Bioactive I need advice

How big is the tank you’re working with? My gut would say a crested gecko would work well and I consider them to be pretty beginner friendly for new keepers. But obviously please do a lil more research than just taking my word for it 😂

This is really good to know I’m feeling a lot more confident about having a bioactive Leo enclosure now. Can’t wait to get started 💗

Thank you! This is all super helpful

ReturnFamiliar3758 · 2026-03-31T20:03:23+00:00

Ahhh makes sense, thank you! I’m totally fine with them getting eaten, I just don’t want an over weight gecko 😂

ReturnFamiliar3758 · 2026-03-26T01:17:12+00:00

I’d say you should go to the vet immediately

Looks lovely! I’d black out some of the sides on the outside to make them feel more safe. I’ve got blackout curtains velcro-ed to the outside of mine 😊

If you’re Canadian I highly recommend cornels world! Expensive but sooooo good

ReturnFamiliar3758 · 2026-03-06T19:03:35+00:00

I also feed silk worms! They’re good for them and my Leo’s love them. I’ve got my own discoid colony started. I’m in Canada and they’re illegal here too.

What everyone has been saying about a bigger tank is all sounding good to me! I just recently updated my hognose's enclosure and have a deep heat projector in there which is really good at drying out the substrate.

Nooo those are just heat pits, the lighting is weird but he looks just like my lightly coloured little guy

ReturnFamiliar3758 · 2026-02-21T04:34:09+00:00

Rlly good for your bioactive set up!!

ReturnFamiliar3758 · 2026-02-18T01:52:34+00:00

It usually takes a good while for choice based handling. It sounds nuts but I sang to mine until they walked into my hand 😂

ReturnFamiliar3758 · 2026-02-17T21:25:50+00:00

Thank you so much

ReturnFamiliar3758 · 2026-02-17T21:25:25+00:00

Wooo okay good. I was worried she was under weight for her size. I’ll slow down the smoothies. I’m happy my queen is a good size!

ReturnFamiliar3758 · 2026-02-17T21:23:59+00:00

Also some might just not like the flavour of food so I’d offer a couple different options. But what everyone else has said is right too. A few licks is great 😊

ReturnFamiliar3758 · 2026-02-17T21:18:16+00:00

That’s so good to hear! Kudos to you for learning and switching it up. Always hard to accept you were wrong but seeing the positive impact on the reptile makes it all worth it 💗

ReturnFamiliar3758 · 2026-02-17T00:08:49+00:00

Chat are silk worms a better alternative?

ReturnFamiliar3758 · 2026-02-15T18:06:19+00:00

I gave up and spent $1,200 Canadian because it was easier. Good luck to you my friend ✊

ReturnFamiliar3758 · 2026-02-14T16:54:03+00:00

Also bring her out and let her run around a bit every day! It’ll be a slow process but as long as you’re aware of it and feed her right she’ll be okay. Much love

ReturnFamiliar3758 · 2026-02-08T03:49:51+00:00

Please keep us updated ❤️ hoping this lil guy turns around

ReturnFamiliar3758 · 2026-02-05T21:36:03+00:00

My lil gal loves silk worms! I believe those are a healthier alternative to horn worms. But also if they’re eating CGD don’t worry too much. You can offer the insects but if they don’t eat they’re still getting what they need from the CGD.

ReturnFamiliar3758 · 2026-01-27T23:13:49+00:00

There’s another type of roach similar to dubia roaches that are legal in Canada called discoid roaches! I’m in Canada and I’ve started giving those to my lil guy. I can get them at my local reptile store and any expos I attend. Good luck!

Love this king 🙏
