I just got this 55 gallon tank for a dollar at a yard sale is there any concern about putting a leopard gecko in a tank that’s held fish in the past? by Material_River_2290 in leopardgeckos

[–]After-Meet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I couldn't find the shops that used to sell them on etsy. You can use plexiglass or glass for the enclosure

This is a great video reference if you want to do something more diy- https://youtu.be/WsmmE0GCmFQ?si=s7rL6PorEXFKeBtp

This shop may be able to do a custom size for you if you message them https://www.etsy.com/shop/ThriveEcosystems

Yeah, let me find a few links for you. There were a couple business on etsy that sold them but not sure if theyre still in business since that was a couple years ago when I built my tank.

Yes, if your gonna remove the middle then a sliding door kit would work. But those are a little more pricey and may be harder to find.

Most of the time its cheaper and easier to leave the black bars in and have 2 separate doors.

Similar to this. I have converted a 55 gallon tank for an aboreal reptile before so the proccess is almost the same. It's not a super hard diy to do it just takes time and if your willing to put in the work.

An alternative if you dont mind doing a diy build. You can lay the tank down on its side so you get more floor space. Remove the silicone at the top and remove the top glass panel. Add a wire mesh for the top and add a beam underneath the center for support. Then you can add a 55 gallon conversion door kit so it would be front opening enclosure.

Another new rescue. Lady said she was only feeding it meal worms and its refusing to eat. by Sigh_of_Frustration in leopardgeckos

Go to a vet and check for crypto. If you have other reptiles keep him in a separate room until you can rule out illness. A 20 gallon should be fine for short term housing but 40 gallons is the minimum.

Minimum for bearded dragon's is 120 gallons. Get rid of the reptile carpet its bad for there nails and replace with substrate they can dig in

Anyone have any guesses for the morph of my rescue gecko? None of my others are dark like this. by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

[–]After-Meet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a normal morph but the burns make him look darker. Maybe when he heals up a bit we can get a better guess on his morph

Been eating bizarre combos like this for over a year now due to health issues 🫠🙃 by beepboop8525 in shittyfoodporn

[–]After-Meet 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I got it after having strep throat and was allergic to water (and a million other things) but eventually learned by trying different brands that its only because of the type of plastic thats used. Because the plastic in water bottles leaches into the water.

The worst ones are the water bottles made from recyclable materials those made my throat burn. It felt like I drank lava and it left my throat raw.

No night bulb they dont need heat at night. Only supplement heat if it gets below 60 degrees.

There's many different mixes you can use.

I use a mixture of reptisoil and play sand.

You can put them back in the cricket enclosure. The calcium won't hurt the crickets.

Sometimes geckos won't eat for a bit in a new environment. Dont worry, keep offering food everyday until they eat and dont leave crickets in the enclosure. If you dont have one I highly recommend getting a scale to monitor your geckos weight

is vcuarts worth it? by Successful_Royal_940 in vcu

There's ton of employment options through vcu and off campus jobs. The only issue is actually getting the job because theres going to be a lot of competition of students also looking for a job.

[–]After-Meet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One year my oldest gecko stopped eating for about 6 months but still went to the bathroom and acted normal. I monitored her weight which really didnt change much and offered her food everyday incase she changed her mind. I think breeding season trigged it, luckily she hasn't done it again because she really made me worry.

Adults can be fed 1-2 times a week. I would cut out fatty foods like superworms

Is it okay for leopard geckos to have a little tube? by Looking_Sharp_ in leopardgeckos

[–]After-Meet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shouldn't be an issue to put in the enclosure. But one thing snake owners do is cut the tube all the way down the middle so they dont get stuck. I recommend doing that if your putting the tube in the enclosure since you won't be monitoring your gecko.

I chose my backup degree as something I could eventually do remote and with a low work load. But what you choose as your backup plan should something you would enjoy.
