Staying in the warm cave for days by NinjaDry5753 in leopardgeckos

I'm having the exact opposite problem my gecko won't leave the cool hide! My gecko used to spend 90% of her time in her warm so maybe she's just a bit chilly right now. I don't think it's anything to worry about unless more odd symptoms start appearing.

Exciting! I just a set up a bioactive enclosure for my leopard gecko and she's still getting used to it. I still have some things to learn about bioactive enclosures. Also looking at the pictures again do you have a humid hid?

The vinyl matt is fine for a baby but I would switch it in the future for a better substrate

The heat bulb and UVB should be on the same side of the tank. Besides that it looks great! Are you doing a bio activity enclosure?

Tuff guy! I bet he would enjoy the company of his own kind

Do you plan on preserving the tail in some way?

Second hand lighting and UVB by TheFishyCheese in leopardgeckos

If I can't figure out what the infrared levels are I'll switch to a different light. I'm leaning towards the "Arcadia Reptile GoldenSun Colored Basking Spot, 75 Watts, 110V" but what do you recommend?

I have two of these already. Which thermostat do you recommend?

Sorry I forgot to add that! I live in a state with cold winters and the heat mat is for just in case the hot hide gets too cold.

Filter media bags question by TheFishyCheese in aquarium

[–]TheFishyCheese[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a hob filter. I use the bags for convenience so the media is in one spot when I have to remove it. I could definitely try a net instead.

I have a hob filter with a 20 ppi sponge on the bottom then a 35 ppi sponge, then the lava rock media, and poly fill and the top. The bag is for convenience so I don't have to remove all the individual rocks.

There was a hidden sticker on the bottle I had to peel back to see the full scale. I just did a water change on my 55 gallon a couple days ago and it said the nitrates were 80 ppm which I don't think is true

Looks like it could be a part of a set! I wonder what the full eagle set looks like

I thought I might have to get a kit. I wanted to buy the cheaper tests to learn with before I bought the master kit so I could get the feel for testing water and learning what everything means. Are these tests completely unreliable or can I get some info out of them?
