Haha I know!!!! 6months ago, if someone started talking to me about a lizard, the way I talk about ours.. I would thing they were a weirdo . Now I'm like, he is so handsome, and shy, and curious, and he's just so dang sweet!!! Or if people heard the way I talk to him all the time, they would...

Side Note: Today we found out that our (Bliz The Liz) is a "Rainwater Albino" "Leapord Gecko"! Not a "Fancy Leapord Gecko", or a "common House Leapord Gecko". Which is what we were told when we bought him at our local (chain) pet store! Does that change things in general? What about in terms of...

Ok that is all very helpful. I'll order a thermostat with a probe, I also found some grey & black slate rock that I'll probably use for substrate. Our ambient temp is usually about 80°, and 85-87 directly on the carpet above the heat mat. One more question, what are your personal beliefs and...

Thank You! Yes that is very helpful!! I think I'll look into ceramic/stone substrates. What do you think about bio-active habitats? Have you ever attempted one? We are building a large (L40"xW20"xH12") wood enclosure with removable front facing glass doors. So I am trying to learn as much as...

If he doesn't eat them all, we check the hides and take the survivors back out before school each...

VERY Cool Colors!!!! They told us small crickets as well. After about 5 days, he was more comfortable and curious. So we dropped a medium size mealworm in his tank a few inches in front of him. He gobbled it up!!! Our Bliz the Liz was about the same size when we got him. We do 4-5 small-medium...

Hello, I have been a Leapord Gecko Owner/Parent for 10days now! It seems like the more research I do, the more questions I have... I really want our little buddy to be comfortable, happy, and engaged. [Substrate= Reptile Carpet Temp.] I planned to get the reptile sand. Thinking that would be...

Hello everyone. My Daughter talked me into getting her a gecko. Little did I know, how much time and effort I would be investing into him lol. I also didn't realize how much fun it would be, or how attached I would get!! Without Further Ado... Welcome "Bliz The Liz!!!" Or "Little Buddy" as I...
