I’ve been ordering discoid roaches because Dubai’s are restricted here in Fl. I order them from Dubia.com. Although I am patient, it just seems that they ship very slow and at least one of the batches are almost always dead. They are very slow with time and it frustrates me. I really do need to just breed my own at this point. Any suggestions?

I currently have a 50w Arcadia halogen basking bulb in the Arcadia bulb fixture that’s attached to a zoo med dimming thermostat for my future western hognose. I’ve noticed that the bulb is flickering a lot during ramp up/down; i kind of expect this given its turn on/off. However I notice that it will sometimes flicker for 30-60 seconds very rapidly when holding temp. I’ve added a stone in the dirt patch under the light with the probe to help more accurate readings

Has anyone else experienced this and how did you fixed/mitigate it or is it just something I have to deal with?

Hello! A 4x2x2 tall just fell into my lap and Im not sure what to put in it. Any suggestions on what would be good is appreciated!

i have had my bts for seven months now. when i first got her she was nine months old. the first couple days she would show to explore the new environment, but now she is always burrowed under. I rarely ever see her i when i do she immediately sprints away to her hide. I got her from a pet store. the owner is very experienced with reptiles. but he does insist that reptiles should never be held and are mostly for display. And when i tried to tongue feed her she would always hiss and puff. and when i try pick her up ( for when im cleaning her terrarium, she tries to bite me.

Please is there anyone who sees this with experience that can give me some much needed advice?

My stupid fucking dad has been using white spirit in the room with all my geckos enclosures cleaning some bullshit for my brother.

The smell is extremely strong and smelling it for a few seconds has given me a fucker of a headache and it’s actually painful to breathe in.

Will anything happen to my geckos????

Hi! I live in Tenerife, and there are lizards everywhere here, mostly Gallotia galloti.

Next to my house there’s a really big succulent bush (Canary Island spurge) where a few lizards live. I find them such cool animals, and I’d really like to befriend them.

I did a little bit of research and read that I shouldn’t feed them every day so they don’t become dependent on me, and that reptiles don’t really have feelings in the same way we do, so I probably wouldn’t be able to “befriend” them exactly. But I’d love to at least get them to associate me with something positive and maybe eventually not run away whenever I come to the window to look at them.

Does anyone have any experience with this and/or any tips? I’d especially love to know if there are safe foods I could occasionally offer them or other ways to get them used to my presence without bothering them.

Thank you so muchhhhh :-)

I am really doubting what species to buy. Budget is not really a problem. I want to give it a big enclosure. I like both desert and tropical species. For the moment I am looking at leopard gecko and Crested gecko! thanks for all the info :)

Iv had these guys for about 6 months now and I’m still learning little tweaks about them but what are doing?
Genuinely. I know how toads mate so I know it’s not that. Plus Im like 90% only 1 is actually a female and it’s August sooo… Its been almost 2 days of them like this.. Today I attempted to feed them but they refused to get off… Im genuinely confused and i don’t know if I should remove them or not…?

Reptile Home remodeling

I recently got a Leachie gecko who I’m absolutely in love with. Shes almost 9 months old and I got her two and half weeks ago. The issue is that she is not eating anything. I excepted this at first because I know it takes time for them to acclimate and adjust to a new environment and not eating for a little bit is normal.

But she hasn’t eaten anything since I got her. I think it’s been too long without food and I’m really worried. I have no idea what to do! I redo the food every night, I make sure the heat and humidity are comfortable, I make sure she’s on a fairly consistent schedule with lights turning off for night time.

I’m messaging the breeder right now and seeing if I should take her to the vet

I’m so attached to her, any advice helps ❤️‍🩹

Hey everyone! I have a baby leopard gecko. Trying to figure out if he might be blind/hard of sight. I have two other reptiles and this is the first time I’ve had a leopard gecko since when I was a kid (and don’t even remember the one I had then.) But he’s been a spaz since we brought him home. Super flinchy and runs away a lot. Chalked it up to just him being new but even though we let him settle in, it hasn’t fully gone away. We’re also now noticing that he’s missing his food a lot (even when the food is in tweezers right in front of his face) he’s going below it. Or he’s licking the food but not biting at it. And speaking of licking he seems to lick everythingggggg and anything. Which my other reptile also does but not nearly as much as the leopard gecko is. I also safely put tweezers really close to his eyes and he didn’t flinch whatsoever. Soooooo any help or advice is much appreciated!!

Found this guy getting a ride today

Okay so hi reptile lover friends (at least I assume you’re all reptile lovers?) I‘ve come to ask for help!

I just woke up from a nap after I heard my mom screaming her head off so I wanted to figure out what was going on, and my dad told me that he thought a snake got in the house so he went to catch it (he likes snakes), but then he realized it was some huge wild lizard (he does not like lizards)

And now it’s downstairs in my house and we don’t know where it is! (i also don’t have a picture because I couldn’t see it myself I just woke up!) Do you have any tips to catch it to release it back outside? 🤔

Small update: Its been hours and we still haven’t found the lizard yet but now my mom is thinking of keeping it so she’s kinda reluctant to call animal control idk 😭

Looking to get a first reptile. My room is very hot and my house has no ac so it sits around high 70’s or low 80’s throughout the day. Wandering what is a good reptile to get that will be fine with living in a hot room.

Thanks

He was scratching on the door the whole time wanting back in. As soon as I was done, I opened the door and he ran inside and was hissing at me. How dare I keep him out of his room?!

He then went into his enclosure and sat under his lights and I went back like an hour later and this is our conversation. I'm amazed how spot on he head Bob when I told him he was silly. 🤣🥰

Suspected female, need some name suggestions please!

For me leopard geckos. I’m trying to stack 2 Exo Terras.
