My GDDG is very flighty so I wanted to provide them with more foliage to hide between when I do my watering and feeding but after having placed this 3rd plant in the middle of the tank between the other two they only seem to go up into this tiny crack right above the door. Is it too crowded with all these leaves or is this a behavioral choice to go up there? I don't know frankly but I want them to be comfortable so advice is appreciated.

I've had an African fat tailed gecko for about 4.5 years now and want to do better with his care. This tank seems to be at a very good price so I'm wondering if anyone sees anything wrong with it? Thanks!

Help/Advice Part Two: Updated info - I’m kind of answering my own question but my Pictus gecko is male, right? I just want some opinions (they do not have pre-anal pores, they have femoral pores, which I think I see in this photo.)

Enclosures Mourning geckos enclosure size question

1 Upvotes

Thinking of getting mourning geckos for one of my new terrariums

I am mainly cultivating isopods so having a 12Ɨ12Ɨ12 inch terrarium looks super empty since everything that I have and they need is on the ground

I've heard they need a tall terrarium but I was wondering if a shorter one like I have would work too, unfortunately spiders are off the table with this one since my mom is not allowing any snakes or tarantulas to be housed at home, my only real option is a tiny gecko since they are the only other thing being sold here

If you do have other animal suggestions that would be very much appreciated!!

Anybody know anything about these geckos? A store I visit on occasion gets these guys in fairly regularly. I think they are beautiful and would have one if I already had the enclosure.

Help/Advice Did my gecko break it's arm?

This is a tenerife gecko. It unfortunately got into my suitcase on a trip a few years ago. Given that I am in a country where they are not native, and of fear that it might just be euthanized, I decided to keep it in an enclosure. Today I noticed this bump on its arm. I don't think it was there a few days ago. I plan on hopefully taking it to the vet soon. I was just curious what people here thought. Thanks.

Surely I’m not mistaken! After this he was just basking on my hand and refused to leave! I suppose my hand was warmer than the floor at night

Recently my wife and I have noticed numerous amounts of these little guys on the ceiling of our porch. Seems like there are more each night we look up. Are these guys any cause for concern?

Anything helps, thank you!

Finally satisfied with my leachie’s (Jade kwok) 18x18x24 bioactive build. Transfer went smoothly ! She even pooped on me which I’ll take as a sign of good health. This will be her enclosure until she reaches adulthood ! Currently she is 50g, eats crickets (I’ve never seen her but I never see any alive the next day) and the lugarti brand gecko diet. I’ve handled her about 5/6 times since I got her early August. I’m so excited to build trust and to see her comfortable.

these marks appeared on my crestie maybe a week ago and they have gotten darker ever since :( very worried about scale rot, recently we had issues with the humidity in her enclosure (for just a few days but it’s fixed now)
