyle. they are very popular and have a ton of care sheets out there for them.

hello,
i was wondering if anyone is working with albino levis? if so, some information would be greatly appreciated.
how hardy are they in general? i read on a couple post from older forums that they had health and vision issues.
have any of you had success keeping and breeding them? i am looking to get a little starter colony, but would like some info on them as well.
thanks!
jonathan
Reply by geckoejon — 2013-09-02 07:44:29 GMT
from what i have read, you are correct. that is why i did not write levis levis i guess i should have been more precise and wrote nephrurus levis pilbarenis. i assumed that people would know what i was referring to.

Reply by knobfan — 2013-09-01 00:35:10 GMT
From what I understand there is no such thing as an albino levis levis, it may look levis levis but at some point it was crossed with a levis pilbarensis.....

hello,
i am considering a trade for advertised 1.1 levis. i received vent pics and am hesitant. to my untrained eye, looks like both have hemipenial bulges. i have not seen them in person. may i get some feedback from some more experienced nephurus keepers?
thanks...

I recently rescued this gecko from a lady who had him in 10 gal. tank with play sand and water dish only. Ive upgraded the substrate, added a hide, vines and branches and heat. She told me it was a Spiny Tail Gecko. Ive searched all over the internet to identify and find proper care information for what ever kind this is and all that I have found that resembles it is the Madagascar Spiny Tail and the Bibrons Gecko.Is it either of these?
Reply by ingo — 2013-04-30 17:50:53 GMT
Its a female Chondrodactylus turneri

I got two Tropical House Geckos (aka Amerafrican House Geckos) about a week ago and now there's an egg in their tank. I am positive it is an egg and not the geckos' waste. I just don't know what to do with the egg. These are the questions I have.
1) Should I incubate it, if so what should the temp be, or just put something like a deli cup over it for protection?
2) When/If it hatches how long should I wait before putting it in the parents' tank?
3) When/If it hatches what should I feed the baby?
4) Any other important info I forgot to ask about.
I would appreciate it if someone responded soon so I don't make any fatal mistakes. Thanks ahead of time!

Hey everyone I'm going to Marco Island, Florida over spring break and was wondering if anyone knew of someplace near there where I can find house geckos or any other kind but house geckos just seem the most likely. I know they live all around Florida but if anyone knows where there is a large population or they're not very shy I would love to go check it out. I just love geckos! Thanks
Reply by reptilekeeper999 — 2013-08-03 17:37:54 GMT
Thank you, I did end up finding some. I released the two that I caught right where I found them after keeping them in a KritterKeeper for two days.
Reply by geckoejon — 2013-08-02 00:38:08 GMT
i live in central florida and see mediteranian geckos on a very regular basis. i'm not sure about marco island, but everyplace else that i have lived here seems to have them around if you look
