I've found that herp shows are the best place to get Blizzards.
Go around and read lots of caresheets they will explain about housing in detail. There's a caresheet on the link down at the bottom. I would definately keep the male seperate. They tend to really stress the females because of constant breeding attempts etc.

Both of those setups took 10 minutes at the MOST. And thats probably pushing it. All it is is a bunch of slate rocks, flat rocks, artificial petstore hides, broken flower pot, humid hide, and paper towel substrate. Absolutely simple!

I'm only 15,and I live for finding an easy way out lol...

I think the same goes for most of us.

Both setups look very nice. Are you using a 20 gallon terrarium? Maybe you could post a pic of your leo's some day.

Thanks Triad,
I actually only have one leopard gecko, and he's an abberant normal.Both of those setups are in the same 20gal tank.

I'll be glad to post some pictures of my lil guy soon. I recently took a few cute pictures of him while sleeping.

But for now, here's a pic that I took, and you may have seen already =)

P: The lil guys bigger now :P

I noticed in your signature that you own birds as well. Birds are deffinitly my numebr one passion then coming herps. Parrots are so darn intelligent and full of personality.

I love those cages! Do you mind if I do something like that?

My only question, however, is how do you keep the crickets from wedgeing themselves between the rocks?

Triad Dec 25, 2004 08:07 PM

Actually they're my parents birds. I figured I'd list all of the animals in this house.

But yeah they are real intelligent. Kia, my mom's African Gray, says my name (actual not TRIAD) both brothers names, she fake coughs, makes sounds from Super Mario Video games, telephone rings, car alarms, door bells, you say anything to her for more than a day and she can say it back.

Poncho, my dad's Amazon Red Head, also talks. But he talks less now but he says Hello and he whistles a TON.

They're real awesome. I wish I had one, I'd get an Umbrella one or something else.

Here are my set-ups. The humid hides are not very creative, just hidden well. They are just normal old ziplock containers.
