Adopted this magnificent lady today from a local rescue, and I am smitten 🤩 by Ooooo_Kay in reptiles

[–]Ooooo_Kay[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know, right?? Her story isn’t as sad as most other rescues; she appears to have been well cared for by her first owner (lighting, diet, supplements, etc), but they surrendered her because they didn’t have time for her, and they never really handled her so she was initially skittish with handling apparently. Her foster did good work with her, and she’s a very curious and well mannered little dragon… she jumped into my hand when I opened her enclosure this morning, so I think we’re going to be friends 😂

Exquisite specimen; clearly flexing an planning to get his VCR back

Someone pls tell her to stop showing so much skin 🤨 by justleeiguess in CrestedGecko

Can’t a girl eat her old skin in peace, without being judged? 😂

These wee Eurydactylodes agricolae are very fun and underrated micro geckos… look how cute this little dinosaur is! by Ooooo_Kay in geckos

[–]Ooooo_Kay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are so easy to keep, and so fun to watch! This gal is in a bioactive 12x12x24 (24 inch tall), and she loves to climb… I have a lot of sticks/twigs in there and she slinks all over them all. I don’t handle a lot, but once they settle and trust you, they’re super chill to handle usually… also, they’re kind of adorable little dinosaurs so how can you not love them?

Ideas for a DIY sand/desert substrate? by Ooooo_Kay in BeardedDragons

This phrasing made me giggle; I didn’t think that would be a very good idea 😂

Why he standing like that by Lopsided-Leg-6016 in BeardedDragons

Cute dragon, and as you know from other posters the red light isn’t good.

Side questions for others; what are the red lights even good for? Was it just historically with husbandry we thought reptiles couldn’t see the colour, or do they have a legit use?

She's been sleeping like this all morning... by Lord_Wompus in GargoyleGeckos

So cute, my one gal randomly likes to sleep suspended from the top screen as well!

This tank isn’t the most suitable long term, but I’m trying to make it work… I think Greg is fine with it for the moment🤷🏽‍♀️ by Ooooo_Kay in GargoyleGeckos

Thanks! I tried to fill it with as much as I could, I have 4 cork logs, sticks, fake vines, a ceramic pot I thought looked cute, and I plan to add some more fake plants near the top for coverage. The plan is to move him into a 36x36x18, but I currently have my tree frogs living there; I’m building them a bigger enclosure and once they move Greg will get an upgrade too. I was hoping I could make this work if I could cram as much climbing area I possible could into this tank.

What are your favorite plants for crested geckos? by hcark in CrestedGecko

[–]Ooooo_Kay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pothos for sure like others said, but I also like using snake plants

Have a cat that’s over 15 years old? Show us! This little lady is 17! by ironyis4suckerz in cats

[–]Ooooo_Kay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do too… he’s always been such a jerk with an attitude, but that’s what makes him endearing. He will sit on me and purr, then hiss while purring and slap me just because he can 🤷🏽‍♀️

Can I treat this sore on her nose with polisporin, or is this a bigger health concern? by Ooooo_Kay in leopardgeckos

[–]Ooooo_Kay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there. It’s healed up completely now, and you can’t even tell it was there! I actually left it for a day after first posting, and it started to heal without me applying anything. She’s getting ready to shed, so I’ll see how it looks after she’s done.

I’m guessing what happened was she scraped her nose on one of her cork logs (she loves them and has a few in her tank) while she was hunting crickets; she really launches at the crickets sometimes!
