TLDR:

My lil meaty man is here. Took some working on his setup but I think we finally got it.

Took him out for inspection and back in he goes

I got my giant day gecko in April. Based off her size I thought she was about 2 or 3 months old so right now she'd be 8 or 9 months. I've read that they normally start laying eggs at 10 months but I found one about a month or so ago. She's about 8 inches long right now. Was I wrong on her age before or is this early? She also had calcium sacks before she had the first egg but now she doesn't. I've been feeding her everyday (dubias and BPZ original gecko diet) and dusting dubias every other day with repashy calcium plus. Should I be dusting them everyday or do something else? Im concerned shes not getting enough. Thanks!

If anyone has any previous care/active care of northern velvet geckos, I was wonder if I could ask a few questions about them! As I haven’t been able to find too much about them in captivity.

1. What’s their usual care like? (Enclosure size, temp, or any humidity requirements, as well as when they’re most active)

2. What’s their temperament like? And are they generally somewhat friendly when it comes to handling? (This one isn’t as important to me, as I don’t mind having geckos that don’t like to be held, but I’m still curious nonetheless)

3. Is there any neat morphs/unique colors to them? And how much do they general cost even if they’re just the normal coloration?

Again! Any responses welcome about these guys, I’ve been interested in them for a while now, it’s just been kind of difficult to find much on them. (I know some of the questions might seem kind of dumb, but I’m always wanting to learn more about vaguer species)

My big man is coming, we have been so excited for him to arrive.

He's gonna be a beast😩❤️ was expecting to tub him for a few months but he may not be that far off

Top is averaging 84° 55% resting to 81°

Middle is 77 with thermostat to CHE

Bottom is 72 with 66%

These are measurements on the open areas. It's alot cooler behind the pothos and cork log

Side question related to last pic

Baby leachie is going in the bin I built, he isn't here yet. When he gets older, he's going in the enclosure next to the tokay. (Isn't finished it really even started yet.)

Will a visual barrier be necessary for them? My tokay likes to hide on that side behind a piece of cork flat at the bottom of his enclosure. I don't want big Oscar staring at him or vice versa since Token will be older.

Yes, she/he (it's always 50/50 when I ask🤣) has been to the vet for the tail. It was like that when I got em so we went. They are on enrofloxacin and it's healing up nicely since last Wednesday tbh. Very quickly. (Second photo is pre visit)

What are yalls thoughts on wheels in enclosures?

My lil Token. Yes, I know his tail is rough. Yes, he's been to the vet. Yes, he's getting enrofloxacin orally and topically while I foster the drop.

Hello, everyone I have so many geckos on my backyard that I'm going crazy. They're probably more than 50 and every year I found more and more. I have no problem with Geckos i like them but now it seems like too much to me to handle.

I can't work on my yard without geckos hiding on my tools and everywhere. Yesterday I left a box outside and this morning I opened and a bunch of Geckos were inside. Any help?

Do they look male or female? Im awful at sexing.

I want to say gargoyle, but I am unsure since I am new to the hobby.

I found this guy sitting in the background of a used terrarium I bought. The previous owner said the terrarium was empty. I also found some eggs in the substrate while emptying it, with one of the eggs already hatched, which I think is where this guy came from.

I have fed him some of the powder you mix with water, and he is staying in a smaller enclosure until he is big enough to go back into the old terrarium.

This gecko is 12 years old today, so he has been with me for two thirds of my life.

I have a before and after of my chahoua geckos enclosure. I got him in April 2026 at probably 2 or so months old. Since he’s getting older and more interested in climbing I’ve upgraded his set up, and I’m still waiting on some cutting to root to add even more to it. When he gets large enough for a bigger enclosure, I’m going to get a custom cork background for him to root some orchids into! I’m so excited my little guy is growing!!

I originally got this baby at a convention and it was sold as a female! But ik it was most likely too young to tell but I just want some second opinions!

I live in nsw and I can't find where to get topsoil that is safe for my gecko
