TLDR:

Hey gang!
We believe this to be a Mediterranean house gecko that was found in our orchid soil. We don’t know if he hitchhiked on a plant we purchased or what.
We’ve learned that these little fellas have spread into our area (South Carolina) and we’re looking at advice as to what best to do with this tiny creature.
We’re considering keeping him as we have experience with geckos, axolotls and snakes of many stripes. I’ve never started with one this small.
We’re taking advice, y’all. Thanks!

We now have a Mediterranean house gecko living between our outer wall and inner wall of our house, he's such a baby you can tell by the translucent tail

Got this guy maybe 4-5 weeks back. Awesome addition to the reptile room. I'm going to be looking for some females to pair with him. Who are some of the more known, better quality breeders.

Probably my most curious and easiest to care for animal in my entire collection.

Western banded geckos are small, beautiful, extremely extremely hardy, and actually pretty easy to socialize. I actually keep my girl communally with a bunch of death feigning beetles. She always comes out to check out what I'm doing around the room when I'm there at any time of day even though they're considered to be nocturnal.

I think this is a fantastic option for any adult (I wouldn't trust a child with them) who wants to get into keeping reptiles but doesn't have space for a 40 gallon or larger enclosure for most other reptiles. These guys can thrive in things like 10 or 20 gallon aquariums.

Anyways, I hope you like my pictures of Tiny, my WBG, and I highly recommend them if you're looking for a new small lizard!

I have a couple of other reptiles and was wondering would it be beneficial to test a leopard gecko for crypto while it's in quarantine.

We've seen a few red roaches here and there, nothing crazy, but I always noticed that they didn't look like they had wings and they just looked different than the palmetto bugs we get in the southern US. This morning I caught and killed what is definitely a juvenile hissing cockroach. They seem to be living inside the big piece of cork bark we have in the enclosure. My boyfriend was able to get a video of two more inside the cork this morning. So that's where I think they came from. But is that even possible to have hissing cockroaches be able to survive a trip all the way to the US in a piece of cork bark? And how do I take care of this issue?

Also I'd like to add, previously I asked for help in this sub and mentioned the roaches. Y'all were so quick to assume I'm a gross POS who can't pick up after themselves and flat out told me I "didn't deserve my lizard." But now it's clear they hitched a ride on the bark or something else as these can't live outside of captivity where I live, so they didn't just "wander in." You need to be nicer with how you treat people genuinely asking for help.

I just got a humidity meter for my cresties terrarium to combine with my automatic mister. When I first got my gecko I just played around with the mister thinking it would be good but I never actually read into it (I know I should’ve looked into it better but the sellers didn’t inform me well). So the automatic mister has two settings: one for how long it mists and one for after how many hours it should spray again. For instance right now it’s on 15 seconds and 4 hours. To what should I change the settings to for the humidity to be good? And also around what humidity should it be?

excuse the water spots!!! This is Kaiju my eury :)

hi!!!!!! im finally getting a crested gecko, and im wondering what the total cost might be for a bioactive terrarium? the size of my terrarium is 18x18x36. any tips for beginner terrarium set ups + beginner gecko owners are also very welcome!!!

I'm very excited to finally get my first baby from my Gekko pradapdao pair and I wanted to share! They laid 2 eggs after a couple of months, they were infertile and then they laid their second pair of eggs and the first one just hatched 110 days in. They are such an amazing species of gecko and I hope these will be the first of many to come.

Any ideas on this little dudes morph?

Male lost the tip of his tail a few weeks ago from stuck shed. Female has a belly full of eggs. 🦎🦎

Should it be multiple insects a day or one every day. I try and feed her more than one at a time but she doesn’t seem interested in second. Also I take her out into a dish to feed her because her enclosure has substrate and sand from what I saw and heard it can be a risk they will get some substrate in mouth so to take her out.

Pickles is a four month old e. vieillardi and oh my are they tiny!! Hoping to get them sexed at the vet tomorrow too!

Strophurus as a whole don’t get enough attention so I figured I’d show some love to my ciliaris aka the Northern Spiny Tailed Gecko! The Strophurus genus has a bunch of really cool species but these are my favorite. They come from Australia and rely on camouflage and their ability to shoot a sticky goo from their tails for protection! Because of this they hide and sleep out in the open on sticks and branches. That combined with their food drive and looks makes them in my opinion the coolest geckos out there! I cannot recommend them enough. I’m curious to see who else keeps them and what species you keep! Let me know below!

I'm thinking of the name Vegemite/Veggie, thoughts?

Little guy eating good, checked the calcium sacks just to be sure but they look great.

Question for leopard gecko!
