    Placement for feeding cups and ledges

    That's a great idea too! Plus, I would imagine that in the wild, they eat figs and fruit that have over-ripened and fallen to the ground. I think I'm going to try ground feeding over the next few weeks and see how it goes. Thanks, guys!

    Chahoua X Crested Gecko Hybrids

    I'd only seen them in pictures over the years, but recently held one from Elizabeth Tomecek/Kawaii Reptiles and it was absolutely gorgeous. They are truly stunning animals in person - this one was red and orange with streaks of brown and white. I can certainly see the appeal in owning one just...

    In-Tank Incubation / Will Chahoua Eat Their Offspring?

    I recently added more plants and natural elements to all of my vivariums, so I'm hoping I don't lose (sight of) more eggs... but on the flipside, I'd be curious to experiment more with this trend and see what happens. It's not my intent to directly leave eggs in the enclosure, but... I guess my...

    Chahoua Trios? 3-ways? 3 Somes?

    I've heard some people say that if you have one dominant female, you can let the two females sort out the power dynamic... but based on my first experience above, I've seen females REALLY beat each other up, and I would feel bad leaving a female in an environment like that where she is being...

    Best Caging Options for Raising Hatchlings

    I know many of you are already in the midst of baby-palooza this season, but I'm not quite yet. I've been looking at my oldest pair of eggs realizing that pretty soon, they'll hopefully be actual babies. That made me wonder how everyone houses and raises their baby geckos. I've used a few...

    Placement for feeding cups and ledges

    Has this worked well for you? I might need to try it... I'm at my wits end with cleaning enclosures lately!

    Straight Source: Full Discussion with Facebook/Instagram Regarding Live Animal Sale Ban

    Unfortunately, I don't expect that petition to change much. There are 2.4B people who use facebook per month, so 40K is barely a drop in the bucket. I think the biggest thing is figuring out how to use facebook in the "new normal" for each of us. The reality is anything we do on facebook, even...

    Placement for feeding cups and ledges

    I've historically put my feeding ledges about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up the glass with a cork slab or thick branch that leans against it. To @Frogmom's point, it's important that they can get easy access. Many of my geckos walk through their food bowls and all over the glass, creating a lot of...

    Crested calcium issue

    Which calcium supplement are you currently using? Also, are you sure that the eggs weren't infertile and then just went bad as the natural progression of a dud egg? @MelissaSR is the crested expert - she should be able to share more insight! :)

    My take: There are ways around these rules, but it remains to be seen how long it takes until facebook catches on. People are doing a lot of "PM for more info" but as we can see above, facebook is monitoring messages as well so I don't really think that is safe. Some folks are putting prices on...

    Calcium Crashes

    This will read like I'm bragging, but I sincerely don't mean it that way: I haven't had any calcium crashing females since I wholly transitioned to my own diet a few years ago, and started feeding more insects. Back when I was trying to feed Repashy CGD or some of the early versions of other...
