I like your choice in branches they come together nicely,,,is that Wisteria???

[Weedhound]

jeez Skink I hope you're joking.....i'm going to faint if you can simply look at some branches in a photo and say wisteria...

[Scarlet Sky]

weed, they eat a combination of fruit baby food and crickets. crickets have to be supplemented with calcium, which is easily done with a paper cup and gecko dust. these guys are extremely easy to care for, i feed 5 days a week, 3 days baby food, 2 days crickets, 5 per gecko. they thrive at room temp which means heat lamps and mats are unnecessary. and they change colors and patterns twice a day. very cool

skink, i see how it looks like wysteria, but no, it's local mountain laurel. good stuff, it's stretchy, and naturally grows all twisted and deformed. i don't even clean the branches, i just replace them once a month. i'll take new pieces, and have my brother cut them to size, and treat with bleach water to kill any disease or bacteria. then, after letting it sit and dry for a day, i arange a new branch set up in the cage. the food dish is behind the stump. the bowls and stump are the only thing that always stay, the stump bieng his den. this keeps him happy and stress free, and he doesn't mind the branch change; as a matter of fact, i think he enjoys it. they are nocturnal, and i replace branches in the day. when i do, he wakes up, and climbs to the top of the stum, and watches. soon as i'm done, he's all over the new stuff.

what a weirdo, huh?

Wow i'm impressed that you know so much about them. Where did you get your interest in these little guys? That's quite the menu for them.....guess they don't make a gecko chow.

You do alot of work to take of the little creatures.....kudos to you Scarlet. I love people who go the extra mile for their pets. :thumbsup:

[Scarlet Sky]

they do make a gecko diet, but they don't like it. they eat it only if no other food has been introduced in a few weeks.

when i got my male, he was smaller than my little finger. i saw him at a flea market and it was love at first sight. he looked like a baby dragon

as with all things i care for, i make sure to do my homework, to be able to care for them in the best way. a healthy pet is a happy pet

[Scarlet Sky]

well, looks like i'm getting four girls... a friend went in with me, and we got two more, he's taking one, leaving me four...

here's pix of all five...

nice, im sure your male gecko will love you for gettin him laid:thumbsup:

[Scarlet Sky]

lol, that's why i decided on several females. a male can be...quite persistant. a lone female will be stressed by his urges, and eventually die. two or more are required in order to house them together; split the abuse, so to speak...

gotcha didn't i?

well, my male crested gecko is soon to lose his virginity. i am getting three female cresteds this week. beauties, heres some pix.

first two are the male, the last three are the new comers...

Hahaha, that's classic, You're like the Lizard Pimp!!!
