Hey guys thanks for reading,
As I promised, I am giving an update on the status of the community cage that I set up about 8 months ago now. Everything has gone as well as I could have hoped for, all 6 of the cage mates are thriving as well as ive ever seen. For those of you who dont kno or remember there are a pair of juvie collards, a juvie/adult mali uro, 2 adult leopard geckos, and grampa chuckwalla. Since my last post a few months ago the only signs of aggression that I have seen are a couple of instances of the chuck head bobbing at the uro when a plate of greens is put in the cage. However this only lasts a few seconds and the uro pays no attention and soon the two of them are literraly sharing the same piece of lettuce with no problems. The collareds are growing up, especially the male who is a spectacular blue. The leopard geckos just chill in there rock hides when the lights are on, only emerging to steal the occasional crickets that are offered to the collareds during the day. The albino gecko especially has greatly increased his speed of hunting the crickets because he knows that if hes not fast the collareds will get them all. I also offer crickets at night for the geckos along with their mealworms so everyone is well fed.
Thanks for checking this out and if you have the doubt that im sure most will have when they read this check on the archives before asking questions because ive already explained many things about this project mainly the cage and how it can meet the requirements of all the inhabitants. Here's a few pics that I took tonight. Unfortunately one of the collards and the uro had gone into the rocks for the night so ill have to get a few pics of them up at a later date.
Fellow herp enthusiast,
