Hi All, I have recently been in contact with facebook in an attempt to get some clarity about the live animal sale ban and the associated impacts. Below is the full correspondence between me and facebook: Me to Facebook, 5/25/19: Facebook replies to me, 5/26/19: Me to Facebook, 5/27/19...

Finding nice PI males is quite a struggle these days, but I was able to find a really nice one locally thanks to Lorna Redmond of Red Sky Geckos. He comes from her Arwen x Aragorn pairing, and considering his camouflage in these pics, he's been named Waldo. He'll spend the rest of 2019 packing...

I'll admit that I had one instance a few years ago where I walked into my gecko room to see two little babies in the corner of an adult tank, much to my surprise. I use bioactive vivariums so I always knew there was an outside chance it could happen, but I was surely shocked when it did! Here is...

Snakebites kill more than 200 people a day around the world, but Thai firefighter Pinyo Pookpinyo was one of the lucky ones. When the tip of his thumb was bitten by a king cobra, he made it to a Bangkok hospital within 15 minutes. There, he was given a serum that stopped the venom, which can...

I'm curious who is planning to attend Tinley this year... any members here? I've never been before but was thinking of attending, mainly to see some old friends and meet some of my "online" friends who I haven't had the pleasure of meeting in person. I think it would also be fun since our...

I know we're an eclectic bunch here, so I'd love to know what everyone does in their free time ASIDE from reptiles. I have three dogs who eat up a lot of my time. I treat and feed them like family (raw, human-grade food). I also love to hike, fish and be outdoors. Gardening and taking care of...

Hi All, Today we launched a new title level system that is based on post count. I wanted to share the levels with you, as follows: Chahoua Egg: 0-25 Posts Chahoua Hatchling: 26-100 Posts Chahoua Fan: 101 - 250 Posts Chahoua Collector: 251 - 500 Chahoua Addict: 501 - 1,000 Posts Chahoua...

One of the things I like to do over the spring and summer when everyone's appetites are up is offer a wider variety of feeder insects. I've tried just about everything over the years and am always down to re-try, so I'd love to hear from some of you about what food items your geckos like most...

It was mainlands that first got me into chahoua, and while I don't keep them anymore, I do sometimes look back on old pics and think about how they get a bad rep for not being as beautiful or interesting as PIs. Here are some of mine from over the years - who else has pics to share?

One of the the best things I did years ago for my chahoua was add heat lights for the breeding pairs. I know most of us have read and seen that chahoua and most New Caledonian species don't need heat - and they definitely don't NEED it - but I notice that my breeding females spend a good bit of...

It's been a few years, but I had one GT-B and GTx leachianus at one point in my reptile keeping life. I bought both of them as adults and one day I was holding the female with no shirt on. She crawled from my hand up my forearm and I moved my arm against my body so she wouldn't fall off. Upon...

I figured it might be fun to see everyone's holdbacks from the 2018 season. I only held back a few geckos, and I'll start with one I just photographed. I was planning to sell her because I'm heavy on females, but this is also the most fired up I've ever seen her, so now I'm torn. What to...

I was rummaging through old pictures this week and came across a group of pictures I took comparing e. agricolae and e. vieillardi, so I figured I would share. I no longer keep either species, but enjoyed them when I did. Who here keeps eurys? Eurydactylodes vieillardi...

A few years ago on the Pangea Forums, there was a discussion about what traits made a gecko fall into one of the different "white" categories, and it's one I think is worth revisiting and sharing here. I think some of the definitions have changed a bit, mostly at the "high white" end of the...

I've tried probably every one in existence over the years, but ultimately settled on Miner-All after a recommendation from Phil Tremper and after seeing great results in my breeding females. I've seen some others use Rep-Cal and some of the Repashy varieties, so I'm curious to know which ones...

Most of us know each other from our business pages and even our animals, but it's also interesting to me to learn what everyone else does for their "real" jobs. :geek: I made a move 2 months ago and work in marketing for a software company. Before that, I spent 5 years working in marketing for...

My inner nerd and 8 year old is always fascinated by stuff like this. Nor surprisingly, my love for dinosaurs is largely what fueled my passion for geckos! New species of bat-wing dinosaur discovered The rare fossil find from China is the best preserved example yet of this very odd dinosaur...

Hi All, If you're here, I'm sure you know about Facebook's crackdown on live animal posts. From what I've heard, some groups and business pages have been deleted even after removing old posts or text about sales. The same has happened to some Instagram accounts. I know that many of us have...

I want to make sure this forum is always working well for everyone, so if you have questions, need help, or have a suggestion, please feel free to post it here!

I'd love to get the feedback from other folks about feeding response with roaches... mine has always been so-so, and I stopped breeding them a few years ago for that reason. Babies and juvies would eat them pretty readily, but as soon as geckos hit that ~20-25g mark, they stopped eating roaches...
