REPTILE EXPO

On March 14th, I will be attending the Pittsburgh Reptile Show & Sale at The Harmer House in Cheswick, PA.
I am planning on getting a pair of Raptor leopard geckos, or a pair of Super Hypo Tangerine Carrot Tail (SHTCT).

The Bug Corner

Today i installed small black drawers on top of one of my shelves.
It has six drawers, in which i will house different generations of bugs called mealworms and superworms.
I will also breed mealworms and superworms, along with crickets.
I am currently housing my only mealworm colony on the top shelf, which are currently in their beetle stage.
I will be receiving one thousand mealworms and two hundred and fifty crickets on tuesday from petco.com.
I will also be getting one dozen superworms to start my superworm colony tomorrow.
Look for later posts to learn more about my cricket, mealworm, and superworm colonies and how i breed them.


Here are some pictures:

This is a Superworm. They are much larger than mealworms.

Shelf System Complete

Today we completed the shelf system to hold all of my leopard geckos.
We made and installed two single shelf systems. Both have no bottom tank (area for storage), and are five tanks high. We also have a very simple heating system.
The heating consists of one twenty-five watt bulb. The light bulb then heats the mat, which in turn heats the gecko.
We also plan to make a much shorter, yet wider system soon.

Saying goodbye

Sadly, today, my oldest leopard gecko, Leo, died. He was atleast 15 years old. And i have had him for over 4 years.

He never had a good nutrition. For the (atleast) 12 years before i had him he was fed on crickets and pinky mice, never anything like mealworms and wax worms. He never had a very fat tail, and he was alwase housed on sand. Lately he just started to not be able to eat very well and started slowly losing weight.

In rememberence of Leo

NEW GECKO!!!





Today i bought a new gecko.
I was at a store buying some crickets and mealworms when i stumbled upon the most beautiful gecko.
I named her Bella which goes perfectly with her chocolate brown and yellow colors.
I noticed her belly hanging low, and even though she is kind of fat (lets say fed well), she seems pregnant.
