    Ovulation

    Er... how do you know when a gecko is ovulating? I've heard that just being a male is enough to get a non ovulating female to ovulate... is that true?

    Nutrition differences?

    Don't feed beetles. Little nutritional benefit and the chicin (sp?) is hard for them to digest.

    You won't feel it mescaline, will you?

    I'm no longer a keeper of geckos ...

    Goliath worms are hornworms. Hmm, it sounds like the one who didn't get to the vet's needs it more than the one who did. Keep trying the slurry on her; that'll stop the weight loss.

    I don't think you should ever force feed a herp unless they are visibly close to death from starvation. I also don't think you should try baby food. Don't leave them with four dishes at once; that's a lot and probably throws them off... heh, sorry, I said that about your last tactic but I...

    Yup! Feeders and hopefully some tiger salamanders... failing that a pacman, I think.

    Cool!

    Question for you Americans: As far as I can see, Canada Customs is okay with me bringing salamanders and geckos over the border. Apparently though, the US may have a policy of requiring inspections and/or permits for all animals exported to other countries? Does anyone have any information on...

    Cool!

    So, I just found out that this really awesome reptile show I went to in Florida last year is annual; I'll be going to it again this March when I'm there for March break! :) I also found out that there don't appear to be any restrictions on bringing non-turtle reptiles and amphibians into...

    Mealies for juvies!

    A juvie will be fine. A lot of very healthy geckos have eaten only mealies since hatching.

    I don't think they're ovulating at that weight. This is just me, but try not offering them so many different things in the span of just an evening. All the opening and closing must get annoying. I'd offer them one different type of food every second night or so until they take to something...

    Getting uninterested male to breed

    What if I put them together every night for a half hour or so? Or is it best to just leave them together for a few days, separate & reintroduce?

    Getting uninterested male to breed

    I have a proven male, but he isn't mating for me. I've put him with a few girls, and most of the time he will rattle his tail, but not do much after that. Tonight, one of the girls was rubbing him with her tail, too -- is that their mating ritual type thing? How do I interest the male?
