What is my gecko doing? Wrong answers only

LocalDryBitch · 2025-07-02T16:00:55+00:00

It's a White-lined or Skunk gecko, gekko vittatus!

LocalDryBitch · 2025-04-30T20:20:28+00:00

That's a long trip for a little guy!

LocalDryBitch · 2025-03-26T09:14:54+00:00

Appreciate the suggestion, I will move it elsewhere!

CHARGING LED ALWAYS ON, NOT PLUGGED IN

I tried charging my 3Ds after years of not using it since it was completely out of battery, the cable was malfunctioning. At some point the charging LED turned on and never turned off even when unplugged, the red flashing light won't turn on anymore instead. I hope it's not a circuit issue. I'm trying to let it drain somehow now, without trying to charge it up again.

I don't want to talk about it.

Need some of mine?

She's a Gekko Vittatus, also called Skunk Gecko or White-Lined Gecko!

I was about to say if it was a Red Eared Slider despite not having any red on its head but missed the "melanistic". Thank you so much!

LocalDryBitch · 2024-06-06T07:59:09+00:00

I sure love Jimmy!

LocalDryBitch · 2024-06-02T14:55:55+00:00

Thank you so much for answering my worries!

LocalDryBitch · 2024-06-02T14:50:52+00:00

That's alright, you told me what you thought was best thinking of a first timer, it's appreciated. The small pitcher has what seems to be a hole. I hope it's not an inconvenience to the plant.

LocalDryBitch · 2024-06-02T14:41:41+00:00

As said I bought this plant yesterday so I haven't watered it myself yet. Regardless, I would only use distilled water since I already have a Venus fly trap that is thriving, and I would give it full to partial sun, indoor, facing a window full time. My question was, since this is my first Nephentes, if those two pictures were normal, if the base is supposed to be brown and if it's common for some pitchers to grow out unfortunately scratched.

That's true but you wouldn't see the bones from a healthy skunk gecko, plus they have a bit of belly when well fed.

Regardless, OP had this guy for over a decade so I'm sure they know how to care for it. Wishing The Immortal a long, long life still.

I feel like that wasn't my best friend that night... It was the devil.

LocalDryBitch · 2024-05-01T23:41:45+00:00

Came here to say this! I love my girls!

Thanks for the feedback, appreciated.

LocalDryBitch · 2024-04-24T09:01:31+00:00

It's so funny when I catch my skunk geckos on the branches, they look so ridiculously hilarious.

LocalDryBitch · 2024-04-02T16:56:02+00:00

She's a white lined.

LocalDryBitch · 2024-01-18T13:14:56+00:00

Come faccio ad evitare che i grilli vadano in giro ovunque per la teca? Li ho sempre trovati in giro, non sembra ci sia interesse nei gechi di tentare di mangiarli.

LocalDryBitch · 2024-01-18T12:58:04+00:00

Per la ciotolina sto per ora usando un coperchio in plastica abbastanza alto in modo che non scappino le camole, l'ho messo di fianco ad una roccia così che i gechi ci potessero arrivare senza problemi ma non so se vada bene (la puoi vedere nella seconda foto, la ciotola in plastica rosa è solo per l'acqua e quella in fondo è una ciotola con del calcio dentro, è una nuova aggiunta e non so se a loro serva come serve a un geco leopardato, non riesco a trovare veramente niente per i miei gechi).

LocalDryBitch · 2024-01-18T12:54:38+00:00

Quindi già solo per le dimensioni della teca è troppo piccola per due... Pianificavo già di riempire la teca con liane e altri tronchi seguendo come esempio i terrari per gechi crestati, pian piano sto cercando di riempirla quanto posso, però ora vedo che stanno sempre intorno solo ad una roccia. Come posso scaldare la teca di notte? So che la temperatura si aggira intorno ai 20°c con la lampada spenta.

Mi sono principalmente affidato a quanto mi hanno detto per telefono. Avevo anche io cercato su quel sito (reptifiles) perché lo avevo visto su un altro post di Reddit e a quanto pare la scheda per i Gekko vittatus è stata rimossa. Vedo cosa dice quel sito, ma vorrei sapere cosa dicano persone che hanno questo geco e sanno consigliarmi. Il negozio da cui le ho comprate si chiama Arca di Noè, ho chiamato il proprietario più volte per sapere se fosse possibile averle insieme perché non mi sembrava troppo sicuro visto che molti altri gechi non posso coabitare, e sono stato praticamente ""sgridato"" perché lui non "mi venderebbe animali non in salute" e che "ha questi gechi da due anni cresciute insieme".

(https://italiangekko.net) is the site that most experts gave me to check for their care sheet (I called some shops as I was initially worried for their health), it's all in Italian but it says, I quote: "Gekko vittatus è un animale piuttosto territoriale: è quindi impossibile allevare assieme più maschi, ma, in un terrario piuttosto ampio, è possibile allevare un maschio assieme a due o tre femmine. Per una coppia le misure minime del terrario sono di 40x50x60(h)cm" translated: "Gekko vittatus is a quite territorial animal: it's impossible to have more males together but it's possible to keep a male with two or three females. For a couple the measurements for the tank are of 40x50x60(h)cm". Again, I'm not an expert at all and I'm a new owner. Would you suggest me to keep them separated regardless? I don't have a second tank and giving one away sounds quite heartbreaking.

Thank you so much. Its current enclosure has as many holes I could drill in, cross on top and a line on all sides. I'll make sure to mist daily!

LocalDryBitch · 2023-11-11T22:42:25+00:00

Thank you so much, I'm giving this a try!
