I was wondering if anyone has been able to successfully switch their fat tail from crickets or mealworms to roaches? I want to switch over to roaches because I have a couple friends that know how to breed them, which means I would not have to visit the pet store every other week.
I have...
That gecko with the "one fat long tail" has a regenerated tail. That means that he or she lost their tail and grew it back. The section of the tail that is wavy is part of the original tail. Regenerated tails normally grow back stubby and don't end up looking like the original tail, that's why...
I've had my AFT for a month now and I've only seen him shed once, although he did look like he was in shed about two weeks ago. How often should he be shedding? He's a sub-adult btw.
Thanks! I really like him too, haha. But he still gets a little hissy whenever I try to handle him (I've only handled him twice). But I've been told that that's normal for baby fatties.
I caught him sleeping today! He really loves to dig in his eco earth.
I know it's really bad quality, but I took it with my cell phone and I didn't want to disturb him.
I tried to hand feed my AFT a cricket too and he didn't even look interested in it. Try leaving the food in the enclosure without removing any of the hides. That's what has been working for me.
Yay!! He finally ate last night!! I just have one more question now. Whenever I reach my hand towards him he starts hissing and will even try to bite me. Will this attitude change over time once he's more comfortable in his new home?
