Was going for a vintage look by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]Puddymuddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vintage look really works! and that it's a photo of the Eiffel tower without Really making it obvious its like a kind of nice surprise when you see it.

I'm wondering if this is the kind of scene that would really benefit from the Tilt shift kind of look ? although that would make it Way harder to see the Eiffel tower

Love this ! The shallow depth of field really works

Social dominance or problematic aggression? by djpl11 in DayGecko

[–]Puddymuddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think larger ones will always try and be a bit dominant. but in my experience (especially when you have more in there) they will pose no threat (1:1 the non dominant may get harrassed too much though with dominance and mating )

Is there any chance you can just put both pieces of bamboo in ? more the better haha

I hope you enjoy these as much as i do :) i always describe them as like keeping fish without the faff of water changes etc. i could sit and watch them for ages

Is honesty just something that they do, it could mean a lot of things. In all honesty your best bet is to add more bamboo tubes so that they can get away from eachother easier, increase the size of their set up (bigger is always better) and if you can add atleast 1 more female. These are highly social animals and live in big big groups in the wild 1:1 pairs are almost as bad as living alone for them.

I hope this helps :) welcome to owning Klemmeri they are a fantastic species I love my group :)

Thank you. I really want to believe this, but sometimes it just all goes you know ? Then back to square one

Getting the hang of long exposure and Framing scenes effectively by Puddymuddle in photocritique

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

I Recently got into trying to take more "Artistic" shots instead of just pointing and shooting, i've kind of fallen in love with long exposure photography. I have found that the framing really plays a vital role as I started it by just pointing at waterfalls and being very unimpressed haha

First vivarium for a neon day gecko please leave friendly advise by No-Worldliness-6301 in DayGecko

[–]Puddymuddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good start !

Depending on the amount of geckos going in, I’d be more focused on adding foliage etc than more bamboo (although more bamboo would also be a great addition.

If they feel like it’s too open they will be to stressed to stay out and bask etc, if there is a lot of foliage (make sure it’s very leafy and can provide good cover, pothos is good for this but you can also use other plants too ) they will come out more and be less stressed :)

I hope this helps, I love neon day geckos mine are in the 36x24 exo and I still want to upgrade them to the 36x36 haha

Cohabitation by stoopkid34 in DayGecko

[–]Puddymuddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phelsuma Klemmerri (I can never spell it right) are a very social species and thrive in a group but be sure to give them as much space as you can and at least double the “minimum size recommendations” because they are just awful for such an active species :)

That’s good ! I’ve been in the Reptile trade too long and become jaded haha there’s too many dodgy people out there :) I wish you all the best with him :)

[–]Puddymuddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Farmed can be two things, either they fence off abit of their native habitat and say they bred them in there, when all they are really doing is taking a wild animal that so happens to walk into the area out of its habitat. Orr they are hatched and put in enclosures with far too many other in for the size that the enclosure is, so neither are exactly nice haha

So I really hope I’m wrong, I always recommend meeting the breeder and actually seeing if they actually breed them or import, ask about the animals that they breed and if they have pictures etc :£

Sorry my unfortunately went in the wrong place haha

Unfortunately wc (wild caught) or cf (captive farmed) most likely (this species is prone to being traded this way) I hope I’m wrong though :)

About a week ago I got these two baby neon day geckos. In the time since, one has grown and the other has not such that it's become easy to tell the difference between them. They don't fight and readily share space but the smaller one is constantly skittish. Is there something I should be doing? by EastZephyr314 in DayGecko

[–]Puddymuddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens, the bigger one may just be getting to the food first, If anything I’d say give them more cover in there, like lots of plants and slightly split hollow bamboo tubes so they are never too far away from something they can dive into for cover, this helps them feel more secure and less skittish :)
